I never want my kids to mess up and think “my mom is gonna kill me!”

I want their first thought to be “I need to call my mom.”

Parenting with fear isn’t parenting at all. It’s tolerating a child’s presence until they are old enough to mind themselves.

So far my kids will call one of us if they have an issue. They are home schooled by our Nanny so she is home with them . My hubby took early retirement and does consulting ...which means he enjoys working on his jeep rebuild . Its when they are older and need help or a ride that you have to tell them to call any time for help, or a ride if they have been drinking with out punitive consequences. Of course the drinking thing would probably get a breathilizer installed on their car
