Teenage “sleepovers”

Would you let your 17-year-old daughter spend the night at her 19-year-old boyfriend’s house — a boyfriend she’s only been dating for three weeks?When my daughter asked, I told her no. Absolutely not.Now, in her eyes, I’m the villain.I get it — she’s hurt, frustrated, and sees this as me not trusting her. But in my mind, it’s not about trust — it’s about setting a boundary that makes sense for where she’s at right now.Being the "bad guy" comes with the territory of parenting sometimes, and while it doesn’t feel good, I know standing firm in my values matters more than being popular in the moment.Still, part of me wonders: where do we draw the line between protecting and letting go?Have you ever been labeled "the bad guy" while doing what you believed was right?
