[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 44824, member: 87"] No time to read the other's responses, but I will tell you mine. Of course, I do not have any easy child daughters. [img]:frown:[/img] When Angela was 19, she was going to "raves" (parties), doing drugs there, being gone from Friday night 'til Monday morning many times. We decided to give her a 1 am curfew to try to get her away from that scene and away from the drugs. She refused to keep the curfew. We kicked her out. One time I spoke with a policeman regarding curfews for underage kids, and he said nothing good happens after midnight. I think he's right. Plus I worry about drunk drivers on the road in the early morning hours. Melissa is 21 and of drinking age. She is not a partier. She does go to a bar with a friend occasionally and has a drink or two. She is usually home early. I never actually gave her a curfew because she does come home early. It's usually by midnight. She calls me if it's getting late. Anyway, I don't think it's too much to ask your daughter to have a curfew of 1 am, especially seeing how she is underage. Then I would have a consequence if she did not come home at 1. (or at least tell her she has to call with a good excuse as to why she will be late) As far as having a male friend sleep overnight, we absolutely would not allow it when Angela lived at home. But then for Melissa, we allowed her boyfriend to sleep over. However, he had to sleep in the living room, and she slept on our bedroom floor. Being in college, she slept in his room and he slept in hers plenty of times. I had no control over it except to tell her that husband and I did not approve. (she is always so honest and she had told us they did this) We do not want her getting pregnant, so I insist she be on the depo provera shot. husband thinks that is condoning her having sex.
