I can't forgive her for naming her kid Izzy.
But this is how I was raised and I didn't turn out so bad. I logged a lot of hours by myself, unsupervised, getting into trouble, getting hurt, wandering around. I wouldn't have had it any other way. I get sorta mad when I hear about over-protective adults. I actually never considered that organized sports might contribute to this, but I guess I can understand that. I played 8 years of soccer and I hated every minute of it.
