[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to say that when my parents gave bogus curfews like 10pm, I just "spent the night with girlfriends". It wasn't the safest and sometimes I really didn't have a place to stay. [/quote] +1 I insisted on a consistent stream of texts documenting location: I'm going here, I'm leaving here, Heading home and Home safe (I don't always wait up). DD always knew that if she consistently does these things I'll be more liberal in my policies, if she forgets/decides not to, the rules are tighter. It's worked (still does it when she's home on break for college--mainly because she knows I'll worry and lose sleep otherwise). I didn't allow her to drive with friends until 18 except to school or work (kind of fitting with Virginia law). It's easier to just have that rule rather than assess on a case-by-case situation.
