Curfew for 17 year olds

[Anonymous]

I would say 11:30 weekends, unless it’s a planned event that would justify a later time

We don't have a set time, it depends on when he is scheduled to work the next day. I get that he's almost an adult, but I don't want to deal with the drama of his alarm going off for an hour and then him scrambling to find his work clothing and equipment the next day while he is still living in m house, as it affects the whole household.

We don't have a set curfew either, we decided based on the plans, what's happening the next day, etc., but never past midnight since that's the cut-off for their provisional license.

My kid has no interest in driving. She takes public transportation everywhere because that's what you do in the city. Only 2 of her friends drive, and not with other kids in the car. (Am I the ONLY actual DC resident on here??) So all these answers about the provisional license etc don't work for us.

We do case-by-case. If she's taking public transportation, I need her back by 9-10pm. If she's catching a ride, meh, whenever.

10 to 11 . Some exceptions for later

My 16 year old tells me where she is going and suggests a "head home by" time, and 95%+ of the time I agree to that time. 11pm is probably the most common "head home by" time, but it varies by event.

We use a head home by time instead of a curfew because I don't want her feeling rushed on the drive home to make curfew.

11 if driving, 12 if at friend’s near us.
