@Catvalente@wandering.shop I was astonished to find out how much of parenting was just providing basic material support and otherwise staying out of their way, and occasionally intervening to stop other adults from interfering with them. Kids' lives are their own.

@foolishowl@social.coop @Catvalente@wandering.shop The goal of parenting is to guide a human just enough so that they can become independent. They will come back and ask for more help if they need it.
