Single parenthood taught me many things, and I needed allies, but not at the expense of "Oh, sure you can get the "motorcycle"... or....Oh, of course you can have a sleep over at your boyfriend parents house....NO, I was an asshole. If they were not at the house they were to be at, and I called, guess who showed up knocking on the door....A sail in the bay with life jackets and under the watchful eye of ten yacht club sailors, Maybe!!!
The parents are responsible for her welfare up to the point she is self-efficient; 18 I'm not convinced that 18 years of age equates with the ability to discriminate outcomes.
