Does your teenager do this?

Next time her daughter just won't tell her, and she'll be up all night fretting with no idea where her child is because the lesson she's teaching is that advance warning is just as much of a headache as NOT communicating at all.

Might want to pump the brakes here. If someone “finances your life” they get to lord it over you like this? Probably could just use the whole “I’m your mom” thing instead.

Are you people being fr in the comments? It’s 10:30 PM!!! A teenage GIRL should NOT be out of her parent’s watch!! What is this wokeness??

My daughter once tried to bypass her curfew by saying she was staying at a friend's house. My son's best friend called me and said he saw her at an under-21 club at midnight with her friend, knowing her curfew was 10. I had her brother go drag her home. Her curfew became 8.

These comments cannot be fr rn? Yall letting y’all’s teenagers run amok all hours of the night?? Now you’re planning teen pregnancy or a funeral because you couldn’t keep your child under control. All because you want to be their “friend” and not their parent.

My 18 year old son home from college is so sweet. He'll say "Mom, is it okay if I go (...) with my friends tonight?" Son, you're an adult, you don't have to ask, but I appreciate you letting me know. Next day, "Mom, is it okay if I (....)?" I love him so much..

@end3of6days9 👏Good job to all the moms and dads having these conversations with their kids. It can be thankless until they finally see what could have been if you not been doing your job. Someday, they will see what happens when parents don’t act like parents.

refreshing that there is STILL parents being parents & NOT a friend...well done, my dear

You should not have to talk about the money. The fact that you are her mother is all the reason you need.

Lots of people I see in the comments would have given in. Never give in. You do it once and it becomes expected. Her daughter won't try that again.

"My teenagers do not know the difference between asking for permission and running something past me." "Well, we already have tickets." "No. Your friend has tickets. You have a curfew. I don't think you'll be seeing a movie tonight." Yes. Perfect. Ah, kids these days... LOL (Or all days... Cuz I think this is a "kid" thing and not a "these days" thing. LOL)

How old is daughter? This could have been handled in a kinder way that wouldn’t cause resentment imo. Just rude.

My 25 year old daughter still asks for permission to buy stuff... with HER paycheck! This mother did the right thing by not bending.

That should have been her grandmother to match her age What is such an old granny doing with a teenage daughter

Not a parent, but this is what I would have done. I would have had a brief & serious conversation on who makes the rules under the household. Then I would have offered the solution of dropping off & picking up to & from the 10:30 show. 16-year-olds can't drive past 9 anyway.

The teens is the hardest age. It’s their job to push back against you as they prepare to leave the nest and it’s still your job to keep them safe. Thankfully, that phase only lasts a few years and they turn human again. -but when you’re in the thick of it, it’s very difficult.

"no your friend has tickets, you have a curfew" let me fix my wig chile

good job mom - too many others would have said ok - and 'I'll drive you'

She will look back and thank you when and if she ever has kids. Because my daughter told me that when her kids became teenagers

I ask my girls if I recently bought a horse when the sigh 😂 You would think I own Stables as often as I hear it 🤣

What is it with the eye glasses these days? It's like a contest of who has the biggest. They make women look like clowns. 🤓

You cannot reproach a child for playing by your rules because you FINANCE them, but because you are their parent, guardian, and mentor. I know this is not about money for her, but the child will conclude the situation like this: she decides because I live under her roof.

That's your fault.

$100 says she's a single mom.

What is this parent trying to teach her child?

the fuck is wrong with a 1030 movie

One of my daughters still has a chip on her shoulder because the rules were the rules.

What ridiculous glasses. I can't take that seriously.

Here’s some solid advice-don’t bat your eyes and act and sound so condescending when you tell her no or she will cut your throat when you’re sleeping. You read about kids offing their parents all the time.

Your daughter needs to seriously understand her place in your family and life or she will experience the harsh realities fairly quickly. Get your husband involved too and give her a serious case of reality…your choice…,

You had better park outside her window…

@j0ker937 Go mom ❤️

I guess I’m just lucky, my son is 20 a junior in college and he’s home for break now and said hey do yall mind if I go the movies with a friend🤷🏻‍♂️

She was doing fine until that statement of 'bankrolling'. An upbringing is not a financial transactional thing.

After reading many of the comments, I’m now understanding why America is having some of the problems we are having and the generation of individuals that are being raised up…is frightening !
