Anyone else worry about their grown daughters living at home out in the evening. (Only 9:30 at night but I still worry. She doesn't have a car. Takes a bus).
-
I don't have a daughter but I can understand the worry. Does she have pepper spray? It might ease your mind a little.
Also, if she has an iPhone (not sure about Androids), there is an app called "find my friends". She can turn on her location so you can see it if something does happen.

My daughter is 41 and I still worry. She will say, " Ma i'm an adult you dont have to worry" I say, I will worry about you kids till I take my last breath.

My girls are 20 and 25 and I always worry. The 25 ears old moved out on Mew Year's day, and i worry about her always call her if I see something wrong on the roads. My 20 years old still home with us, she usually stays home after work since she goes to College too and has a 2 1/2 years old daughter. But sometimes Friday or Saturday nights she either goes out with her friends or goes to Babysit, and does not get home til 2 3 in the morning and we cannot really fall in deep sleep until she gets home. I think is a mom or dad thing

My Son is 36 and a cop. I thank God every single night he walks through that door, talk about worry, I wish he would change his job :(.....please all pray he stays safe...thank you

My daughter does not live at home, she drives a good bit and I worry about her everyday.
-
both my daughters are out on their own..but i still worry about them all the time..will never change
-
Thank you everyone for your responses. I've got to try that one with find my friends app and suggest it to her (if she's not mad at me. She's mad at me right now. I don't like her deadbeat, mooching boyfriend).
-
No matter how old they are you still worry about them.
-
My girls are out of the house too. I still worry about them, I think it's a mom thing and you will always worry about them no matter how old they are.
-
I always worry about my kids, they are both grown and married with great spouses. But my son has to drive on a busy highway to get to work and my daughter has such a busy life shes always on the road too. I am so afraid when she tells me she has to go to an event (she is also an event planner) in the evening and have to drive home late at night.
-
I worry about both my daughters and son. They it is pain to text or call me everyday just to check in. But if I don't hear from them by a certain time I am reaching out them. I don't think a mom ever stops worrying about their children and they will know what we mean when it is their turn.
-
I think you all are right. Moms never stop worrying about their grown kids. When I hear something has happened to one of my grandchildren, I go all haywire upset until I find out that everything has turned out all right.
-
My daughter is married with 2 kids age 37. Still worry she never liv3d by herself. I would be worried this day and age who knows. When stories about college girls getting raped. I thought forget about classes or your dorm room. Girls need to carry guns learn self defence. Not playing

I think every parent still worries no matter what they're age

Also, if she has an iPhone (not sure about Androids), there is an app called "find my friends". She can turn on her location so you can see it if something does happen.
The "friends" can also track where you are all the time. Maybe the daughter doesn't want mommy to know where she is every minute of the day or evening.
I can understand being worried about anyone out alone in the world we live in today.

You're telling me!! My oldest son just turned 50 on Friday. My youngest will turn 48 in June. Both ride motorcycles and with all the accidents with motorcycles, especially cars not seeing them and running into them, I worry all the time. They both go to concerts in the cities and that worries me, too. It never quits.
-
I have GPS tracking on all my kids' on their phones... they know & couldn't care less. That generation is growing up not knowing privacy, which is sad. They also have at least one app on their phones, I think it is on SnapChat, that tells the location of all their friends who opt in, so they know where their friends are at. Just part of their life now.
Big Brother is always watching... it's 1984 & they've all agreed that it is fine when they opt on a new app.
-
It doesn't matter if it is daughters or sons. I don't have any daughters but I have two sons and just because they are grown or have a car or are girls vs, boys there is still a lot of evil out in the world and all I know to do is pray for them but it doesn't stop me from worrying about them.
-
My worries are pretty minimized with my soon-to-be twenty two year old daughter and twenty year old son. Both kids were brought up with excellent communication skills, common courtesy, responsibility and consideration for others. I have also taught them to avoid situations where there may be additional risk. When they are home on break (Spring, Winter and Summer) they will text if they are going to be out later than one or if they are staying at a friend's house. I pay for their Uber rides home, no matter where they are, without any questions asked (even though they share the information voluntarily). I did worry, briefly, about my daughter when she went to Vietnam until she let me know that she was meeting two of her male classmates (when she studied abroad/Singapore).

My daughter and son drives a lot for their jobs, so I worry a little but I pray for them everyday and adk God to protect them in the highway and by ways
-
I always worry. I even worried about my son. I don't sleep well until they walk in that door. And if they're staying out all night, they'd better tell me.
-
I have nieces & I can't imagine what I'd do if I was their mom. There still young now but 2 of them are in their early teens. They are literally blooming into women hood too scary for any parent.
-
I don't have a daughter or grown kids yet, but I see myself still worrying about them when they are grown. You don't stop being a parent when your kids grow up and as a parent, you know the dangers out there in the world.
-
I think you all are right. We never stop worrying. I worry about the older one too. She's 38, single, mother of 5 kids.
-
Young girls like to wonder early in the evening and sometimes at time.
I know it is risky...very risky. Just talk to them about personal safery.
-
Sometimes at night...instead sometimes at time.
Oops..typo error!
-
I still worry about my grown daughters and also my grandchildren. It doesn't matter what sex they are - if you are a mother, you worry. It's part of motherhood.
-
I never worried too much about my daughter when she went out. She can handle her self. I would worried about the other person.
-
I have to sons and I have a tracker on the youngest one that is 29 because he has a health condition. It comforts me to know I can get to him or send help if he's in distress. This has always been normal for me and I guess it always will be.
