Fireworks + Teenagers
I have an 18 year old daughter who works at a firework store with her best friend. Collectively they got $600 worth of fireworks as a gift from the owner.
When I got home from work she was thrilled to show me and continued to share that they planned to fire them off when we were gone over the 4th.
She doesn’t understand why I couldn’t just be happy for her (which I initially showed some interest) and I had to go right to concern and negativity.
Ugh. Feeling like I can’t win and also, am I crazy?! Is there any parent out there that would be excited about their 18 year old gathering friends for a firework show when you aren’t home?!
