i can so relate to this, .. as a kid i was out on the street corner till late and begrudgingly came home at curfew time. now my goblin daughters are way older then i was at the time, ... and we all have mobile phones. but if they are late home or dont pick up the phone i begin to fret and they cant understand it when they turn up.... one day they will have their own kids and they will know what its like for mommy/daddys i tell them.
Oh my I can imagine the fret when they don’t pick up their phones! 😦
Yes one day they will definitely understand why you feel the way you do. Just as we do now.
Thank you for your feedback ~
