The post before yours, really, really? If you and Tiffany are confident in your parenting, which is your business, none of my business either and it should stay that way. I hope she had a great time and enjoyed her time.

We trust her, and have her on life 360🤣. She's had a blast though, just called and said they're leaving.

Joe, it's none of my business how you go about doing things, but I would never let them go unescorted.
A person can handle temptation if there's no opportunity, and opportunity if there's no temptation. But if you let opportunity and temptation meet and your asking for trouble! Accountability is a wonderful thing!!!

Let Joe parent his own kids...

Believe me I had to employ this

when I read that crap. I hope it or me didn’t ruin it for Joe for tonight. Seeing them going off on their first prom, date, etc, is a big deal as a parent.

Nothing like a judgmental preacher to try to put their two cents where it doesn't belong. Preachers need to worry about why their daughters are usually the biggest sluts in HS instead of telling other people how to parent their kids...

Best friends might not be the best escorts, but to each his own.... I really worry for our young people these days. God bless you my brother, I'll hush and mind my own business now....😁

Friendly advice, and besides, Joe will do what Joe wants to do. It's his babies and he has the right to do with them as he pleases.
It's good to take as many precautions as you can, that's all.... Anyhow have a nice life!

The last part, you should have from the beginning and I’ll follow suit.

What I said was sound advice and would keep many young people out of trouble if they would heed to it. Nobody has to do like me, it's a free country....
If you don't like my advice, that's fine with me. But I meant no harm no matter what you think.....

You haven't learned your lesson yet. When you tell parents you wouldn't do something multiple times, you aren't providing friendly advice, you are judging them and their parenting skills. Several of us are saying the same thing.

Joe's daughter is soon going to go off to college. She makes good grades and is good athlete. I will trust what Joe and Tiffany are doing more than some judgmental "friendly advice"

Are you judging me?

I would have died of embarrassment if my parents had “escorted” my date and me to our prom. We had chaperones hanging off the palm trees. I had never given them any reason to worry about me. And if a teen is determined to get up to something, they will absolutely find a way to do so.

Something like this “escorting” thing is a clear signal that you don’t trust your kid.

At some point - and this is one of them - you have to decide that you’ve done your best as a parent, and that your time of directly controlling their every move is over. If you don’t start to step back at times like this, how will your kid learn to think for herself/ himself?

Children of helicopter parents have a terrible time learning to be responsible for their own selves.
