25, I'm going to have to disagree with you. This isn't about control it's about establishing boundaries.
Fact is that the W took his D to an outdoor concert (so calls wouldn't have mattered) and brought her back at 2 in the morning, 3 hours after she was supposed to be brought back. She should have at least called as a courtesy, after all she was on the road for 3 hours.
And besides, what 8 year old hangs out with concert people and then comes back at 2 in the morning? He was worried and left her messages which she didn't have the courtesy to return.
Sorry it just seems like it's total cake eating.
