Ugh I am having this exact conversation with my middle schooler at the moment. I can see her becoming exasperated with a mother who spends a lot of energy “not consenting” to a LOT of crap. Mostly at the airport. And school. Anyway, just today I reminded her: the rules are made for people, not people made for the rules. Don’t ever forget it. It is absolutely imperative that we know and understand the spirit of the law and when it is appropriate to follow that rather than the letter. Rant over.
