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]

NP here. Do you have any actual advice for the OP so OP can do better than your parents did, or do you just want to brag about your powers of deception?

Way to miss the point. PP was sharing her experience to emphasize that unless you have a solid relationship built on trust, all of these questions can be asked and answered and your teen will find a way around you to go to whatever party they want. By the time high school comes around giving kids the third degree is not enough to keep them out of unsafe situations. Sorry to burst your bubble. [/quote]
