Mother’s decision to let 14-year-old daughter go on date sparks family feud

A mother’s decision to let her 14-year-old daughter go on a date with a boy from her class has sparked a feud with her older sister. The woman’s sister, who has two teenagers of her own, accused her of being a terrible mother for not setting boundaries and allowing her daughter to ‘walk all over her’. The argument escalated when the mother pointed out that her sister’s overbearing parenting style was the primary reason for her messy divorce and that her own daughter was more open with her than most kids are with their parents. The incident has left the mother wondering if she crossed the line with her sister. What do you think?
