Okay~~
Here is the question:
What guidelines/rules do you feel are appropriate for teenagers as far as curfew?
for instance...
Joshua has to be home by midnight, unless he makes prior arrangements to stay out a tad later. The latest allowable is 1:00 am.
Any opinions out there?

I think Josh should be able to stay out that late unless he has proven not to be responsible. Teenagers are going to stay out late anyway, and get away with alot of things that you will never know about ( which is a good thing) I say midnight or slightly later is good decent hour.

Mike and I argue FREQUENTLY over this issue. Josh makes the valid argument that dances arent over until midnight, and by the time he takes Cassi home......yada yada yada....he needs to come in between 12:30 and 1:00. He has NEVER broken curfew. ;D (unlike his older brother, who has been known to stay out ALL FREAKIN NIGHT) I think that Mike is being overly strict on Josh, because Jake was SO BAD as a teenager. (that, and maybe he's concerned over his health issues.)

Wow 12 am curfew for a teenager? That is great. It is much better than my day when my parents NEVER allowed me to go out and if I went to a movie with my friends I had to be home by 10. Yep, I had strict ass parents, but I guess I turned out ok .

See, now I never had a curfew....but if I came home too late I was in trouble.
How late was too late? Hell if I know! If Dad woke up and thought his car had been stolen (when I had just "borrowed" it or thought I might be dead...it was too late. Other than that I was cool. As long as I was back before 2 I was generally alright

I had a curfew "Be home before I get home"
Luckily Dad's bars closed at 2 ;-) He would also go buy me and my friends beer when I was 18. That big dummy! My kids are going to hate me, Midnight on Friday and 12:30 on Saturday.©Ø

That sounds reasonable to me. They don't need to be out past midnight.
If the dance ENDS at midnight, then he better get his bad self outta there in time to make his curfew, eh?
Teenagers don't need to be out in the wee hours. Too many temptations and dangers out there, IMO.
