[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 118952, member: 1835"] Well, see, that's the thing. I don't MIND if he stays out later than midnight and/or spends the night with a friend. He knows this. I just HATE to wake up at 2 or 3 in the morning, expecting him home and finding that he isn't. Even though I'm FAIRLY sure he's alive and well somewhere, there's still that nagging what-if feeling. In addition, I highly suspect that, on those occasions when he doesn't come home, it's because he's having a couple of beers with a friend somewhere and just doesn't think about texting. When I've brought this up, he tells me that he's 18 and is going to party once in awhile and he might NOT call or text. At this point, I'm wondering if the call/text requirement is inappropriate at his age and whether I should take it off the bargaining table. [/QUOTE]
