Thank you, I will let my 18 year old son read this post so he can prepare to find his wife in a non-Westernized country, lol. I am half joking, but if you don’t respect your parents you won’t respect your husband.

isn't it kind of weird to have a curfew on someone who has graduated high school?


Not if they are living in your house

Don't care if someone is 50 years old if they are living at my house

My 5 yo told me I was ruining her life. And then a hour later she was helping me cook dinner and laughing.

My parents act like fricking children to this day. I have to be the adult with them. And I try to remember that with my kids. I’m the adult. I can’t take their words out of anger to heart. They don’t know, they’re growing.

Also, she is 17 and is legally a minor and their responsibility.

8 years old?

My 9 year old worships the ground I walk on. You’re failing as a father if your 8 yr old is already thinking you hate her.

And I discipline her plenty.

She graduated high school, you did something right.

If she was going to college in three months, you would not know what she is doing.

You can loosen the reigns or she can cut the reigns. Hopefully you taught her well.

Mine and I got along fine.

She and her mother were like gasoline and an open flame. Constantly fighting over trivial shite. They're better, but they still dust up every now and then.

Not really. She hung out with friends all weekend, going to graduation parties and the lake. We gave her space.

She turns 18 in July and we will likely loosen up the reigns.

Her 18 year old friend and her have been friends since third grade. Her friends bf ( where they were going to crash) is 20, with his buddies close by. Not happening.


I wouldn’t have liked my parents with this line of thinking either.

This board: “I fricked 100 chicks by the time I was 18! How do Gen Zers have so little sex?”

Also this board: “A 17 year old can’t be trusted to stay out after 11.”

She can have sex pretty easily without calling you or spending the night anywhere.

Yeah I'm not sure why she does it. She worships me until I get upset at her about something and that is always her first response to me and my wife. Very aggrevating and we have tried correcting her about it over and over.

Mine is also 17, but still in HS. I had friends that were 17 in college. I guess I'd probably deal with post HS a little bit more lax as long as she's not being totally stupid.

My 14 year old went to the school where I teach. She liked to come hang out with me at lunch to talk about her day. Straight As, won art contests this year, yearbook, and school "ambassador". She is going to Baton Rouge High next year with four HS credits already under her belt.

My eight year old... Yeah, she may end up puling a swtichblade on me. She is currently punished for feeding a piece of foam to the bearded dragon.

Daughters steal your heart.

Then they break it harder than any woman could

My 5 YO daughter has repeatedly promised over the years that I will always be her best friend. I asked specifically about middle school, and she promised to be my best friend then, too. I think I’m good.

Telling her no is the right thing. Giving in would be the lazy thing

If children were born as teenagers we'd throw them off cliffs.

They are born sweet and helpless and make you love them so that when you get to the teenage years you don't kill them.

It's nature. If they stayed little we'd never let them leave.

I sent my youngest stepson off to the marines yesterday. Bittersweet

They are the most frustrating years of parenting, but also the most important for you to keep them from screwing up too badly.
