Dear Queenie,
Our daughter is living at home while she attends university and this is fine with us except for the fact that she spends a couple of nights a week with her boyfriend at his house. She is an adult (over 18) so we haven’t said anything to her about it, but among other things we don’t like the example it sets for her younger sisters and we are afraid if we do say anything she will just move in with him.
Queenie, should we ask her not to spend the whole night with him or would it just make her move in with him entirely?—Worried parents
Dear Parents,
You should talk to your daughter about your concerns, in general the example she is setting for her sisters and especially the possibility of her getting pregnant. Make sure she realises the adverse effects such an event would have on her future in university and beyond.
