  • hhmm Im not really sure what you mean by this question to be honest.
    Firstly … im not sure why you feel you need to ask if you should get a job in the town where your daughter lives or not. And why does she think you should work in the town she lives in?? I feel like this question is missing information.

    I guess I would say that you are an adult and you can decide where you would like to get a job and work. If you want a job that happens to be in the town she lives in then go for it. If its too far to travel or for some other reason then dont. Get a job where it suits you best.

    Not sure what you mean about boundaries either. If you are working in the town that she lives in then you are working there. If you feel that she is going to be calling into your place of work constantly then perhaps its best not to take a job there in the first place so you dont have to deal with that.


  • Are you talking about maybe moving there for work? Is the town in distant from you?
    If you are worried about boundaries just talk about it beforehand. While discussing if you should apply or not tell her what you are worried about. You just need to be upfront about it.


  • What is your relationship with your daughter and what boundaries do you think could be crossed ?
