Why are 18-year-old daughters impossible? How do you manage to keep them in check? Single parents especially, but all welcome.

We’ve discussed this before, but it begs further discussion I feel. In any case, I need to get some other perspectives on how to raise a teenage daughter single-handedly (pretty much).

How do you find the balance between giving them independance and not being scared shitless all the time and worried sick?

She wants a tattoo, what do you do?

She needs to update her shoe collection constantly.

She talks back, and worse, criticizes me constantly – sometimes openly.

I do love the mutt, though.
