My DD 15 is starting to want to go out with her friends, and be out in town in the evening (dark here by 5:30pm) She has a mate who has a car and is now going out with him and his mates.
She's good and comes back when I ask, and keeps in touch by text, but I'm freaking out at the thought of what they might get up to and whether he'll crash his car, and how the hell I'm going to cope as she gets older and stays out later and later and then goes to Uni and I won't know where she is or if she's OK.
I know I've got to let her go, trust her, not think of the worst, but I'm a bit of a worrier and maybe a bit of a control freak too... Worried I'll never sleep again !
How do Mums cope as their teens grow up and leave??
Any advice, coping strategies, or stories welcome!!
