| Should I allow my 19-year-old daughter to date my friend’s son? | |
She’s 19, and in most countries, a legal adult. You don’t get a say in who she dates. You can give her your opinion, but she can do with that what she pleases, upto, and including not speaking to you about anything anymore. You sound like a parent that’s not ready for their child to be grown yet. And I get it, it’s hard to let go, and I don’t look forward to when my kids get to that age, but the more you hold on and try to manage their life, when you are no longer supposed to, the more she will push you away and not have you as a part of her life. It’s her life, let her live it. |
