I think that might be mom's personal problem, not a problem of this "day and age" in general. Heck, it could be that daughter has had numerous - what shall I call them? - assignations - and mom just has no clue because they didn't come to the house, give her a corsage and bring her home at midnight.

The above is another reason that it's better for the kids to ask questions, rather than the parents.
