[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was still 17 when he graduated, [b]and he didn't have a bedtime[/b]. That seems like a reasonable rule to drop.[/quote] It's a problem when there's too much homework[/quote] Well he needs to learn how to manage life when he goes to college in 9 months. If he stays up late doing hw or falls asleep and doesn't study for a test or get the assignment done, then his grades will drop. When that happens then you discuss consequences---such as loss of car privileges or reign in the curfew, etc. But at this age you need to let them manage and "fail" if needed and then have a discussion with him about how to fix it. Let him come up with suggestions and tell you why that would be the best solution. You tell him his job "go to school on time, get good grades, get your chores done, etc" and if he cannot manage that then there are consequences and a discussion of how to modify his plans so he can accomplish it.
