This topic came up at the end of our dinner time. Addison announced she wanted to talk about something. This is the usual in the Raymond Household. Important topics come up during our dinner time. I pulled out my phone and started the voice recorder.
She pitched us in making her curfew later...to 12:30 or sometimes to 1:00 am.
What are her reasons?
She wants to practice time management before she goes to college in a year and a half.
How do Mark and I respond?
We have similar responses however we do disagree in some parts of this. With that being said, curfew is a struggle for us because Addison does not always have a set plan of what her friends and her are doing. We do not want her driving all around town at night so how do we come up with an appropriate curfew time?
She has to have more of a solidified plan of what she is doing in order for us to be comfortable making her curfew later. And it depends on what is happening the next day as well.
Listen in as to what we decide.
Our goal is to make sure everyone is feeling good at the end of the conversation, to avoid anger and frustration, and to keep navigating JOY in our household.
Please share this with ONE person who you know will take value in this. Someone who has teens or will soon have teens and wants to hear how we navigate these conversations.
Please share with us your thoughts, ideas and feedback!
We all learn from each other as PARENTING IS HARD!!!
