So much this. Think of it in terms of child custody in family court, parents have and deserve NO rights, the only thing that matters is the best interests of the children. If that’s with mom and/or dad great, if not, so be it. Earn the privilege of your kids, or they will grow up and tell you to F off.
(P.s. you sound like a great parent, thank you for making the world a better place).

All the time I remind my fellow parents, and myself, that we are guides and not wardens. We show the path, we walk the path, and hope they follow.
