DD has requested I ask you lot to judge whether I am unreasonable or whether sh is.

[FerrisBueller]

DD is 14. She isa sensible nice person. We live in a nice sensible quiet place.

Saturday is the annual fair. DD thinks it is reasonable for her to stay out until 10pm. I think it is too late, that fairs attract weirdos and by 10pm drunk people.

She would be with a group of friends who all live locally.

Her latest plan to thwart my unreasonableness is to sleep at her friends house after the fair. Her friend is also nice and sensible but her parent is even more lax than I am (I am fairly lax nomally).

I think this is a ploy to stay out late despite my wishes.

Consider also these girls are all 14 and dress like hookers teenagers do these days.

So I say No. She will not be staying out past 9pm and she will not be sleeping at her friends house.

AIBU?

Very busy, very rough, very dodgy locals etc

My DS who is now 15 goes to the local fair when it comes round every time and we have this conversation every time! I allow him to stay until 10, (the end) but I insist on picking him up myself and will not allow him to stay anywhere else on those nights just in case he decides to go walkabout in the town centre with any ne'er-do-wells.

PuppyMonkey - the goose fair thing was a bit of an aside, as people were thinking it's the same time of year.

BoF - it's not really that bad, it's just that it's in a rough part of town, and because it's so massive and busy, it can get a bit dodgy in places.
Normally, if you're in a group, it's not a problem.

I'm with puppy monkey...from Mansfield originally and think goose fair is RAF!!!
9.30 for 9.45 at agreed pick up point and give a lift to the mate's house.

Or just cut out the middle man and pimp them both to Hooters!!!
