re: Teenager Dilemma

You obviously don't know anything about his friends.
The kind of kids he's hanging out with sound older and have families that don't care if they are out "riding around" past midnight. They sound like trash. Just know they are engaging in all kinds of risky behavior like smoking weed, drinking if they can get it, having sex, etc. And now your son is part of that crew.
And if you are OK w that (like some of the other posters on this thread), God bless.
I suggest you step into his life completely or your whole family is gonna regret it.

I had a driver's license and a vehicle at OP's sons age. My parents didn't know who I was hanging out with
I'm not saying it's a good idea for a 15 yr old to stay out all night either. But teenagers are going to test boundaries and figure out what they can get away with.

What? You forgot how old your own child is? That doesn’t even make sense.
And in what works is it normal for a 15 year old to go “eat with a friend” at fricking 12:30 at night? I know we are hard on our 15 year old sometimes, but holy shite if you’re the opposite end of the spectrum then I’m glad we do what we do. The 19 year old is one of the most responsible kids on the planet, and we would’ve never let her randomly go out at 12:30 at night, let alone not saying anything to us or without us knowing whom she was going with. What the frick are you thinking as a parent, man?

I feel like you're still missing the point.
When your young teenager left the house to go out with a friend... AT 12:30AM!

How on earth do you let a 14 year old tell you anything.
You’ve lost control and have no power anymore

What the hell? How does he come in that late without you calling? What the hell is his cellphone for? So its 4 AM and you're not calling him asking him where the hell he is? I don't care if 14 or 15.5 or 15.9999999999999999, this whole fiasco reeks of irresponsibility.

You need a foot up your arse for letting your 14 year old go joyriding around at 12:30 am

Break foot off initially and let him know shite like that ain't cool until he's 17. Then put him in a playful headlock, give him a noogie, and tell him he better have worn a rubber and not vaped the nicotine.

That's the spirit!!! Now you're talking. Deal with it and make sure there are consequences.
Don't let him use the family credit cards for three weeks.
That will drive him nuts and is a really tough punishment.

What did you think he was going to do when he went out after midnight? Late night game of Tiddley winks?

I probably grew up on the extreme end of the parental spectrum but I never had a curfew.
My parents were divorced and I lived with a single dad and he was just trying to keep it all together. I absolutely stayed out all night sometimes at 15. Not saying it's a great idea either.
We have a 15 yr old now and she's never out past like 9pm when she goes and hangs out at Perkins Rowe with her friends.

It sounds like you aren’t communicating clearly with him. Were you ok with him just walking out after midnight? If not, did you say so? When he goes out with friends, do you ask where he is going and when he will be back? He will respect you more if there are standards and expectations. You get to determine what they are, and he will respect you if you enforce them.

If you allowed him(14 yo) to go “riding with friends” at midnight then you can’t play disciplinarian when he comes strolling up at 8:30. You made the bed, now you have to lay in it.
Now you’re going to have to pull back on the reigns to reset expectations.
