[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 44771, member: 84"] Of course easy child is expanding her horizons and getting a feel for her new adult freedom. That's perfectly normal. With that in mind though, it is your house and your rules. My Mom didn't give me a cerfew once I turned 18. BUT if I was going to be later than I told her I'd be home I'd durned well better CALL long before stepping in the door or else I'd find her foot in my fanny right before I landed on the front porch again. And I was still expected to be home at a reasonable hour. I think it's a matter of respect and consideration. Period. easy child should not expect you to stay up at all hours worrying if she made it home safely. I'd agree on a reasonable time for both of you and make her call if for some reason she might be later than that. If I was planning to be out too late I'd make arrangements to sleep over elsewhere so my Mom didn't have to stay up. My easy child often did this too once she turned 18. My easy child groaned a bit. Her friends also seemed to have free reign. But they did during highschool too. I told her she was welcome to move out pay rent, utilities, buy and learn to drive a car, and come and go as she pleased. Suddenly my rules didn't seem so tough. It's all in how you want to look at it. [img]:wink:[/img] The same rules will apply to N come June when she turns 18. They may "grow up" but it is still MY house. And heck, even when I go to stay at my own mother's on the rare visit her rules STILL apply. My 50 yr old brother discovered this when he went to visit my Mom and thought his new girlfriend would be staying there too. Mom had her set up in a hotel.
