My 14 year old daughter’s angry with me and is refusing to let me pick her up from her friends. She’s insisting she gets the train home at 10 pm instead. It’s 1 stop then a 5 minute walk from the station, it’s generally a safe area and she’s done this many times, just not quite so late.
Is 10 pm to late for 14 year old girl to catch train home?

All I seem to do is dish out the discipline lately; all she does is push back😧 Thanks for the opinions. She’s back now, got the train, not talking to me still, I let her know how worried I was.
What consequences is your DD facing for disobeying you and getting the train? I'm not keen on punishments (but I do have an easy going teen, for now at least Smile) but she wouldn't getting away with that.

You need to set boundaries now, there'll be room for compromises when she knows exactly where you stand.
