Is it hard to parent today?

My 21-year-old stepdaughter has taken the scenic route to independence. She's mastered the art of relying on me for rides because she's "too afraid to drive."

I've had to draw the line, encouraging her to spread her wings and conquer her fears. It's not always easy, but I believe in her ability to grow.

Have you faced a similar situation with your young adult child resisting the road to adulthood?

Nope. 4 kids, 21, 19, 18, and 16..
The 3 adults have part time jobs, 2 goes to college. At the moment they don't need to drive, but they are looking into getting their permit once they are ready.

I had my children young, and have witnessed me doing things, like going to college at 30. Modeling works wonders.
