Oh, believe me. This is majorly a Mental Health question -- on Both Sides!

If they are coming home to your home, you could tell them they need to get their own place. As a parent we worry about them. I don't want to be staying up late worrying, and, I know I would. My daughter is grown but I believe you have a right to do this. Just let them know that if they don't abide by your rules, they can set up house some where else.

After the age of 18, parents have no right to enforce curfews. Their 'children' are adults.

20 If the kid is living in the parents house, its the parents rules. No matter what. Negotitation is open, but overall parents rule.
If the kid has a problem with it, then tell them they can live on there own and make there own rules.

Try the parenting section. This is mental health.

im a teenager. my parents always come up with some excuse...if you dont want them out late, just tell them no and explain your reasoning. i personally hate when my parents say "because i said so". just tell them why they cant. if the kid is 18 or older, let them do what they want.
