am i wrong about this?

I also disagree. Even if your daughter is reliable and trustworthy....there are a lot of crazy people in this world and there has been more than one girl go missing from shopping malls. She might think I'm unreasonable, but I'd rather have her alive and safe than risk it.

Each person is an individual. You have to ask yourself, can you trust her, have you given her good morals and standard to live by. Does she know what to do in uncomfortable or dangerous situation?! If you can answer yes to these questions, I don't see why not. It is a hard thing to let our children go, but, that is all a part of growing up for them. We as parents have to realize that and of course, we will always worry about our children no matter how old they are. Ease up a bit and try not to worry toooo much. I know, it's easier said than done but, what else can you do?! Oh, and by the way, most malls have security guards that walk the mall. Just let her know that you trust her and if she needs you that your there for her. Good Luck

No. Absolutely not.

Compromise.

She can work at the mall. Outside. No problem. But when her shift is over??

DADDY or MOMMY comes to get her.

If you can't trust your WIFE to pick her up when you're not available? Then the daughter can't work there.

You need to get your wife to SWEAR to you in writing if necessary that SHE will pick her up after work and NOT let a child, in the 21st century, where NOBODY is safe, hang out all alone, outdoors at the mall, till late at night.

Either you guys come get her after shift, or she don't work.

What IS wrong with this. There are plently of people at the mall and she's 17!! when people are 17 is when they gain their independence and stop being a little girl. besides... she will be around stores and people that work in them... if something does wrong, everyone will know. If you let her, it will show your sign of trust, not you sign of unprotection. she is protected.
