"Richards decided on a different approach -- she would think for herself."
And that goes for so much more than mothering.
I know it's not an especially controversial or even original thing to say, but sometimes it does seem like a lost concept. People seem pathologically unable to say "this is right for me, no matter what anyone else thinks."
