I have a 17 year old daughter. In a teens eyes - it can so often be "just about them". Their world is small and it's nearly impossible for them to see the larger picture. Emotions don't last, their future does.

Bounderies and guidelines as you are drawing out are healthy. She will thank you someday for you doing this.

Deep breath!!! That's what I have to remind myself to do.
