so this is my sisters curfew. when I was her age mine was 9 on a school night. I think my mom is really messing up with her (I mean she drove off with 3 boys and no other girls). besides this being unfair I also don't find it safe because she oten breaks curfew b/c my mom goes to bed at 10 so my sister can really come home whenever she wants. I think i just was way too good of a kid so my mom thinks my sister will be as good as me which is not the truth. sorry just had to get that off my chest!
What is your curfew on a school night or what is your kids curfew on a school night.

no adult is present where ever she is. I'm the sister and i'm worried and my mom is in bed. I feel like I'm going to have to smell her clothes for pot and breath for beer.

I never had a curfew. I don't like a 15 yr old out untill 12.00.
You better put a end to it, If you mother won't. My brother who is 14 yrs old doesn't stay out that late, but he try's to follow the so called "cool guys" clowning around and the sorts. My mom is marshmallow, but I put the foot down and he makes a U-turn for his bedroom.

I always feel like the less time people spend with their children, the worse off the children are. To your sister your mom is soooo cool. But really, having such a late curfew and being able to leave with 3 boys isn't the best make-up for a young adult to aquire. I hope that she has a good head on her shoulders and you should help to make sure nothing will happen to her when she is out so late. What the hell good things can be going on at midnight on a school night. You would think that parents would pay more attention to the news and realize that it is way to easy for some punk kids to just take your sister...I'll pray for you and yours.

12:00 curfew on a school night is not right. Her curfew needs to be like 10. There are alot of dangers out at that time of night. Her school grades could start dropping if she doesnt get the amount of sleep a 15 yr old needs, and she might drop out of school. When i was her age I didnt have a curfew but then again i couldnt leave the house on a school night unless i was with my family. Or if i did leave the house, my parents took me to where i wanted to go and picked me up. and when i was her again i was probably going to bed at like 10:30pm.

Wow, sounds just like my mom and little sister. She is 6 years younger than me, and my curfew was always 10, no matter who I was going out with or what I was doing. My sister doesn't have a curfew (she's 16) nor does she have a job, or her license and has no intent on getting any. I had to get a job on my 16 birthday, I bought my own cell cuz mom thought I had no use for one before I was driving (although she bought my sister one for her 12 birthday)... Things are just different with the 2nd child, I have learned to take it somewhat as a compliment, first child is kind of the test kid, since I turned out great she knows she can be a little more leaneant with my sister on everything. I've t old my mom my concerns (like my sister haven't know sence of value in things, knowing mommy and daddy will just buy her what she needs when she wants it) and now mom is finally starting to realize it because my sis won't get a job, she refuses to work nights or weekends, no food service, no animals, and nothing where she "might" run into someone she knows... OMG!!!
So I think it is pretty normal, my husband and his sisters situation is exactly the same, except his sister is 21 and still needs mommy to pay her car payment on her new car she bought, her rent, buy her groceries, her cell bill, gas money... everything! Soo lame.
Hope this is a little encouraging to you that your not alone, try to think of it more of a compliment than anything, obviously your parents know that you turned out so well, if their rules are more lax with your sis, eventually their relationship will be too.

It is outrageous that she is allowed to come home so late when she is so young, and especially on a school night! She can expect her grades to plummet - she needs her rest and she needs time to properly study. Be glad that your curfew was so early - while she may think she won the jackpot, she really didn't. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do about it. Discuss, calmly, with your mom the reason why you think this curfew will not benefit her. Maturity is key to getting your message across. My teenage daughter, who is 14 going on 15, has a curfew of 9:30 p.m. on a schoolnight providing her homework is finished on time. She is responsible and I trust her. On weekends, she can stay out until 11:00 p.m. As she gets older, her curfew will increase - just another privelege that comes with age and maturity.
Best of luck!

For a 15 year old, midnight is way to late even on a WEEKEND night!!!!!! Thing here is, you COULD talk to your mom but that would only get your sister REALLY haired off at you..... maybe you could talk to your sister and let her KNOW how worried you are that she is being WAY TOO WILD for her age and basically taking advantage of a good thing... and you would HATE to see her end up pregnant or hurt or even KILLED because she was out at MIDNIGHT with the wrong crowd... any GOOD kids will all be home with mom and Dad WAY before Midnight!!!!!! If you DID try to talk to your mom, she would probably just tell you that you are NOT your sister and well, it could open a can of worms you MIGHT not want to see opened... so just try talking to your sister for now..

I think midnight is way too lenient of a curfew for a 15 yr old. First of all, where exactly is she going on a school night?Since she's too young to drive, who is she with? 3 boys? That can't be good. When I was 15 my curfew was 10pm on weekends and forget about staying out late on a school night.
Is she struggling in school because she stays out late?

I think that is way too late! I didn't have a curfew, but that was because I never went out, or when I did I was spending the night at a girl friend's house. I would probably say 10 should be the latest, but that's just my opinion.

First let me say that your Mom should consider herself lucky to have a daughter so caring. I know you worry what's going on with your sis, but I think the best you can hope for in this situation is to inform mom of what's going on, and let her be the parent in this situation. I have a 15 yr old son, and his curfew on a school night is 9. No exceptions!!! You are her SISTER, Hon. Not her Mom. It's not your job to parent her. That's your mom's job. Maybe she needs someone to remind her of that.

Curfew should be 9 on a school night. Your mom is either tired of raising her children or insane. your sister deserves more supervision but there is nothing you can do about it.
If you care about your sister stop resenting her and realize she's in danger and needs a level headed compassionate sister not another mom or a resentful sister. you may think she's getting priveleges you didn't have but the truth is she's being neglected
