If your teenage daughter were to sleep in the backyard cabin at night how would you feel as a parent?

If your teenage daughter were to sleep in your backyard garden shed/treehouse would you come by and make sure the door was closed and lights were out?

A teenage girl I know wants to sleep in her parents garden shed/garage on some weekends? Her mother wants to make sure the door is closed and lights are out for her safety. The garage/garden shed is a seperate building from the house. The girl enjoys this place as indendance. Even though her parents worry about her for her safety she doesn't like the idea that her mother comes by at night to close the door to the outside and turn out the lights. Even though her mother locks the building door the girl can still open and unlock the door.

This girl is only 15 years old. Should she still continue to enjoy this garage/garden shed or give up?

The girls garden shed door only opens to the outside. In order for her to get to the main house she has to open the door and walk outside through the backyard.

This girl enjoys this little place

sounds like a great place for her to get drunk, have boys over for sex , do drugs etc. ....



so NO WAY would i let her sleep out there
Reply:I don't have a problem with you and your friend sleeping out. I think 15 years old is o.k. The only thing I do have a problem with the mother locking the door at night. What would happen if there is a fire in or near the shed and you're locked in? If you want to lock the door, buy a lock and install it inside so it can be opened from the inside. Good Luck!
Reply:she's exploring her independence. Maybe she's practicing shabbat. idk? i would monitor her behavior and look out for warning signs that she is disconnecting with the world. it may be a cry for help and it may just be she likes the crickets. either way it is your duty as her mother to talk with her and to protect her.
