I thought as a parent, you were supposed to check up on your kids and know what their doing...All that crap about 'they make their own choices', to me says - you don't care.
My mom was just like yours. She gave me freedom, but also monitored what I was doing. She was very strict on me until I turned 18, and still monitored me pretty closely.
I don't know - maybe I'm too harsh - but I believe you should know what your kids are doing and can do that without being too overwhelming.
