[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 473603, member: 84"] Curfew to me if there is an adult child living in the home......a must. Mine was midnight, but if something happened and it just had to be later.....I'd better have a phone call and it better be with good reason. Why? Consideration. Mom's worry. It's what we do whether we admit it or not. I don't sleep well until all members of the household are in for the night.......and if I did manage to sleep, doors cars ect would wake me up. Uh no. My house. I have a right to go to bed at a reasonable hour when I want. That I often don't has nothing to do with it. lol I'm with Janet on the what they do outside the home is their problem, but don't bring it in my house or you won't be in my house. No cops knocking at the door because of it either. And I bail no one out of jail. Period. But I will say I'd be none too happy if they were to stumble in wasted or drunk either......so it would depend. My rules were mainly based in respect and consideration. If they couldn't manage that, they didn't need to be living in my house. The rules were simple and easy to enforce, knowing I wouldn't waver. Because if you're going to hesitate if one is challenged, you might as well toss it out. [/QUOTE]
