17 year old DD phone restrictions

[marionemread]

For the past few years I've taken all electronic devices off my 17 year old daughter at 9:30pm and her WiFi goes off completely at 9:30pm. This is the same for weekends and during the holidays. This results in constant arguments and her attitude has worsened including her swearing and arguing with me and being very reluctant to give her phone over. Am I being too strict?

Sadly I expect that if all turns out fine your parents will say 'see, we were right'. If anything goes wrong they will say 'see, we were right'.

The only way to avoid this is to keep information to a minimum.

So how did you manage to post at midnight if the wifi is blocked at 9.30?

WiFi is blocked on mine and my siblings devices, I used to family laptop which isnt blocked and they didn't know I used it last night

Does your 14 year old sister mind the wifi being turned off at 9.30?

All you're doing is setting her up to go absolutely bonkers and out of control in uni and distance herself from you.
You'll never have a good relationship with her because your so controlling. It will effect her feelings towards you for the rest of her life.
Shame. It'll happen with the younger two as well.

I’m not buying any of this - OP is the mother now pretending to be the daughter as she doesn’t like the responses ...

@Blue09 it's called a reverse.

Liverpool is a fab city and the university has a good reputation. Grit your teeth OP and achieve those grades. Not long until September, and with revision etc to do, it will fly by.

Don't become bitter, don't let them get to you or screw you up. Enjoy university but don't go off the rails. Try to forgive and forget. This will be a distant memory one day.

This is probably a set up by the Daily Fail as I just found an article about it!

Some of the responses have been screenshot, is that allowed?

It shows that even the mail don't RTFT . It was revealed as a reverse somewhere down the line. Twats.

Usual Daily Mail inaccuracy as the discussion was not even started by the mother, because it's a reverse.

Yes anyone can screenshot mumsnet. It's s public forum and people should always remember that when posting.
