In saying that, I did have to kind of think about Emma Greed's perspective is going to come from her own childhood and her own experiences.
And
As she said, she had a very, in her own words, like a hands-off mother who was there financially and provided support in terms of a home and food and shelter, but perhaps not the quality time or the one-on-one parent-child relationships.
And I had the opposite experience just being like a child of Indian immigrant parents.
My parents were helicopter parents.
Every grade, every assignment, every like little change in my day, my parents were onto it.
They would drop us off every day to school.
They'd pick us up.
They would ask questions.
Any time that they could get involved, they were like involved 110%.
Like I remember going to a Sikh like children's camp
And I would just turn around and my dad would just be there and I'd get like a jump scare.
I'd be like, Jesus Christ, what are you doing here?
And so I can't imagine not being a very hands-on parent and I personally feel like I would want to be more focused on like pouring as much as I could into them and maybe that's not the right way of doing things.
However, it is really nice to know that like maybe there is an overcomplicated way
culture that we've created and that maybe I won't feel mom guilt because I kind of have seen examples now and I can understand that the kids will be okay.
But I mean, it's always so rich coming from someone that doesn't have kids, isn't it?
Like someone that's like, I'd do this if I had a child, you know, and fast forward, I just am like, look,
As long as they have, like, their T-shirt on on the top and shorts on on the bottom and their hair is, like, half brushed, that's good enough for me.
So God knows what will actually happen.
