[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 42941, member: 3647"] You know, you are right, You would be none the wiser. BUT. She is in your home. And as long as she is on YOUR home, she needs to follow YOUR rules. You need to make rules that you are comfortable with. I would say 2AM on the weekends is a fair curfew. With the stipulation that if you find that she has been drinking, you reserve the right to make it earlier. As far as having guys over, you choose a time that you are OK with. If your daughter is a reasonable, mature adult (and it sounds like she is), you could sit down and negotiate the times with her. If she balks because she does not like the rules, you could gently remind her how much you are saving her by allowing her to live with you. I had the same problem last year when Basset Hound turned 18. She whined about the ruled, and I showed her the door if she didn't like it. Well, she called my bluff, and she is on her own. Not my first choice, but she is not sneaking her boyfriend into MY house anymore. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
