Is it normal to ask your 23-yr old-very mature daughter not to open the door for anyone if you are home alone? That too living in america in a nice suburban area? :-s

Re: Overprotectiveness
well it depends, If your daughter is a higly skilled martial art kick-&ss kunfu girl power chick, then yes she s allowed to open. :D
If not, then I dont think she ll be to withstands two 300 pound blokes with a shotty and a danda.

Re: Overprotectiveness
barfee: lets just say, when stuff goes down, it doesnt matter how old u were or how SHORTER u were in harm’s way..
i’ve been nailed twice for carrying cellular phone in workplace or walking with phone on in parking lot ..
but on my routine checks once, 20 feet corporate electric sign, weighing about a ton, decided to let go of its clamps and fell 90+feet down on floor.. meanwhile i went out to grab a package
yeah sure in residential areas u wouldnt be seeing THAT scenario.. but whats the guarentee?
i live in an area which is still under contruction.. and during night times, when i come outta my room to go upstairs for food/water/bathroom, i still walk around with a cell..
if its not safety, then its reporting/quickly marking #s down whatever..
