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?

Hasn't it always been awful being a parent? I feel like youngins being scared of shit that's new to them is old as humanity, itself. I 100% believe that ten thousand years ago, there were kids whining about how hunting down a boar or whatever looks scary and they don't want to try it.
