My daughter rejected her mother's help, so I told my wife to let her alone, and not help anymore. If she fails, she fails, then she can reflect on the fact that she rejected help and is now facing consequences because of that. It was homework.

But I didn't realize she could have become wildly depressed from getting a bad grade, and that could have lead her down a road towards crime, wherein she could have fallen in with a gang of thieves and murderers, possibly even time travelers. Who's to say she wouldn't have traveled back in time and murdered owl as a baby?

I murdered owl with my reckless parenting. Matty should just delete my account right now.
