[quote=Anonymous]DD is going to be sixteen in September and a junior in high school.  She is #1 in her class now in a very competitive private school and does on pointe ballet every day after school for two-three hours and four hours on Saturday.  She is seemingly very mature for her age (perhaps due to the fact that her Dad passed away when she was six) and has never really screwed up.  I trust her.  For example, when she asked to stay home from school one day (when she said she wouldn't miss anything important) to finish her term paper I let her and she did finish her term paper.  She hasn't had a curfew, per se, as she generally tells me how long the event would last and when she would be home.  Maybe once or twice she was out later than I would have liked but it was for things like a prom or star-gazing.  I like all of her friends that I have met.  She is already on the pill for medical reasons.

I am always available to talk and guide her.  However beyond that, I really don't think I need to impose any rules on her now or when she starts to drive.

Am I nuts?  Of course I will step in if I see her going off the rails in anyway but until then...  [/quote]
