Never this.

We never let our kids just go "out."  It is a set expectation that we know where you are going, who you are with, and what time you will be home.  There's no curfew per se; just stick to the plan.  If the plan changes, for example, you're going to Sam's house instead of Jake's, you let us know, or if you are stopping to get something to eat after the movie, you let us know.

I was counting days till college because my parents were asking all those questions. My parents still don't understand why I was so irked by those questions. None of those question stopped me from partying, I learned to hide well.[/quote]

I was counting the days too- well they loosened up at maybe at the end of senior year, which looking back is probably most appropriate. But I didn't lie to them, so my core group just kind of hung at each other's homes- drove out to eat, movies, maybe drop by a party a little early and leave. I was allowed to "go out"- meaning whatever field party I wanted- about 6 months before college.

I wasn't irked by the questions, it made perfect sense at the time, they were scared for what kind of negative things that could happen. I remember wishing they didn't care as much or "trusted me" but  obviously even as a very young adult looking back I know wishing they didn't care was stupid.
