[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 529905, member: 14557"] I have no experience with this, but I do know that many friends who have their young adults (mostly PCs) living at home have different kind of rules for that. Often kids are expected to tell beforehand, when they can be expected back to home if it is after certain time. And if their plans change, they will notify in time. And of course they will also tell beforehand, if they are not planning coming home at all for the night. Just common courtesy so that parents don't have to worry. But if you don't trust your difficult child's decision making ability why not be more strict? As an adult she can choose to live on her own or with you by your rules. And you can make the rules to be what is convenient for you. Give her a curfew as a requisite to let her live with you. But maybe it would be wise to make that kind of exception that if she does plan to spend night somewhere else, it is okay, if she notifies you beforehand. But it is in no way okay to keep you awake and worrying when she comes and if she is safe. That is just plain rude. [/QUOTE]
