Good Lord! I would have tracked those boys down. What were they thinking?? Good for you to not change your life based on one experience.

Way to go! I can’t imagine how difficult it was for you, but I’m sure years from now your daughter will look back and thank you for giving her the courage to take back what’s hers.

And I love the post title.

I just caught up with you and holy shit. You did the right thing and it couldn’t have been easy.

And you have a helluva kid there. But you already knew that.

That was hard. Really hard. I’m not sure I would have pulled it off that well. I would have wanted to hover.

No – Jeff would have held me back from trailing ‘em in a car.

Either way – I’m so glad that the girls were proud of themselves.

You’re equipping future women.
Amazing.
Perfect.
Lovely.

my older daughter is eleven and i still wrestle with trying to figure out where to hover and where to let go. i think i will always feel that way as new things always come up. I think you did the right thing here. Sounds like she got the message to be confident but cautious. And you somehow shielded her from a lot of the fear you may have been feeling.

Wow, I can only hope I can be as calm and collected as you were in this situation. Damn, B is only two and she already has me spinning like a top.

You’re my non-helicopter-ing role model! I’m sure I would have walked with her a couple of days. I wonder what my husband’s reaction would have been? I should ask him.

I have dutifully sent in my photos, including one where I’m fresh out of the shower and my head is all wrapped up in a towel. Hey, at least I found the time for a shower!
