Q: Teenage And Adult Daughter
asked by: katie2020 on January 14th, 2006

A parent has a 19 year old daughter and a 14 year old daughter. The parent constantly worries about the 19 year old and barely worries about the 14 year old because she believe that the 14 year old knows what she is doing, strong, mature, independent and responsible and the 19 year old is fragile, naive, immature, and dependent. While growing up, the parent never really worry about the 14 year old and always worry about the 19 year old. It is normal for parents to give care to the child when they need it, but they have to understand that bwtween an adult and teenager, they have to worry about the teenager more. There is a lot about teenagers that parents need to be aware of, peer pressure, etc. When you are a child, parents need to worry about it. When you are over 18 you are expected to think for yourself, whether you are mature or not. Right??? So why are these parents treating the 19 year old like a 10 year old, and treating the 14 year old like a 30 year old??? I don't understand.

I would ask more about the 19 year old. How does she act, does she make good decisions that make sense in the adult world? Was the 19 y/o abused at some point? There may be some reason that the parents know and no one else knows.

You are correct, a 14 y/o should be under close watch because she will end up in so much more trouble than the parents can ever imagine.

Children left to patrol themselves are destined for big issues and they are not normally good.
