And, yes, there is a line to be drawn. But, me, I'm sure I looked like the baglady's kid. My sister and I were often allowed to go out of the house in our halloween costumes in the middle of July. I have CP which has caused me some mobility issues and when I was like 2 years old, I am dragging myself along the concrete with my elbows while my sister was walking alongside my mom. Someone asked my mom why she didn't carry me and my mom replies, "When she decides she wants to walk, she will. Until then, this is how she has chosen to get around." (Of course the story was told to me after the fact and no, I never did learn how to crawl. I went from dragging to walking.)
My mom and I were cleaning out my room because I'm moving out and I had the euthenization papers from a guinea pig that was put down when I was like 10. I asked my mom why she let me keep that kind of stuff and she replies "Your stuff was your stuff and I never quesitoned you on it. If you wanted to keep that paper, it was yours to keep."
