Parent of teenagers here, and I will be the one to tell you how very wrong you are. As they grow, at some point they start to withhold bits of info from you, innocent or not, and they eventually start branching out to do their own thing. And then they move out.

You can either be supportive (including appropriate discipline) and be there for them when they need you, or you can watch them leave at 18 with a chance of never seeing them again.

IDK about you, but I choose the former 100%.
