Today, I refer to a dialogue from a Disney web series, The Mysterious Benedict Society that my son and I are absolutely in love with:
'To be a parent is a constant state of worry. But I'm learning that worrying is not a form of preparation. It doesn't make anything less likely to happen, nor armour you if it does.'
So true. Once a parent, always a parent. However, good parenting is not about feeling mindlessly responsible, guilty and stern round the clock. It is more about exposing your child to the vagaries of the macrocosm and knowing that you have spent enough time, arming him/her with the correct values, strengths and perceptive skills that should surely stand him/her in good stead. Well, generally!
