@jhwallace: Because parenting a teenager is such a weird combination of wanting them to grow up, giving them independence, trusting them to make good choices… and still needing to know they made it home safely. I want him to have fun. I want him to make memories. I want him to enjoy being a teenager. But I also want him HOME. 😂 And apparently the older he gets, the later the curfew feels… while Mom’s bedtime keeps getting earlier. 🤣 Nobody warned me that parenting a teenager would involve negotiating curfews with a child who has the energy to stay out late and a mother who is ready for pajamas and bed by 9:30. Teenagers: “I’ll be home by 11.” Mom: “Okay.” Also Mom at 11:01: “WHERE ARE YOU?” 😂 Tell me I’m not the only mom who has ever set a curfew that required more stamina from her than her teenager. #relatablemom #parentinglife #teenmom #teenageyears #momofteens
Back in the 80s, my friend had diabolically old parents. We were teens and they were already in their 60s. So they set an alarm clock in the hallway after she left with me for the night and if we got back in time to turn the alarm off, cool. If not…well it only happened once.

our rule for curfew is the grade your in if your with friends, so 10th grade 10:00 11 grade 11:00. unless your with parents ... so let's say they were invited with on a family trip to a water park and won't be home till late.

Get an old time alarm clock. Set the alarm to go off at curfew time. Your child must be home in time to stop the alarm from going off! You’re welcome!

Pro tip. When they get home they have to hit the ring doorbell. It records them coming in and I have so many videos of them telling me they love me 😍

I sleep on the couch until they’re home and then go to bed. I’m too anxious to fall asleep in my bed but not on the couch.

Set an alarm clock for curfew time and tell them to turn it off. If you wake up to the alarm you know they aren't there.

Nobody's life is perfect :
life 360 knows when they are late, they know they are late, and I do but that's a morning conversation. not a past curfew conversation
