[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a courtesy thing, not a control thing in our household among all members. "Hey, I'm doing XX, will be back around YY." [/quote] This. And with increasing independence comes increased responsibility. Rational adults just let other household members know where they are going and approximately when they will be back. Same for teens who want to think of themselves as adults. If there is some deviation, no big deal. I might say I'm running errands but run into a friend and have lunch somewhere else instead. I don't need to know that level with my kid. If he goes over Joe's house but they end up going to a high school football game instead, no biggie. Or whatever. But if he says he will be home by dinner and he's not home by 10 or 11, without texting about a change of plans, then there is a problem. [/quote]
