Dear Fonseca,

My daughter has asked me to rent her a hotel room for prom. I trust her, but not always her friends and boyfriend. If I don't rent her the room, there's a good chance she and her friends could be driving around the whole night or going to someone's home for a party. I'm sure underage drinking will be involved. If I do rent the room at the hotel I will know where she is. This also increases the chances that something may happen between her and her boyfriend. What would you do if you were me? Rent the room or not? Which is better?
