[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What am I not getting here?.... What does partying too hard have to do with having a car on campus? Are you saying that she had poor judgment (possibly or possibly she was just roofied) in this one situation and therefore would have poor judgment about having and using her own car? Like, she wouldn't know when Not to take the car to a party, or wouldn't leave the car at the party if she partied hard and opt for an uber back to her campus?

My DD would have called me immediately if she landed in the ER. And if she wasn't coherent, her 2 besties and or her bf would have called. They know it's safe enough, they've reached out in the past, not for an ER visit but when they were worried about her.

You can be angry and intolerant all you want OP, but if this situation were to happen again, (or god forbid, worse) what would you want your DD to feel capable of doing? Personally, I'd want my child to [b]know they can reach out[/b], as opposed to feeling like they have to hide anything from me. And I'd work on getting that message across as opposed to the take down, shut down approach you are taking.

But I believe what OP is upset about - and I would be as well - is that this incident with their DD did not just happen. It happened THREE WEEKS ago! OP's kid had three weeks to "reach out" about the situation but did not. In fact, the kid never initiated a conversation and let her parent find out via a surprise hospital bill. That is the part that would most upset me for it screams of a disconnect between them. [/quote]
