[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad tried to enforce a curfew of midnight even after I had left for college and came home for Christmas. That was the last time I went home. [/quote] You never came back home over a stupid curfew? Your issues seem deeper than a curfew. [/quote] I would have chafed against a curfew at that age. And not necessarily because of the curfew per se, but for what it represented: an inappropriate attempt to impose burdensome and unnecessary rules on another adult, rather than respecting their autonomy. Back to OP: I think it is reasonable to have some rules (e.g. chores). But you should discuss them and agree them with the adult child, rather than impose them arbitrarily.[/quote]
