Cindy,
Thanks. I did think about grounding her to that extent. But I knew it would backfire on me. Thanks for the advice about mother daughter date. You are right, I should let her tell me, she will feel so guilty. I gave her money today to go to a concert on Tuesday, sent her a text that said "I put $40 in your account. Thanks for being a wonderful daughter whom I can trust to make the right decisions." Hopefully, some day, she too will be a wonderful 23-year old...
