[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally fine for a teen. They are old enough to make choices and live with the consequences. A few talks with the police might actually help. [/quote]

That teen could hurt or kill someone else.  Its not the police's job to talk to your kid.  That's a parenting responsibility and you need to step up and parent your kids.  [/quote]

NP and we had a discussion at dinner tonight with my teens on what was and wasn’t safe.  A friend’s parents is appalled at their unsafe behavior because we let them go out to eat on the weekends and stay out until 10.  They think this is wild, free range, irresponsible and not safe.  We think it is completely fine for teens to be out until 10 at a weekend.  We think it is pretty mild and innocent, they could be doing a lot worse than a late night dinner.

As we explained to our teens, everyone parents differently.  People shouldn’t complain about others and you can’t tell others how to parent their kids.  What some think is dangerous behavior, others think is fine.  [/quote]
