My kids have been succcessful in redirecting my micromanaging attempts by repeating variations of “Mom,you don’t have to worry about that, I’ve got it under control.”



Sometimes, this means, “Yikes, I had totally forgotten about that!”

So although your kid has successfully stopped further discussion on the topic, your initial mention of it may have served a purpose.
