[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 630808, member: 17269"] I don't care much about the state of their rooms. If it is messy they should keep the door closed, and I won't go in. I wouldn't dream of doing their laundry. They should pick up after themselves and keep the kitchen clean. They should do a few chores every day (just like I do) to keep things running smoothly...empty the dishwasher, walk the dog, water the houseplants or window box, go buy milk or other basics (with my money as necessary) and, if we are eating together, they hsould make dinner from time to time. I differ from some of the other moms in that I think a curfew is forever. Like MWM, I don't want to worry, and I don't want to wake up when they come home late. I tell them what time they have to be home, and they have to come to my room and wake me up when they get in (eventually my daughter started texting me from her room instead which served the same purpose...I didn't wake up and worry). No overnight friends of the sexual type. Ever. No overnight friends of any type without asking me. That is it off the top of my head. [/QUOTE]
