What time would you expect your 16yr old son in at night?

Answer 1

That's a hard one- things seem to have changed for the worse. but if you are too strict they play up. If your son has respect for you and is honest, trust him ask him what time he thinks if fair. Make the ground rules clear as well as the consequences. Let him make the choice does he want to go out again- if he does he will do the right thing. have a drugs talk and a sex talk and then trust him. Thats all you can do.

Answer 2

Around 11

Answer 3

It depends on the type of child you are dealing with. A mature kid I would say you can come in at 10:30 if your work is done and your grades stay up. If the grades go down that means he needs the extra time to do his homework better, hence an earlier curfew. On the weekends, I would set a time depending on what is going on. There may be nights that 1 is acceptable. As a hint, I would splurge once in awhile and say 1 just for the heck of it. He may still be in earlier, but it is nice to hear that you would trust him out that long.

Answer 4

That would depend on whether it was a school night or a weekend, and also whether your city has a curfew. On a school night, I would want him home in time to eat dinner and do his homework. On a weekend, I'd say midnight, unless your city has a curfew that is earlier than that. Some cities do have curfews for kids under 17 or 18, and teenagers can get arrested if they're out later than that.

Answer 5

On school nights i say 9 thats if he done his homework befor. if not i wouldn't let him go till the homework is finished or at all. on weekends i say 11 depending on what it is. Actually i would start out at 10 and see if he can keep that for a month then let him start going at 11 and if he comes in past curfew without calling saying he's on his way home go back to 10.And if is grades are low i say don't let him go out on school nights till they go up. And he may argue and be like but every body esles mom lets them stay out late. Well probally cuz they don't care what there kid does or that kid has a's and b's.

Answer 6

If he's still in school, I'd say to be in around 10 or 10:30 on school nights and before 12 midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. There is too much going on in the night for our kids to get caught up in by being out after that. Too bad if he doesn't like it! He still needs to know and respect his boundaries and the fact that you are the parent and he the child. Set high standards and don't allow him to slip around them. Worldly pursuits are not going to give anything to his life and liable to take his life away too soon.

Answer 7

I dont have a 16 year old but have alot of nephews and they have to be in at 10pm and 11 at weekends and when my son is 16 he will be in by 10pm. I had to be home by 8pm when i was 16 and if i was even 5 minutes late it went back an hour.

Answer 8

Well on a school night 10 on weekends 11 or if you know where they are like maybe watching a movie at a friends house or like once in awhile 12

Answer 9

It all depends on what kind of kid he is. If you suspect he's into drugs, and running with the wrong crowd then I wouldn't let him out too late. And it all depends on what he's doing... if he's just hanging out with some friends, or cruising around I'd say maybe midnight (there is a curfew law in most places though) But if it's something like prom, or such then I'd let him out later but make sure he takes a cell phone and checks in. Good luck! It's great that you care!

Answer 10

In summer when it is still light I would expect him to be at home no later than 10.30 pm and during the winter months when its dark...sorry guys.8.30 pm max. May sound harsh but still being a parent and him living under my roof I want to know where he is.Obviously if I know what hes upto and its safe then the boundarys move but those are the times I would feel comfortable with.
