My 14 yr old has the same rule, everything is off at 10 on school nites. Later on Fri/Sat, depending on what is going on.
So if I were you, I’d stick to the mean 10 rule during the week. My DC is pretty accepting of it at this point…so the complaints will eventually lessen when they understand it is a just a hard stop in your household. Now I just hear complaining/negotiating on Fri /Sat, lol.
Agree. I set the rule early on and my teens are pretty accepting of it right now. However, we do phone down at 9 pm & bedtime 10pm on school nights. I have a Freshman and a Junior.
