So-17year old daughter has always struggled with friends (she had none really) and has now found new friendship group. She’s feeling much happier and is enjoying spending time with them. I was due to pick her up later, checked her location about an hour ago and saw that they had driven an hour and a half in icy conditions to go to the Pleasure Beach, arrival time 11pm…obviously husband and I have messaged her, totally not anything we would allow her to do,I’m all set to fetch her back, husband argues let her friend drop her back as planned (what, at 4am? 6am?) then give her the riot act. This is NOT acceptable for us or the way we have raised her, others may disagree but I don’t want my daughter wandering around any area at 1/2/3 am fgs. At the right time she can be out all night -drinking clubbing,etc, I know it’s a rite of passage-this is not that time and feels very unsafe. Suggestions please…

you will eventually look back and smile

I now understand and feel sorry for my mum thinking about my 17 year old self! I’m enjoying hearing about everyone’s teenage nights out though, very amusing.
