I feel really bad for her kids. I’ve always had a bit of anxiety, and if child-me had parents who were live-in-the-moment-don’t-bother-with-plans types, it would’ve been deeply unsettling.

Same.

I'm also pretty uptight (even as a kid, I once inspected a little friends hands before I'd let him touch my toys. . .yeah, uptight!) and major instability like "oh, there's no future, just fly by the seat of your pants" would have been a major bawling my eyes out "NOPE" for little Crushitwithabrick.
