This this this!

Thank you for your words, wisdom, the insights. So much gratitude for how you show up and your work. I too have made it too easy for my son. Been working on this for the past year and a half. Was a huge slap in the face for me too. It is tough at times. Consistency is key. Funny how you think you’re on the right track and then this slaps you and you hope you can do it right this time round.

Thank you so much! Amazing you have been shifting things for a good while now. Your son is going to benefit so much long term. How did he adjust to it?

I see improvements

Ofcourse its hard sometimes for him

It was also comforting to see that he grew into the new status quo 🩷

so much overlap between parenting and relationships in terms of managing support and holding people accountable. The boundaries we set are so important, but often difficult to decide where to draw those lines.

Totally, it’s such a fine line on a day to day basis, and I’ve wobbled quite a bit on my parenting journey. But overall now at his age we’re starting to have real conversations about why and he’s getting it.
