Guidance anyone?

According to my daughter, online articles are wrong
So
I’m asking here
What limits and rules would you put on your 16 year old daughter’s dating ?
( I think I’m going to loose all my hair and half of my remaining life expectancy by the time she is 21 😩)

You were once her age.....

@hippyjoe1955
Yes
But I grew up in a strict family in a religiously governed country
Nothing was allowed so no rules were needed 😬

@Niloo So what do you allow that your parents didn't?

@hippyjoe1955
I don’t allow closed doors and being completely alone
I do believe I raised her well but she is a teenager after all . I believe it will take some time for a teenage brain to completely develops and till then I should watch over her .

@Niloo Yes teen age is a difficult time for the teenager and the parents. I do think that the parents of girls have a tougher time that parents of boys having raised both.

@Niloo Thank you. I heard from both daughters today. Parenting doesn't stop when the kids turn 20!

Don’t get me wrong, I would not trade raising my children for the world !
Even at those times that I’m pulling my hair out 😬
