[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is likely used to a lot of autonomy when away at school.  I had a similar experience with my parents when I was in college.  They expected me to check I  and I was used to being on my own.  I got a little speech about staying out all night.  I decided to not come home at all after that.  I would stay with friends ornmy  boyfriend during breaks and just stop by to visit.  [/quote]
  
 This is fake post for sure.   lol! So easy to pick out. [/quote]

My response is not fake.  I have a great relationship with my parents but I did not come home during breaks after freshman year.  I stayed with friends.  [/quote]

[b]You were not an easy person, were you?[/b] That was just really cold.

I concur with PPs - it’s not about independence or autonomy - it’s common courtesy. I would certainly text my husband (and 18 year old, who is home on break) if I was going to be out unusually late so they didn’t wait up and worry. My kid doesn’t have a curfew anymore but if he’s on the road on NYE, he knows to give us a heads-up. He has full autonomy, FFS.

I don’t live in the same city as my elderly mom but I knew she was walking to and from dinner in the dark last night and I checked in to make sure she got home safely.[/quote]

This. You are an outlier. [/quote]
