[quote=Anonymous]My outlook is similar to yours, too. No real curfew. We do limit weeknight outings. School has to come first. Just have to know when/where/who and a text asking if his plans can change. Now this doesn't mean out at 3am for a 14 year old. It just means we aren't strict about being home by midnight. No alcohol til 21. We have alcoholism in the family. Most new studies show even tasting it as a kid can set kids up for problems. Money: I'll pay for the first (used) car and insurance. Until he gets a ticket/accident. Then it gets readjusted based on rates. Or lost if it becomes too expensive. He pays for gas in the summer if working. I do expect him to work summers. Or volunteer. Something productive. I also will buy all needs. Some wants. Bigger wants (like MacBook Air vs windows laptop) require his chipping in on cost. We'll pay for a four year degree. Not too concerned with where. [/quote]
