Why must parents micromanage their kids?
Some parents invest themselves in parenting, at the expense of their personal and social well-being. We should do all we can for our kids, but if we don’t maintain outside relationships and interests, then we will lose ourselves. It is not healthy to put all one’s eggs into one basket, so to speak. IMO, parents are most likely micromanage their children when they give up those outside interests and have nothing else to occupy them. This is not to say that parents should be neglectful, but even family members need a little bit of space away from each other.
