As your daughter is just being playful too. To her, the internet is make believe.
May I ask you a few questions?
How are her grades? Does she "usually" lie to you, or is she truthful?
Does she do her chores, her homework?
More to the point....... is she a good kid or not?
You my friend are not going to stop mother nature. Your child, is becoming a young lady now. Youung men do get her attention.
I raised 3 children all by myself, and I had one rule that has always worked for me....
Be honest, and keep your grades up, and you'll have your freedom.
Communication is key though, we always ate dinner together, and talked alot.
I hope this helps you to put it in it's proper perspective. |
Very good advice. I have a 17yo daughter, too. I don't know what I did to deserve her. She is everything I wasn't. She gets great grades, helps out when asked, can carry on adult conversation, etc.
She is the star of my show. We are always honest with her, and she reciprocates.
