[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don’t give a blanket curfew. The kids have to come tell us what they want to do, who’ll be there when they think it’s  reasonable to get home, and we discuss from there. Could be 10:30, could be the next morning. [/quote]

This is a little too free for a junior in HS.[/quote]
 I agree. Way to young for this.[/quote]

I'm the PP with that se-up and I think it's MUCH better than saying "go wherever you want as long as you're home by midnight." It makes so much more sense to say "What do you want to do? Go to this event at school that ends at 10pm and then walk to the diner with your friends? And you want us to pick you up when?" Then they suggest a time and we agree or suggest an alternate time. Maybe they want to go from the diner to sleep over at a friend's house. Maybe they want us to pick them up after an hour. But we know exactly where they are and who they'll be with. [/quote]

Wow way too controlling.  [/quote]

DP here. No, this just sounds like normal family communication to me. My husband and I discuss our plans similarly (without the permission of course.) How do you think you teach good judgement if you don't know the details enough to assess the situation? I can't tell my child if I think something is a bad idea if I don't know what they are planning. [/quote]
