Should I allow my daughter to visit her mother in jail?
Question Posted Monday April 22 2013, 9:58 pm
her mother is going to jail for one year for forgery related charges. I am wondering if I should take me 14 year old daughter to visit her but I am not sure if I want her to be inside a jail
it has nothing really to do with the mother. She made some bad decisions but it was out of character so I think she just got herself into a bad situation and make some poor decisions, She also never did anything bad at all before this. Also, her mother is showing regret and no defense at what she did and has admitted to being a bad influence to her daughter so that is why I am still willing to stick by her. And I am not defending her or saying she should not serve her punishment or anything either, it is really only the type of environment. I hear also it is a hassle to get in and you don't even get much time to speak. My daughter seems to be OK with visiting though she said it is kind of cool that her mother is locked up and is now the one being ordered around by others. I asked what she meant and she said she was just joking. Nothing wrong with that I would say. If I decide to bring her what should I say to her beforehand?
I have no kids nor any kind of experience with kids and/or parenting. The only impression I had from reading your question is that if her mother is remorseful then I would think it is good to not distance her from her daughter.
Again, I apologise but I truly have no clue as to the rest and I would rather admit that than give you a bs reply.
