Wood, I'm glad you took my post the way it was intended!
I would probably do the same as you. It's easy for me to warn of being over-protective while I continue to do the very same.
I agree maashkioozhe, It is an extreme analogy.
My daughter has just started driving and although she knows all the right things, having ridden with her while she turned into oncoming traffic lanes (none there thank God), letting her have the keys to the car scares the crap out of me!
I doubt any of us here has been so sheltered that we never had a near death accident, or done some REALLY stupid things our parents wouldn't killed us for, had they known.
