[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like she did something wrong, was ignoring his calls, so found her and talked to her.  Don’t all teens get upset when they get in trouble.

Not sure why everyone is getting mad at the OP letting the girl visit until 9:30.  It is not like she is holding the girl hostage.  Her parents can make a different rule.  My kid has tons of homework but I know lots of teens that do not.  [/quote]

Maybe the girlfriend’s dad has a problem with her new found after school hobby, and let her know

[b]Hanging out until 9:30 at boyfriend’s (or any friend’s) house regularly during the week; loafing, watching movies,
playing video games wouldn’t be ok with me as a parent.  [/b]That would mean what they aren’t doing is homework, studying, working a job, playing [b]sports[/quote]

We get it. You’re uptight. That’s fine, but don’t expect others to feel.[/quote]

No they care about the child’s academics and future.  [/quote]

Darling, my oldest is at a Top 20 college. My second is getting all As in AP classes. You are doing your kids no favors by being rigid and insane.[/quote]

Sad you’d rather be a friend than parent.  [/quote]

Different poster here but being overly controlling of a 17 year old is more detrimental than allowing a child who's otherwise doing well to make decisions. 
Many sporting events run until almost 9pm (especially track) and many teens have jobs that run until this time. That you feel the need to micromanage the time of a 17 year old shows you either did a lousy job up until 17, or you are suffering from anxiety. And everyone in your house is likely suffering from your anxiety as well.

Doing sports or working a job until 9 is different feom watching movies with boyfriend several nights per week until 9-10
