[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 157834, member: 179"] I've never set a curfew for easy child. At this point, after raising 4 kids...I don't have the energy. There are some nights that he doesn't come in until 2am, but I trust him enough to make somewhat responsible choices. In fact, there are nights when he doesn't come home at all. Should I be worried? I suppose...but his friends do the same things here. They get playing some video game and eventually crash wherever they can find a space. He goes to school, works 40+ hours at his job, then hangs out at Buffalo Wild Wings just down the road with his friends. by the way...he's the pacman champ there. What a kudo. The staff knows husband and I so I'm quite sure they know he's only 18. The BIG issue for me is the car. You drive my car...you better darn sure you're making good choices. I'd snatch that thing away in a heartbeat, which I have in the past. He seems to have good friends (although I did find his hidden pipe, which is supposedly not his...ha, ha), so I don't worry a whole lot. Missing curfew is one of those things I pile in the low level basket of worries...unless I have suspicions of not good behavior. He got up today and unloaded the dishwasher, made bacon and eggs, then completely cleaned his bedroom and bath, then mowed the front and back yard. Now, he's heading off to work. I guess I can't complain. Typical teen...but seems to be on the right track. So, if he stays out a bit long, it's ok with me because of the trust factor. Abbey [/QUOTE]
