[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a bedtime an 18 year old is certainly peculiar. But, ‘you do you.’[/quote] Yeah, a bedtime for an 18 year old is crazy. Natural consequences. Stay up too late you're tired the next day. [/quote] I can’t understand the level of control some mothers want over their kids (18!). I have sympathy for OP’s son. I know I would have been deeply unhappy if my parents set so many rules at that age. [/quote] Some kids don't self-regulate very well and need a bed time enforcer, even as high schoolers. [/quote] How often do you give your kid opportunities to self regulate? When they mess up, do you give them additional opportunities, and allow them to deal with the consequences? If an 18 year has unusual special needs and cannot regulate then that’s one thing. But if he is capable enough to drive a moving vehicle, he should be old enough to choose a bedtime and keep a phone where he pleases. [/quote]
