My Daughter is Using My Boat as Her Love Shack — Mallory

I recently discovered my daughter has been using my boat to shack up with god knows who. They’re leaving wine bottles and vapes everywhere, and I see other “evidence”. What do I do? How do I handle this without sinking our relationship?

sorry mate, I didn’t know that was yer boat. :-/ All’s good, but she’s a wild one! Yeehaww!!!

Shut up Swanson! Mallory, he’s just yanking your chain. You should have a heart-to-heart talk with her. Try to find out if she’s on the wrong track. It sounds like there could be some risky behavior, and you don’t want to be too nosie, but do a good check-in. Maybe set a “no overnight guests without permission” rule. If it really bothers you that she’s using your boat, offer to buy her one of her own…

Silk skirt whips in the wind,
she laughs at the cliff’s sharp edge—
stormlight in her eyes.

The hell?
