<p>GOING OUT!!! Who said my daughters could go out? :p</p>
<p>Can their dads accompany them as chaperones? It would be much less stressful, I think.</p>
<p>Can we also fingerprint the dates? Would a criminal background investigations be too much?</p>
<p>I think you should get the parents’ tax returns for the past three years, and make them fill out the FASFA.</p>
<p>mini, that is a really good idea. ;)</p>
<p>Remember this is a college junior not a highschool girl…Thank goodness we are beyond the highschool dating…I survived that!!!</p>
<p>And your point is? ;)</p>
<p>(Just kidding.)</p>
<p>It’s hard to let them grow up, huh?</p>
<p>Okay, well if she is in college then she might be allowed to go out on the back porch. :D</p>
<p>College junior. My parents don’t ask anything, besides maybe where I am going if they are curious. I have no curfew, but the car they’ve lent me to drive has a 1am curfew. So if I am driving it is understood that is when I will be home. If I am not driving they may ask when I might be home but I am not held to whatever time I tell them, though I do try to be home around then. I think they are generally more curious than anything else.</p>
<p>I almost never ride with someone else, so chances are I’ll have that 1am curfew until my wedding day. haha</p>
<p>Brilliant! I’m giving my car an immediate curfew of 1 am for my college daughter. Hah!</p>
<p>This is why I hang around here. ;)</p>
<p>Until now, I didn’t even know you could give a curfew to a car. Genius!</p>
<p>Shh. Don’t tell your kids it was someone their age that betrayed them. 
That car curfew was the bane of my existence at 18-20, now at 21 I am too damn tired at night to stay out any later than 1am anyway. But it also keeps me from sleeping over at anybody else’s house, which means I also cannot drink or stay with my boyfriend, and I really have no argument because they own the car! I had no idea my parents were so clever.</p>
<p>Your parents are wickedly clever. Kudos to them! </p>
<p>I won’t tell my kids that a peer threw them under the bus. </p>
<p>Nothing good happens after midnight, anyway. ;)</p>
<p>But Man!
The headliner bands don’t even start playing till 11:30!
Gah!
How do they expect me not only to stand up that long but stay awake too?</p>
<p>I have a friend who requires that her untrustworthy son take a photo of himself on his cell phone and send it to her on her cell phone whenever she asks. He has to take the photo in such a way that it shows where he is (outside the movie theater, at the mall, at friend’s house, etc). He has not been truthful about his whereabouts in the past. The photo has to show up immediately on the mom’s cell phone. Of course, he could probably figure out a way to fool her with this, but so far, it seems to work. A clever idea, but too bad she has had to do this.</p>
<p>^wow, thats crazy as hell, glad my parents never thought of that</p>
<p>emeraldkity, </p>
<p>I remember going to those concerts and clubs and staying up half the night - or longer! I start yawning at 10:30, now. It does suck a bit, getting older.</p>
<p>threecubs,</p>
<p>That camera idea is also genius. Wow. So many smart parents, I feel slightly unworthy I hadn’t thought of it, before.</p>
<p>I know! I’m not nearly as inventive as I thought I was. The car curfew parents win the Cafe` award, however, for best manuever in a late night situation. ;)</p>
<p>Maybe if the kids don’t drive yet, we can implement a cell phone curfew. ;)</p>
<p>threecubs, I bet your friends son has an entire photo gallery on his phone of possible needed photos taken at various hours. He would have to be clever enough to make sure he is wearing the same shirt though. Hmmm, sounds like something I would have tried to get away with! :)</p>
