[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 530822, member: 9175"] I think I used "curfew" for lack of a better word for the common courtesy of letting me knwo when to expect you to come home. She had a curfew in high school, which she pushed once....and only once. To touch on what donna said about not wanting them to be rushing/speeding to make curfew... boy, do I get that. As a teen, I raced home speeding more times that I want to recall. When my difficult child first started driving, I would set a "time to leave" with her. Since I knew where she was going and about how long it would take to get here, I would say "You have to leave Cassie's at 10. Call when you are leaving". This way, I knew she'd get home, roughly, by 10:30 if she left at the proper time. It isn't perfect, but it did help with my peace of mind. Even now, she will occasionally remark about that and has told me it helped her to feel less pressured. But, certainly at 20 -difficult child or not - there are a few things you have to let go.
