Default teenager breaking curfew

Tony wrote in

G'morning.

I just joined this group looking for some advice. My
ex-wife & I have joint custody of my teenage daughter who
just turned 18 this past week. Sometime last fall, she
broke curfew at my place & I punished her accordingly. Now
she's broken curfew at her mom's. My ex-wife wants to
punish my daughter & wishes that I 'match' the same
punishment at my place. Basically, to be on the same page.
I disagree. I don't have as many problems with my daughter
as does my ex-wife.

Advice?


she's an adult. if all she did was break curfew, i suspect
you are lucky.
i also suspect that should your ex-wife try to land like a
box of bricks on your daughter, she's going to lose all her
respect. who gives an 18 year old a curfew anyway? i had a
curfew (9pm) until i went to college(age 17). after that my
parents weren't trying to micromanage my life. i was expected
to act my age.
