[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your daughter has little too much freedom and power over you.

Teens staying up a little later in the summer is one thing. Staying up regularly until 5am, sleeping until noon, and saying ridiculous stuff like "I don't feel well because I went to bed early at 2:30am" is absurd (and it's absurd that you take this seriously).

My kid is 14 going into 9th grade. He's been alternating weeks working as a CIT and staying home (various sports things, helping pack for a move, seeing friends). He wakes up around 7am, earlier if he wants to run for his sport (this is his choice, and I realize it's not typical). We ask him to be in bed by 10 on a weeknight and if he's not in bed by 11 on a weekend we say something, most nights. There are exceptions but 5am is out of the question (1am is out of the question unless it's a sleepover for an older kid!).

If he wants to order Door Dash he has some gift cards. But we also don't allow him to order it willy nilly. [/quote]
