My kids got up in my face and asked why I let them do any thing if they were going to screw it up.
After an angry moment of advising them to back their ass down I had a moment of clarity.
I told them that a parent is here to let you make mistakes, to let you fail and help you put it back together (if possible) and try again. We are not here to make it easier. We are here to love you, to teach you from our experience, and to help you learn from _your_ mistake.
