If they are coming home to your home, you could tell them they need to get their own place. As a parent we worry about them. I don't want to be staying up late worrying, and, I know I would. My daughter is grown but I believe you have a right to do this. Just let them know that if they don't abide by your rules, they can set up house some where else.
Reply:im a teenager. my parents always come up with some excuse...if you dont want them out late, just tell them no and explain your reasoning. i personally hate when my parents say "because i said so". just tell them why they cant. if the kid is 18 or older, let them do what they want.
Reply:After the age of 18, parents have no right to enforce curfews. Their 'children' are adults.
Reply:20 If the kid is living in the parents house, its the parents rules. No matter what. Negotitation is open, but overall parents rule.





If the kid has a problem with it, then tell them they can live on there own and make there own rules.
