Would you let your daughter..

Question

My favorite band is going on tour again, but they aren't playing in my state. They're playing in two places close to me though, each about 25-50 miles away from where I live. My mom didn't let me go to their show when they played here in May, and she said that I could go the next time they play. The concert is in November and the only problem is transportation, I live on a island, so one place you would have to cross the sound, but the other place is closer but it's a bad area. I told her I would pay for my ticket, and I'm going with a friend. Also, she didn't let me go to Bamboozle, they played there too. And I had to miss Warped Tour for a wedding, and my other favorite band played there. Don't you think she owes me!

So, my question is, if I was your daughter, would you let me go to the show?

And, which one would you take me too.

Oh, I'm fourteen, in case helps...

Answer 1

If my daughter was fourteen (only 13 1/2 years to go), then i can't see why not. They onlt rule would be that i would have to drop you off and pick you up at arranged times. No need to be sat outside waiting, but if it's past your normal hour of being out then i wouldn't consider it safe (if you get what you mean) so i would pick you up in time so you aren't just hanging about. Don't want your old dad embarrassing you!!

Answer 2

No.

Parents are there for all the reasons you are well aware of.

Today's world is too crazy to just let our kids run loose.

Too much trouble and violence, because SOME parents don't give a care about what their kids are out doing.

I'd like to see my 2 grow up....not buried!!

Answer 3

It's natural for parent's to worry and for children to think there all grown up at 14. A lot of bad things happen these days and No I wouldn't let you go, but then I'd maybe go with you and stay overnight I'd go see someone or shopping while you're at the concert, in other words I'd compromise and help you grow and mature.

Answer 4

the question was, if i were your daughter would you let me go to the show.

NO NO NO!!!

aren't' you glad your not my daughter.  guess your mom sounds pretty good right now, don't she.

Answer 5

depends, i probabl would let my daugther go to the consert with a friend, and someone older like a cousin or something (no one want mom or dad along to babysit, an older cousin is cool though as guardian), a lot of stuff can happen at such things, but if the consert was open to teens then yes, but i'd make sure they had someone responsible with them who was at least 20 years old and could watch over them...without being parenting and uncool ;)

Answer 6

If it was my daughter i would defo take her and if i lived anywhere near you i would take you too. it sucks missing out on gigs. i hope she changes her mind

Answer 7

There's plenty more shows when your older sweety.

Your mama is just looking out for you.

xx xx xx

Answer 8

She should totally let you go! You're not 10. Sit her down and talk to her. If you are going to pay for your own ticket and you already have transportation there.. I don't see why she wouldn't let you go. She shouldn't worry about you unless you have given her sound reason not to. I'm assuming you are a responsible 14 year old... so just sit her down and talk to her in a mature manner. That is the only way to accomplish this feat. Good luck tho..

I went to warped tour once, it was funnnn. Hope you can go!

Answer 9

First of all, your Mother owes you nothing. She is the one who is responsible for you, so she must decide what is in your best interest.

Secondly, I would never allow my fourteen year old to go to a concert like you mention without an adult chaperon. You have plenty of time to go to lots of concerts. But you're a bit young for this. Give it some time, you'll get there.

Answer 10

Being fourteen is tough, the only thing tougher is being a mother of a fourteen year old. I remember being fourteen and wondering why my mum was such a kill-joy, how could she know so little about joy, freedom and fun! Why was she so obsessed with those non-existent risks? Well now I know. I would let you go BUT I would take you there and pick you up afterwards AT THE DOOR, no ifs buts or maybes. Your mum loves you, you are lucky. I know you are rolling your eyes but that's what I would do because I love my children too much to risk their safety for their approval.
