She's growing up. Nearly 16 years old now. She asked if she could join her cousin to a school dance last night. Her cousin was born the day after her and they get along real well. He's gone out before and so has our daughter. Not every week, not even every month, but she's a sensible girl and we trust her. So yes, we are happy for her that she can go out every now and then. She's a teenager after all and going out is part of her youth. It's good for her, for she can practise in being assertive and setting boundaries. She has to learn to make decisions and being selective in the friends she hangs out with.
I drove her to her cousins house by 6 PM. They were going to meet up before the dance and have dinner together. What a great idea! The party didn't start till 9 PM and I told her I was going to pick her and a friend up at 1 AM. I'm sure she wanted to stay a little longer, but that was the deal. No alcohol was the other agreement. Going out comes with rules and our daughter knows that we are serious about the rules. It's up to her, but I know she won't break the rules. I'm pretty confident. She won't betray the trust.. and she didn't.
