IMVHO, in that message, Dad is abdicating his responsibility as a protector of his daughter. As long as my daughter is ok with it, go for it, is how I read it. That is a piece of flesh. I have a 16 year old. You better believe I will be asking the when, where and with who questions. And the answer might be no. And dad and I actually would like to speak with the young man who is coming over. I hope that this will give her the sense of protection and worth and empowerment she needs to be able to speak her mind when the time comes.
