Many parents have disagreements with their teens. Moms are usually the ones who set rules about curfews, sleepovers, and dating, so they have to bear the brunt of the arguments. One UK study even showed that one in four children aged 16-21 fights with their mothers more than once a week.
This mother wasn’t like that, since she trusted her 18- and 19-year-olds to make smart decisions. However, she got a call from her daughter’s boyfriend’s mother, accusing her of being too lax and demanding that she forbid her son from visiting. The more the women talked, the clearer it became that the woman was dealing with something troublesome at home.
