(11,304 posts)is hanging around with. You know when I was a teen visiting my relatives in Italy I use to have to go with my cousin and her fiancee where ever they went. They were never allowed to be alone until they got married. That use to drive me crazy. Then I was never allowed to spend the night at my girlfriends house. Once I hit 14 I begged my dad to let me spend the night at a friends house who was having a birthday party. Well my dad called the parents talked to them and asked how many girls were going to be there and were there any boys coming. When he got a satisfied answer he drove me over and went to the door with me and talked with the parents again. In the morning he came and picked me up. I know my dad a strict on us but he was a loving dad and always worried about us. Now looking back I don't think it was a bad idea. He always we take us to the movies and the other parents would pick us up and bring us home. Maybe especially with our girls we need to tighten that rope a little better. My dad would say it's not that I don't trust you but it's what the guy is going to do I don't trust. He'd say a guy can't come on pregnant. I couldn't argue with that. We parents try our hardest and still kids fall through the cracks. You will get through this because you have no other choice. God be with you and your daughter.
