[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curfew? Always hated curfew and I don't see the point. I did plenty of drinking when I was fifteen/sixteen and got home by curfew. Only learned how to behave sober during those minutes when parents greet you coming home. [/quote]

This was me, my folks were really strict, no boyfriend, home by 10 etc etc.. so I just got real good at hiding stuff, they had no clue where I was , only where I told them I was.  By the time I got to college I was crazy. thankfully pulled it together before it was too late. My parents still have no clue my brother had to bail me out of jail for an underage drinking violation!

I do not want that for my kids,   I want them to be able to experiment with becoming an adult as we all did but in a way that they always have a safe place to go and know they can come to me or their Dad. I am confident in the way the behave today, the relationship we have and what they talk to me about .  They can have independence for senior year when they get there.[/quote]

Curfew isn't about preventing drinking for us.   We're AA, I'm not having my AA sons out at all hours even if just driving home from a friend's house 100% sober, I know and they know they won't get the benefit of doubt.  Our oldest just starting a 2nd year of college had curfew as a teen, and even now as a young adult isn't wandering the town at all hours, even when away at school.[/quote]

Never considered the differences n race concerning curfew. Interesting.[/quote]
