He’s not going to do this.  How about agreeing that he give you a rough idea when he will be home and text if he’s staying the night somewhere else? Is he okay still having 360 on his phone at this age? [/quote]

Problem is his battery life. Next time he has plans to go out (when he's back in your good graces!), remind him to charge his phone before he leaves.[/quote]

Op here- he had battery life at 3:50– so way before then he could have texted “hey I’m going to Nicks yo spendnnite with some buddies”

12:30 is our timeframe to just let us know rough idea of his plans- that’s it- “I’ll be home in about hour”—- “I’m staying at Dave’s”—- whatever.

I don’t feel like a freshman home for holidays is too unnumbered by letting their folks now at 12:30 they are/ are not headed home. Then when I wake up I have an idea where he ended up.
    It’s 3 weeks at Xmas and 2.5 months in summer and it makes me know he’s resonably safe— feel like that’s a pretty simple ask.
   Honestly, I’m 50 and when I go to my parents house, I always say where I’m going out of just normal courtesy— “hey I’m going to dinner with friends tonite”—- “im going to mall”—- it just seems normal.
   Then if I never came home, they would know it’s not like me and to worry.

I understand that, you are replying to me.  I’m your age and absolutely tell my parents where I’m going to the minute when I’m visiting. But we are middle age.  Remember being young? You are hoping to hook up with someone you meet and sometimes they spend the night together.  We didn’t have cells to text our parents - I just met this hot guy and might stay over if it goes well, don’t wait up.  Think about it- you don’t want to get that text!  [/quote]

I totally agree by the way- I was a more replying to the entire chain…. Not your responses only- sorry about that! Your points are spot on.

No I would not want that text...just something like "I decided to spent the night out where I am.  Talk to you tomorrow".  This would eliminate many many of mom's concerns,[/quote]
