I just watched as my only child drove away in a driver's ed car...I am now a nervous wreck...

Somebody tell me where the reset button is located. I want my 5 year old, again.

I wish it worked that way.

My oldest girl is married...my youngest likely soon will be.

Hell I still remember watching the little mermaid with them for the 100th time like it was yesterday.

More like tips for how to be a psycho over protective parent. Goddamn man, trust your kid a little until they give you a reason not to

ETA:

The most ridiculous thing you said is read their text messages. What a fricking invasion of privacy. I hope you don't do that dude.

Literally all the shite I over did it on was because my parents were so paranoid that I'd do it.

Kids with strict parents were the ones that lost their shite freshmen year of college. It was hilarious to watch.

ETA:

Or they have retarded social skills (retarded in the literal definition sense)

I agree with that. I got an hour of sleep last night because my kid decided he wasn't up for sleeping in his crib, so as a last resort we put him in our bed, which we never do, and he decided it was time to sing and clap all night. Drover me insane, but it was laughing inside the whole time.

This, just had a former student whose mom kept her thumb on her. She didn't make it a semester in college before she was back home and pregnant.

The worst part about this is that the mom probably thinks like "See? I knew I should have been more strict."

My mom would say "who wants a spoon full of candy?!!?"

They're about as protective of him and his little sister as I am.
