so today we were talking with another friend of ours about her daughter.
And I was talking with a new friend about how the older our kids get, the less they need us.
The less they rely on us.

It's part of life.

Do it yourself.
Teaching them to be self-sufficient.

You don't
need me
anymore.
You don't need me at all.
That is my role.
My current role with my daughter is I give her money and I drive her places.
That's...

life than...
