“if you tell her she can come home just because she’s lonesome, then how is she going to grow up to be a strong individual, to stand on her own two feet as you know she will have to in this life? If you let her come home, how is she ever going to understand that she has to commit herself to fulfilling the responsibilities she’s taken on? She needs to grow up.”
