[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has a job and doesn’t live with them and they want to set cell phone limits for her?! No. I agree with her. [b]Will they get to control her when she’s 19? 22? 30?[/b] [/quote]

OP here. That depends on how she acts.[/quote]

No. It doesn’t. And it’s clear from your repeated hardheaded responses that it’s your adult child and not your niece, so drop the charade.[/quote]

OP here. This 100% is my niece and I am close to my sister.[/quote]

What sorts of restrictions, and why is your sister so opposed to the Myrtle Beach trip? Is there a drugs issue? A boyfriend or girlfriend they don't approve of? Is your niece in college or living on her own?

At that age I think actually she's right, that her parents can have influence but not control if they aren't actually supporting her. There's really no leverage otherwise. They don't have the legal right to tell her what to do, and if they aren't paying for her phone or apartment or whatever, there's nothing to withhold if she doesn't comply. Except their love and approval, I guess.[/quote]
