[QUOTE="donna723, post: 530626, member: 1883"] I never really had a curfew for mine either once they were out of school and working, or when my daughter was living at home while going to nursing school. I did ask that they let me know if they were going to be coming home later than usual or not coming home at all. That's not really treating them like a kid, it's just common courtesy to the ones waiting for them at home and should apply to everyone who lives there, adults included. Even when my daughter was working nights at the hospital, I couldn't sleep until I heard her car pulling in to the driveway. Even when they were still in high school, I wasn't totally hard and fast on the curfews. I didn't want them doing 90 mph over those curvy country roads trying to make it home under the wire. I always told them that if they were going to be a [I]few minutes[/I] late, call and let me know and I'd be cool with it. However, a "[I]few minutes[/I]" isn't a half hour or an hour ... that's pushing their luck! And actually they both were pretty good about it and didn't abuse the privilege. [/QUOTE]
