Keys for children?
Comments

We spent a night in a hotel near Ironbridge last night and my wife phoned our 14yrs old daughter and she was in our house getting a shower..We went ballistic and asked her who she got the key off..
My dad had given her the key and had told her to give it back when she was due to see him today..(is he thick?)
The wife and i nearly had a heart attack and told him to go and get the key back and we told my daughter to go to her friends house where she should of been in the first place...
It put a bit of a dampener of the evening as my wife could not settle until our oldest went around at 9pm to ensure my 14yrs old had not run rings around my dad and deceived him.
Or not over-protective?
Why go ballistic? What might happen?0 -

How about burn the house down because her straighteners have not been switched off yet again..
Or how about invite a few friends around and word gets out and you suddenly have 50 kids at the door...
Or just the fact that it is our house and when we are away her older sister stays at our house or she stays at her friends...They are the rules at this moment...Simple..It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -

Sounds like your safety is more at risk than your daughter then if such an event is such a health hazard for you and your wife.
That made me laugh...I always worry that I leave mine on when I go. Thankfully, my 13 yo is home alone before going to school so I text her and ask to check!!How about burn the house down because her straighteners have not been switched off yet again..
mmmm, she opens the door and say, what are you doing here, nothing is going on, you got it wrong, bye, see you later?Or how about invite a few friends around and word gets out and you suddenly have 50 kids at the door...
How about making new rules, such as she can't use her straighteners when home alone, or anything else you don't want her to do at home?They are the rules at this moment.
Honestly, I am speechless that a 14yo would be treated with so little trust, assuming she doesn't have learning difficulties.0
