[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 59926, member: 2211"] Cage11, My thoughts on curfew are kind of conservative I think. Since she's 18, graduated and has a PT job, I'd say 11 during the week and 2 on weekends. Considering she's in your home and you need your sleep, 2 is fair, in my opinion. However, there are some parents who feel "okay, they are 18 - whatever". That's not me. I have a friend who never EVER imposed a curfew with her daughters. They learned on their own that they couldn't function properly without sleeping. Haha - they learned. Mine would not. busywend: I've been teaching my girls about life and banking and jobs since forever. They each had real jobs when they turned 16 - it is a requisite in our house. Actually difficult child had her first real job at 15 and she loves working. She's not working now because of the suicidal thing a few weeks ago - I made her quit because it was stressing her out. I think it's important to start young, it's just that with difficult child's it takes way longer than it did with my easy child. Ugh. I think posting in the parenting emeritus is a good idea. I supposed I will just cut and paste it there. Thanks - good thinking! [/QUOTE]
