[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wait up--my twins are now 18 (seniors in high school with a fall birthday).  
I hold a 12 midnight curfew but what they do before then is their business--I don't need to know where they are.

Neither are big drinkers.  My son got drunk once at 16.  It was quite obvious.  Teens (especially young ones) are not great at hiding intoxication.   He hasn't been drunk since.  My daughter (twins sister) has never been drunk.

We're fine with occasional teen drinking.  I grew up in a super strict community (strict parents, religious school, etc).  Everyone just lied and hid things from their parents.  It was insane what went on.  I would rather have things out in the open.  [/quote]

Yep - the strictest parents have the sneakiest kids. And the kids just tell them nothing.[/quote]

This is just what permissive parents say to justify their lazy permissive parenting. [/quote]

I'm actually watching this play out with my son's friend group right now. But ok, I guess you know all.
