[quote=Anonymous]Were you never 20 years old, OP?  I remember not even leaving to go out until 10:30 or 11.  In DC, the clubs would be open until 2, and then we would eventually meander home, sometimes after going to an all-night diner or breakfast place for a bite.  I would often get home at 4 or so.  I say this as a goody-two-shoes who never did drugs, rarely drank, and made Testudo fly (IFKYK).

I don't make a big deal out of my college-aged kid staying out late.  It's the only time in his life that he will really have the freedom and energy to do so.  I want a good relationship with him and I want him to feel like he always has a place in the family home.  I ask for common curtesy when he is home - minimize noise after midnight, clean up after yourself, help with household chores. But I'm playing the long game -- I want a good relationship with my kids for life and understand the different seasons of life.  He's in the live forever, nonstop energy, world is my oyster phase.  I love seeing it and it brings back happy memories of that time in my own life.  [/quote]
