Am I the a-hole for telling my daughter she

0:02

can't go to America? America is the land of

0:04

the free, home of the brave. Give

0:07

us your huddled masses and your Reddit

0:09

children. And your daughter? Yeah. This comes

0:12

from mysteriousjumper73 who says, my

0:14

male 50 daughter, female 17, recently

0:17

bought herself a plane ticket from

0:19

the UK to Los Angeles. Ooh,

0:22

ooh. She did not ask for permission and bought

0:24

the tickets and is now stating that she's going

0:26

whether I allow her to or not. Can

0:29

you at 17? Is that allowed? I mean.

0:31

I guess so. Yeah. Good question. Sophia, maybe

0:34

let us know. What? Can you

0:37

buy and fly yourself at 17? Yeah,

0:40

I did. I flew alone at 16. Without

0:42

a... Which a McCartigan? Yeah,

0:45

I went to Australia by myself at 16. Okay. Yeah,

0:47

there you go. Proven. She bought the ticket

0:50

a week ago and only tried talking to

0:52

me about it three days ago. Classic teen

0:54

behavior. She does not have a clear plan

0:56

of whom she's staying with or what she's

0:58

doing whilst she's there. She stated that her

1:00

reasons for not asking me is because she'd

1:02

already asked her mother, we are divorced, and

1:04

my daughter moved in with me four months

1:06

ago. She thought that she did not have

1:08

to get my permission as she thought her

1:11

mother's was enough and that I scare her.

1:13

While I'm open to the idea that I

1:15

may scare her, I'm open to

1:17

this concept that I might terrify her. I

1:19

find it harder to believe that when she

1:22

went ahead and bought these tickets regardless,

1:24

she lied to me and I feel like

1:26

I've been manipulated into this as her mother

1:28

has said she can go despite neither of

1:30

us giving her permission for her to buy

1:33

tickets for six weeks time. My concerns

1:35

are that she's 17 and never left the

1:37

country on her own. She's never been to

1:39

the States and she doesn't know what TSA

1:42

can be like. I love how the dad's

1:44

like, you don't know the whores. TSA.

1:47

TSA. Take your

1:49

shoes off. Take your belt off. Computers

1:51

out of the bag. She's previously struggled

1:53

with major anxiety to the point where

1:55

she's found it difficult to get to

1:57

the underground in the UK. Ryan
