Daughter going out and arrive late

34 replies

Last few weeks my 18 yr daughter goes out every day wearing sexy clothing.
She returns home about 12.30am
She says she is going out with a girlfriend. She does not answer my phone calls when out. Recently, even went out at 9am wearing sexy clothes.
When we ask her where she went and with who, the response is 'with my friend.'
We are very concerned.

Follow her?

You need to work in building a relationship with your daughter!

Let her be who she wants to be

I appreciate this is a western society, but there are Islamic rules she must adhere to. She was bought up as a Muslim and it is important to us that she does not deviate.

You have had your time to guide her to follow your beliefs, you can continue to explain your beliefs to her, but ultimately, and thankfully in the UK, the final decision now as an adult is hers and your beliefs may not be hers.

Is your daughter more important than your beliefs? I hope so. If she is start by listening to her. Otherwise you may lose her completely.

you aren't concerned you want to control her

Today, she wanted to go to the gym at midnight. I told her she cannot go this late. I fear for her to travel very late at night. I asked her why she did not go earlier in the day. No response.

My wife checked our daughter's bag. There was a receipt for a one night stay in a hotel and a pregnancy test kit. Also, on the day she went, she was wearing sexy clothing.
We are very concerned. She went out at 9pm and returned at 5am

She's an adult, she's allowed to make her own choices even if you don't approve or agree with them. You may not like what she's doing but it's up to her.

I'm beginning to think this is a trill account

Why are you so concerned about the clothes your daughter wears? Saying that her clothes are sexy, you're sexualising your own child.
Is she going out only wearing underwear, or completely normal clothing that is what most 18 year olds wear?

Oh, turns out she was with her girlfriends at the hotel and it was a fake pregnancy test kit to fool her friends.
