[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 545637, member: 1514"] Im not going to beat you up but I have 3 grown boys well over college age. Only one still lives with me and I wish he would get the heck out! I dont think we ever had curfews for our kids. It was never an issue here. My boys were kids that went to bed with the chickens and got up with them too. I actually remember one time that some of Jamie's friends tried to get him to go out with them at 11pm and he told them no because there wasnt anything they could do that late that they couldnt do before that time to have fun. Then he went back to sleep..lol. But in reality, there really isnt anything that they cant do before midnight that they can do after midnight except midnight movies. Bought we dont have them here...lol. Even when my adult kids lived with us the rules were not to wake us up because Tony goes to sleep between 9 and 10 every night. He has to get up every day at 4am. The kids pretty much have always done well with that. Billy is 31 and I cannot even imagine trying to tell him what time to come home or even if he had to be home every night. Now to say all that, when Cory lived her with Mandy, he did put a curfew on Mandy...lol. She was in college and she was used to running the roads as she saw fit and he wanted her to finish first HS and then go on to community college. He didnt like her running the roads at all hours of the night when she lived with us. He didnt mind them going out together on the weekends and he would tell us if they were going out somewhere but he simply put his foot down on her going out before all her homework was done and that seemed to put the brakes on her. Cory is a bit more strict than we are...lol. [/QUOTE]
