But wait...Didn't she say her daughter has a 'friend' who is a boy, and not a 'boyfriend,' if you've taught your daughter through her life to respect herself, and she's not running around in make-up and clothes that make her look 18, I don't really see the problem. Is there no such thing as friendship between sexes? Your husband doesn't want boys calling her at home? Does this include boys calling with homework assignments, does it include her male cousins? I consider your husband's attitude fairly self-defeating. Teens don't want to be controlled, and if they feel they are being controlled unjustly, then they just go ahead and do what they want. Does your husband explain why he feels this way, or does he just forbid it? If its the latter, here comes trouble. By the way, many fathers freak out when their daughters hit puberty. Jealousy, desire not to see time pass so quickly, and other murky human emotions come to a boil... If her dad doesn't feel like she loves him, maybe that's why he's being this way. Of course, kids don't say they love their parents, and unfortunately, a lot of parents don't let their kids know either. If the father-daughter relationship were better, maybe this wouldn't be an issue.
