[b]My senior will have no curfew[/b] and very little interference from me.  [/quote]

I found something terribly wrong for you.[/quote]

OH please. Honestly, there's only so late anything is even open for them to be out doing. They'll either come home or go to a friend's house for the night by midnight. [/quote]

Agreed. My parents never gave me a curfew but I was always home by 11. or 11.30 at the latest. The Burbs are not that wild that much goes on beyond midnight![/quote]

So you are fine with them staying out all night?[/quote]

Different poster, but have raised a few teens with my youngest two kids still to go. Yes, I'm fine with that provided that no illegal or seriously problematic behavior is going on, and no major issues arise as a result. If my 16+ year old teen has demonstrated responsibility by making choices that enable them to meet all of their obligations and stay out of trouble I'm fine with them making their own choices in basically any matter that doesn't inconvenience someone else.

If the kids stay out all night but still make it to school on time, do their work and behave, contribute to their after school activities, have time for their job, get any family obligations handled well and on time, and are in a civil mood -- Sure, I'm fine with that. There's no reason not to be because that choice isn't causing them problems.

I suppose we're what might be called permissive parents, because we only ever had what few rules were necessary to ensure safety and the smooth running of our family's lives. [/quote]
