Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I’ve had skydiving on my bucket list for quite a while, as most people do. Falling is one of my biggest fears so it’d be a huge accomplishment. I’m finally 18, I found a place to do it and I can afford it. However, it really stresses my mom out. She keeps sending me articles on skydiving deaths, even though I’ve given her statistics (you’re a lot more likely to die in a car). She tells me we’ve had a lot of stress in the last 4 years (moving, dog passing, 2 family friends passing, etc) and she doesn’t want any more. Am I the asshole for wanting to sky dive when it’ll stress out my mom, or is she just being a protective parent?
