What is one thing growing up that you dealt with that the way your parents raised you that you did not carry on? I will go first. My mom was paranoid with everything. Like if you went outside, the cold air was gonna make you sick. If you went out with anybody, you were gonna get sick. If you even smelled like cold air, you were gonna start running nose. If the air touched your ear, you were gonna get an ear infection. Like I feel like now I deal with so much anxiety because no matter what, like there was always an issue for just simple tasks. So I'm trying to make sure my kids understand It's okay to get muddy. It's okay to get dirty. It's okay to be around people. If you get sick, you get sick. Like we're not just gonna shelter our children like I was sheltered. Anybody else deal with something like that?

I was raised in a really Catholic household and it was just something that I didn't believe as a young like from a young age but I was forced to do it go to Catholic school go to church every Sunday and follow all the Catholic

So I don't think I really had like a sheltered childhood. I don't think like anything that my mom did with me. I'm doing different. She was like a pretty lenient mom. The only thing I used to tell myself was if I ever have a kid, I would not keep them from friends places. but now I get it because you cannot trust.

Okay, so I got one, I was sitting right next to my mom, so this is kind of funny. But I'm not gonna tell my kid that it's illegal to turn on the light inside the car, because it's not. Because I swear.

One thing that my mom kind of, she didn't teach me but she would always talk about is like she would always talk about people's bodies in like a negative way and be super judgmental about everybody and everyone.

So I wasn't really sheltered as a kid, but there was some things that my parents never talked about that I wish was talked about more, and that was like the birds and the bees, like sex. You talked about it and you were belittled.

My mom sheltered me by not letting me do things with my friends. Always having to meet the parents first, not letting me go outside when it was cold. She didn't let me get my license when I was 16, so now I'm scared to drive, so I still have my license.

It was the same for me and growing up in New York, I didn't have many friends because we were always stuck in the apartments. So it's like either apartments, going to school, going to church and back. school, church, sometimes a park, and back.

I definitely didn't have a sheltie childhood at all and that's really really hard I feel so bad for you that you had to do that because cold air does not make you sick but my mom really talk down on herself like a lot growing up so that's definitely one thing that I will not be doing
