[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We work up early. As a Mom I can’t sleep til kid home . I know I know. Trying to give freedom but also hoping for advice on compromise use at least during work week. 2nd summer after college. [/quote]

Why are you worried about an adult?   You have no liability for them. [/quote]
omg this PP must not be a mom, or a mom of someone very young and can't imagine it yet.
I've told my DD (who is a high school senior) that it's not that I don't trust her.  It's that moms can't sleep until every chick is in the nest.  So do it for me.  This approach has worked because it's not about me not trusting her, or being nosey, so she doesn't get defensive.[/quote]

This was the approach my mom took when I was in college, too. I did try to respect her wishes, and we worked out a mostly reasonable compromise. But I also never forgot that they were paying for the non-scholarship portion of my school and giving me free room and board over the summers. So I did feel like “our house, our rules” wasn’t too much to ask.

In return, she never said anything when I stayed at a friend’s house, even when it was someone I was dating. [/quote]
