    I got too worked up over nothing tbh.

    Anyway I think there’s a balance to strike there, if you feel like what you need to say is very important it’s probably good to just say it, but if it goes off on a tangent that maybe had nothing to do with what your kid was talking with you about maybe ask them first if they want to listen in to what you would like to say, if not, you can let them off. There’s always time to learn, you don’t have to nag them every single chance you get imo

      Yeah, I check in often, and the lines of communication are open. Helps to have no lying (in general), but especailly to my kids (which unfortunately needs to be said because so many people feel like it is ok).
