[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally speaking as I know every case is different--I also wonder if there is a difference if you have a boy vs. a girl.

As a mom of a girl, yeah I just cannot sleep as I worry about her safety.  One extra thing of concern with girls is the vulnerability within their own friend group (i.e. guys in their friend group).

I mean--totally generally speaking, and also theoretically speaking, since I don't have an adult son...but my friend's son is 6'2" and was on the football team.  He's also a level-headed, non-partier kid. My friend doesn't worry about him getting beat up or raped.

And I think another aspect is the personality of the kid--if you have a risk-taker etc or not.  And even small things: I have one DD who sometimes forgets to shut the garage door or might not lock the front door.  But I've got a younger one who is really good with that kind of stuff.

But the DD is more likely to be in an unsafe position if she's "spending the night with a friend" or staying elsewhere. I did a lot of unsafe things and often didn't have a place to sleep because my parents had an 11pm curfew and I couldn't make it home in time for curfew. Even slept in my car. We weren't huge partiers either, but friends got together around 10pm and would hang out all night. [/quote]
