For me the issue with my 15 year old daughter, is where is she going.

She has 4 nice friends. However none of them have anywhere to go or to do in the evenings.
I am constantly trying to get my daughter to develope interests that she can go to in the evenings, and I will make sure she gets there and back.

Unfortunately, all I get is "can I go out with my friends" in the evenings.
I ask "where are you going to"
Answer "To the park" or "on a bench in the town"
To which I say "No"
But say "that if they have somewhere to go like one of their houses or a club or sporting activity with supervision, then that is OK."

I am totally against kids hanging aimlessly on a street corner. To me, thats where half the troubles begin, becuase the parents have no idea of what they are up to.

On the weekends, they go off during the day into Lincoln on their own or Cleethorpes "Swimming" "Pleasuer Island" etc. The same in the holidays.

For me, its all about what they do in the evenings. Aimless persuits outdoors is not on for me.

I have to say she is very understanding and doesn't argue, which is great.

Am I being too strict or not?
