[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 315969, member: 1514"] I dont think any set of rules that is made up in therapy now that says that a 14 year old can run loose without a parent knowing where they are is going to be seen as enforceable to anyone. Most cities have their own curfews now anyway. Now I dont think you should have rules like you have for a 6 year old but you should have age appropriate rules. We had to keep Cory on a much tighter leash than we kept Jamie. He didnt like it. At 15 Jamie was allowed to go over to friends houses after school as long as he came home for supper or called to tell us he was having supper there. Cory...not on his life! We simply couldnt trust him out of our sight. Jamie was allowed to do the going to friends houses from about age 13 but then his friends were just a handful of boys and mostly they were actually relatives. Jamies best friends were two second cousins. He practically lived at their house during his teen years. I couldnt let Cory do that. Sad but true. I couldnt do it even when he was 17 or 18 to be honest. [/QUOTE]
