Leaving almost 19 year old daughter 2 nights a week.

[Hartey40]

So I leave my daughter 2 nights a week to stay at my partners. She is welcome to come too but prefers to stay at my/her home, he works in hospitality local to where he lives and finishes late so not practical for him to stay at mine, there is no issue with this arrangement, other than that I have mum guilt, does anyone else do this ? She starts university in Sept and she will be living 5 hours away, so maybe I’m emotional about that too. Please be kind with your opinions.

I completely get where you’re coming from- I would really struggle with this too but it’s actually really good for her and great preparation for uni. You’re obviously a super caring Mum.

Thank you 😊

Some of the responses on here are a bit unkind. There are some older teenagers who find being on their own overnight a bit daunting (and, actually, adults too). It sounds as though she is okay with it - when I was her age I would have found it delicious to have the house to myself for a couple of nights.

She’s 19 not 12. It’s actually a good thing you leave her alone for 2 nights. Before going off to uni.
