[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i kinda feel like sneaking out is a rite of passage. I’ve only caught my son once, i’m sure it’s more, but i don’t go out of my way to turn the house into Alcatraz. [/quote]
Right??? Unless you have reason to believe your kid is engaging in seriously risky behavior (hard drugs, criminal activity, etc.) just wag your finger at them like parents have done since time immemorial and take comfort in the knowledge they'll outgrow it.[/quote]

Most of the time they are sneaking out due to drugs, alcohol, and other illegal activity. Do you think they are playing checkers? [/quote]
Teens typically sneak out to hang out with their friends, as an act of mild rebellion, to feel "edgy," to assert independence and, yes, to smoke weed and drink beer.  Just like I did when I was a teen, just like my kids did, and just like their kids probably will.  Sad sacks like you who've clearly forgotten what it was like to be a kid are depressing. [/quote]
