It never ceases to amaze me how incompetent children are considered nowadays.

We told our boys (2nd and 3rd grade) to walk to their grandma's house after first day of school. It's a 10-minute walk from school.

The teacher called both the grandmother and us in disbelief that we would instruct them to do so.

I mean... what the heck?!

I'm not sure I get your meaning.

this whole nannying bullshit is a plague of this current era, since the 00s... everywhere it goes it turns the world into shit

Agreed. My kids are perfectly capable of walking for 10 minutes. I take them hiking and they have no trouble getting to and back from the peak we're visiting.
