[quote=Anonymous]I think you are being very judgmental.  You have no idea what the family dynamic or relationship is.  I had a father that lived an hr away too.  In high school, I saw him way way less.  Even though the custodial agreement was every other weekend and holiday and 6 weeks in summer.  I had my friends, sports, activities and I didn’t want to miss out on those things.  I had a great relationship with and he understood this and left it up to me in high school, for when I wanted to come over.  I imagine there is also a hard social pull for the gf to stay close to home right now too- it doesn’t mean her father is uninvolved or a poor father.

I also think it is inappropriate she is over your house so much late in the evening on school nights.  While yes she is also at an adult, she is a high school student. Doesn’t she have sports, homework, a job, other things she needs to do during the week? My kids do and can’t hang out at friends’ houses several afternoons per week until 9:30+ But that isn’t your problem, that’s on her parents.

As for the dad coming over.  I would assume a stipulation to her owning and having a cell phone payed for is that she keeps tracking on.  They have likely discussed this.  If that was the expectation and she knew it, yet decided to turn it off for days and not respond, then yes- I don’t think dad looking for her is out of line. Maybe her mom wouldn’t answer, maybe dad and mom don’t have a cordial relationship, maybe mom didn’t know where she was or why tracking was off...you don’t know.  So stop judging
