[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I had a tiny bit of sympathy for you until this: [i][i]IMHO, it's a bit of an immature/entitled attitude to think that one can come and go 2-3x per week at 2 am for purely social reasons, if one knows that those actions have a negative impact on another person.

You want your young adult to stop acting like a young adult so as not to possibly wake you up.  You don't indicate that your kid is disrespecting you in any way.  Kid is going out with friends a few times a week.  What would NOT be normal is for your kid to have to tell friends at 11:30 -- "Sorry gang, have to leave so that I don't make the tiniest bit of noise and wake my mom up after midnight"

When I had kids, I expected that there would be some sleeplessness in the early years.  I ALSO expected that there could be some of this in the teen/young adult years with them coming home late.  I do not think it is reasonable for you to ask your kid to ALWAYS be home by midnight.  If you want your kid to move out ASAP, insisting on this is a pretty good way to do it.  Depends on your goals -- do you want them around or do you want them to move out?[/quote]

Dp. That might be a plan for next summer[/quote]
