I think one of the best things my parents ever did for us kids, aside from showing us daily how much they loved each other, providing a stable home environment, and working us like farm animals to teach us work ethic, was to give us almost total freedom in our spare time. No requirement to account for whereabouts. No curfews. But a severe yank on the chain and making us deal with the consequences solo if we fucked up. I’m glad that I at least got to experience life like that for a handful of years. Sometimes when I think of how many times I’d be alone miles from home with nothing but a canteen, a backpack and a .22 I think they may have been actively trying to get rid of us lol.
