DD (Yr8) did not have any real friends in our local area until she moved to the local secondary school (from one 3 miles away) last month and now has lots of mates in our local area which I am delighted about.
Anyway she is now 'playing out' which she never used to do before(so I am not used to her having her freedom )but keeps coming back later than the time I told her to. Yesterday she went out at 1.30pm and I told her to be back by 4.30pm as I think 3 hours just to play in the park and walk around boyspotting chatting was plenty of time. She texted me to ask to come back at 5.00pm and I said OK then texted again to come back at 5.30 (which was the time dinner would be ready) and I told her No as I thought she was pushing it. So she texted back that she would come back when SHE was ready and finally came home at 5.45pm.
AIBU to ground her for a week - she just had a hissy fit when I told her she could not go out after school but I told her that I must be able to trust her to be back when I say so? Or am I being too harsh as I am not used to her going out, I start panicking if she's not back on time and don't really need the extra stress!!
AIBU?
to ground DD (age 12) for a week
