Cutting the Cord

You have to let kids mess up their own lives

Britney’s dad’s conservatorship over the pop star may be ending soon.  Apparently he’s ready to let her run her own life again. I think it’s good to just let her go and make her own mistakes.   I recently had to do the same thing with my own father, and I feel a newfound sense of freedom. Granted, it was my conservatorship over him that ended, but now if he wants to walk out to get the mail in nothing but his underwear and a ski cap, it’s no longer my problem…legally.
