[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can relate -- my 20 year old moved back in with us for a semester after dropping out of college.  Our issue was less about sleep-deprived behavior than about waking us up when she would come home really late (as well as keeping us awake with concern about where she is if she didn't let us know when she was coming home).  We had a baby, and sleep was at a premium, and her dad just couldn't sleep until she was home in the house.

So we made an agreement -- she would either be home by midnight on a work night, or would let us know where she was staying by midnight.  On the weekends we were more flexible.

It wasn't a "curfew", of course.  There was no grounding or punishment or whatever.  It was basically just a lesson of how to be courteous to each other.  Neither my husband nor I would be away from home until after midnight without the other person letting us know where they'd be.   So we had the same expectation of the other adult then living with us.  We all agreed that it was a reasonable expectation.

She's 23 - what does she think is reasonable?  [/quote]
