Really Beating myself up that I let my teens drop their music and drama lessons. It became a battle to get them to go / do practice. But if I'd pushed thry would have developed life skills and a degree of excellence. Was I a weak parent?

I am feeling the same as you OP.

On one hand it is great not having to drive teenagers to guitar lessons or spend time reminding them to practice piano. But now I have a piano and two guitars that no one plays and teenagers playing games all day with no other hobbies.
