[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she’s over 18 she’s an adult so there is that you have really no say.

1.No
2. Yes, if she’s living with you how can she date someone you have never met? She can but it would be strange.
3. Over 18 you have no say.
4. Curfew if she’s a high school senior living in your house then she should be respectful of your rules. Obviously a reasonable curfew time like midnight on weekends. If she broke curfew then yes take car if she was driving, but don’t ground completely as she will run towards him.

I’d be more concerned about the not knowing this person at all, what are they hiding.

Either way if she’s 18 you can impose tons of rules but she will push you away.

Try a calm sit down asking to meet the person and get to know them. If you don’t end up liking them bite your tongue, because she needs to figure this out. It stinks but it’s as old as time. You won’t break them up.

This is super hard and no easy answers .

OP here. Ugh, yes, this is so freaking hard. We don't know the person because she met him on a dating app (she lied to us at first, but it all came out later) and he didn't come to the door on first date. We did meet him later but he sat quietly saying 'yes' and 'no,' etc. He's also much older (24). She has broken curfew twice now.

I'm at a loss. [b]DH wants to throw her out.[/b] I want harmony and to work with her on this. [/quote]

He wants to throw out his daughter, who is in high school, for staying out after her curfew twice?

I'm sorry, OP.

Keep a discreet but watchful eye, communicate as much as possible, don't drive her away, don't try to drive him away, let her figure it out.

By any chance, are you and/or your husband immigrants to the US?[/quote]
