Yeah. But I think people have to be careful not to parent out of guilt. That's right. And what I worry about, or I would caution Shira, is to, when you do make that choice, whatever the choice is, don't parent them like you've hurt their feelings. Because sometimes people overcompensate for choices that they feel bad about. That's the disservice to kids. It's not moving them.
