[QUOTE="donna723, post: 157776, member: 1883"] I agree with the others. There should be consequences sufficient enough to give him a bit of an attitude adjustment. A few minutes late on a rare occasion is no big deal. A few minutes late every night means he's pushing it! He's not taking it seriously and he's waiting until the very last minute to leave where ever he is and not planning ahead for any stops he may have to make or any delays he may encounter. In the "real world" this attitude will get him fired from a job very quickly - no employer would overlook someone coming in a few minutes late every day! Whose vehicle is this that he's driving? Who pays for the gas? And the insurance? If it's yours, you have a perfect right to know, not only where HE is, but where YOUR vehicle is ... at all times! And a phone is pretty much a necessity. But since he won't be using it just to call you, he should be the one paying for it. I was really strict on curfews with mine when they started driving. If they were late they KNEW their young rears would be very firmly grounded the next weekend so they did pretty good. They were on time the great majority of the time so an [I]occasional[/I] minute or two late was overlooked. But any more than that, if something unavoidable had happened, they had BETTER have called me beforehand. I didn't want them doing 90 mph on the back roads trying to get home before their curfew to keep from being grounded. [/QUOTE]
