I am here in your business - get used to it.
Absolutely!
Not having any teens yet, I hope that sooner or later I will be able to trust mine. Delicate balance. I went anywhere I wanted to go. My parents trusted me and that kept me out of trouble (drugs, drinking, mischief) there was nowhere for me to sneak around to. But they also trusted my driving - a big mistake. I don't know where that balance is.

Cordially,
GE

I have a grand plan for letting go but you know about the best laid plans of mice and men. You obviously made good choices and your parents knew it. Gotta be a story there about your driving though. lol

I'll never forget taking the family car to a neighboring town to take a friend home after I was told not to leave town. I ran out of gas in neighboring town and guess who I had to call to come get me. Dad never said a word to me that very long ride home. He didn't have to. We laughed about it in later years. Another time he found my sis at a dance she wasn't suppose to be at. She was dancing with her eyes closed and when she opened them there was 6'2 Dad a'la John Wayne standing there instead of her little dance partner.
My Dad didn't need no stinkin' GPS tracker.
