@jonnegetier That’s the other issue isn’t it? You can’t and won’t sleep until they’re home. It’s only to get worse until they eventually go to University or get a job and their own place.

@xanti That sounds like it works for you guys and I’d be happy to do the same but my son insists on taking the opportunity to walk home listening to his music. He can’t drive until 17.

@angelanguyen It’s under 16

@glennheath I’m in the UK, so no driving until he’s 17 which is good in that there’s no worry of an accident. There are of course a million other worries when they’re on foot. 12 seems to look like the overall consensus.

@christiananon This is very in tune with my view on parenting at this age. If they’ve proven to be deserving of your trust and goodwill you should positively reinforce their behaviour with additional freedoms. It can also be worthwhile in certain circumstances to ‘give them enough rope to hang...

@anita5050 Gotta at least admire their ingenuity 🙂

@katrina2017 I would like to reset to midnight but he’s been really behaving himself. We also live in an extremely safe environment.

@michaelo We’re on the same wavelength. His grades are good, he’s mature and he doesn’t cause me any problems. I think it’s just a case of monitoring the situation. He’s seriously considering joining the armed forces when he leaves school in two years. I don’t want to baby him when he’s...

@michaelo I do the same and also ask him to keep on snap maps too. He’s just going from local shops to friends house to the local parks etc. Nothing sinister. We live in extremely safe leafy suburbs.

@neonlili That seems very reasonable. It’s going to be hard for me to reset the curfew clock when he’s keeping his nose clean. I think I’m stuck with 1am until he drops the ball.

@tozirereers1974 Uk, Earth, the Milky Way section of I’m sure the same Universe but I get your point. In your neighbourhood it’s unthinkable. My son and his friends are very sensible people who have never put a foot wrong and we live in an incredibly safe environment. It’s extremely difficult...

@arhodie I was drinking at that age but not causing any other problems for anyone else. My son isn’t even doing that. I think statistics show, in my country, kids are distinctly less interested than we were in those activities. Most of them would rather be at the gym or gaming or just on social...

@raleighjoelle That’s true but so far so good for me. He’s very sensible and mature but the biggest concern is probably other people. We do live in an incredibly safe environment.

@syndiseok That’s very sensible. Is he content with that or does he push his luck? 🙂

Just wondering what time you all set. My son is insisting he ‘isn’t 12 anymore’ and wants to stay out past 1am. I’m not comfortable with this at all.
