As many of you know I have 2 daughters 8 and 12. The 12 yr old was talking about going to the movies for several days and it kept changing - as to who was going. I was against her going if boys were going to be there - too much like a 'date' situation. It's not that I don't trust her or feel confident about her taking care of herself - we just don't feel comfortable with her being 12 and boys being involved. She was supposed to be going at 4 today and when we finally found out who was going, it was revealed 2 boys were also going. So I canceled the whole thing and she became very upset. I feel so aggravated at this moment, yet I feel I did the right thing. I don't think I'm being too strict, but why do I feel so awful. I remember making some bad judgments when I was 14 but at the time I thought they were good ones. I need help with these feelings.
