[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a little confused and I'm asking these questions to just understand.

When he slept over did you expect him to stick to the midnight curfew? or is he under the rules of the house he is staying?

If he came home at midnight but went to a drinking party would he be grounded?

So he never went to the house he was "sleeping at"? he pulled an all nighter at the party house?

It's going to be a long summer if you start out with a battle, obviously he is grounded but I would not address it with the expectation that there are graduating punishments. I've been there when I can't find my kid for 2 hours and once he was in the basement but his phone was at his friends.  (They are walking distance and I did not realize he came home) and I was freaking out.

He was at his friend's house all day.

Around 9 or so they went to the other house for a party.   He stayed over at the party house.   In the past, he would text me and tell me he was moving locations.  He didn't do that this time.

I expect parties to have drugs and alcohol.   We've discussed this ad nauseum and he knows I don't want him to drink/smoke (but I'm also not stupid), and he's not to drive or ride with someone, because he won't know if they are sober.   That's why he spent the night where he was (a good decision, although he could have called me.   He knows he can always call me).

He gets no more overnights, and he understands.   We've been talking a lot, and he has some regrets.   We'd talked them through and gone over how he can avoid certain things in the future.   And I have praised him where he made good choices, like not getting into a car.[/quote]
