What are your rules for your teens regarding:
What time they come in
How late they are before you start worrying
Friends who can drive and accepting lifts etc
Giving lifts yourself.
Me, I'm 19, and my answers are:
Usually in by ten at the latest, except Tuesdays when I go to a pub quiz and am in for 11 ish
My family have said they'd worry after 1-2 hours and only if I hadn't phoned home (I always do).
As long as they've passed their test, it's fine, they let me use my judgement and always have done. The only exception was when a friend said she'd drive us to Alton Towers the day after her test (she didn't pass on that attempt) my grandfather especially wasn't happy with that. (I have an odd family arrangement, live with mum, her parents and her brother, no kids yet).
As long as there was some notice, although my grandfather was actually kinder in this respect than my mum is! He'd give me a lift with as little as an hours' notice.
So, your turn This came about because of a conversation I was having with my GP's in case you wondered, I wanted to see if anyone else was this laid back!
