[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to say that when my parents gave bogus curfews like 10pm, I just "spent the night with girlfriends". It wasn't the safest and sometimes I really didn't have a place to stay. [/quote]

I know I'll be slammed for this given DCUM, but we never let dc's sleep over at friends when young and now they know not to ask.  Makes me feel so. much. better. about them going to parties, etc.   I also wait up when they come home (not always, but sometimes)  to assess the situation.  My dd's friend lets her sleep over at our house, but every single time she's done so, I've gotten a text from the mom 'thanking me for having her' which I think is her way of making sure she is actually staying over.

Hi I went to college with kids who had parents like you. Those kids were crazy wild and engaging in all sorts of dangerous behavior. I was over it by college and barely drank. There is a world of difference between parents who allow too much and parents who allow nothing.[/quote]

Well, I was only allowed to sleep over at my cousins house growing up and had a reasonable curfew --- never engaged in crazy wild and dangerous behavior in college!

I also do the same with my kids since they were young and they don't ask to sleep over at friends home.

[b]Glad your parents allowed you to do so much and therefore you were "over it" by college[/b].  :twisted:  :mrgreen:

People I knew who did this ended up not making it to college, or ended up at low-end party schools.  Unless they were rich.[/quote]
