Q:
My partner and I don't agree on how much freedom to give my 17 yr. old daughter.
My 17 yr. old daughter is basically a good kid, besides the normal mood swings and rolling of the eyes once in a while. My partner and I work all day and my daughter stays home alone. She follows all the house rules, doesn't drive yet or have a car for that matter. She cleans house and cooks for herself everyday. She hardly ever asks me for money. It's summer time, so now during the day she will ask me if her boyfriends mom can pick her up so she can spend time with his family. She never stays for more than a few hours and always makes sure she finishing the chores at home first. They are good people and I know both his parents. But my partner says that she shouldn't be allowed to go everyday. Am I doing wrong for trying to trust my daughter? Am I giving her too much freedom?
