[quote=Anonymous]Well, let's hope this will be your child's only idiotic decision, OP. If it is, you can all laugh about it years from now. What matters is that she's SAFE. Is the other house in a safe neighborhood? Are they planning on having parties, will she be careful with drugs, drinking and driving? I think having a conversation from a point of view of concern for her safety will go down much better than a conversation of "I'm the parent and I make the rules", which on its face is unfair and irrational. And then you discuss money. Where will it come from? Your support for bad decisions will obviously not be generous. Will she need a car and whose it is? If you think she can be a responsible person who will keep herself safe, maybe you can authorize use of the car, pocket money, etc. And sell that as a privilege you can take away if she does not communicate with you regularly while she lives elsewhere.
