Middle kid might never have graduated if I'd eased up at all. But aside from that, the other two kids made it easy enough to be hands-off. <br /><br />It can be HARD to not to hover sometimes though...right?<br /><br />I like the name, Tank Girl. Personally, I was known as She-Rah for quite a while there.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-89697267268004653132013-08-12T16:42:11.674-06:002013-08-12T16:42:11.674-06:00I seem to remember that I couldn't wait to hav...I seem to remember that I couldn't wait to have my independence when I was their ages.

My wife did have a tendency to hover a bit and there were a few times I thought i was going to have to taser her to let junior go off and learn/fail on his own. Still, junior did wind up ok and I don't think we screwed him up too much.

Eventually it became very stressful to micromanage four children, and I was finally convinced to back off and let them work things out on their own, suffering the consequences if necessary. I then became such a "Tank Girl" mom that my daughter claims she's raised herself. (And she's done a fine job of it, I might add.)<br />You're exactly right, the best moms are the ones who work themselves out of a job. I sometimes feel guilty that I'm not involved in every aspect of their life, but it's much more beneficial to them (and me) if I'm not. <br />Good luck these next two weeks - although I'm quite sure you won't need it. You've got this 'mom' thing down pat!<br />Will you have your own Grizzly Jumpstart day before YOUR school starts?
