The official line was home by 11, but they don't really care as long as I text/call them first

[Oculist]

At 16 absolutely no restrictions if I was going somewhere - friend's house, party, pub etc. - but if I just wanted to wander around then I'd have to keep them updated.

I'm lucky enough to not really have a curfew...so long as my parents know where I am, who I'm with and what sort of thing I'm doing they're OK....oh and I need to text by like 11 if I want a lift back or if I'm staying out, so that they don't wait up until 2 if I'm not coming home...

On the subject of drink, my parents were like "If you got drunk it wouldn't be a big deal" which was kinda surprising. Bit redundant though, as I don't drink.

When I was 16 I pretty much did what I wanted to, they have always asked that I just let them know where I am and what my plans are - fair enough. I don't drink so that's never been an issue.

You guys are so lucky, my mum trusts me but not other people, hence why no matter how polite/ helpful I am she wont let me stay out late and go certain areas in the evening etc.. and im 17.. sigh

I never had a "curfew", but before I went out I had to say where I was going, who I was going to be with, what time I would want a lift home (would NEVER have been allowed to walk). I'm still not allowed to just go "out", I have to tell my dad as much of that stuff as I can. Usually I just make it up, but it's still a drag.
I'm 20 now. I've been at Uni for 2 years and for one term of that I was on another ******* continent by myself (exchange), but when I'm home, it's the same old story.

I never really used to go out so I didn't have a curfew, but when I started skiving from college and not coming home at the weekend, mum got a bit stricter..

Curfew was 12pm on weekends and 11pm on weeknights (this is when I was 18)

I'm 21 and living at home again after a year with my (now ex) boyfriend.. and she's made me a little sign which tells her whether I'm in or not

[concubine]

I have very relaxed and liberal parents, I guess it has something to do with me never going through the dickhead teenager stage and maturing far quicker than most but mostly down to them just being good parents. They are/were 'stricter' with my sister but then she is female, on the autistic spectrum and entirely lacking in common sense.


So no, never had anything like a curfew. Was going up to gigs on my own in London at 13/14 and coming back after 12pm and that was fine.

Haha, like Mrs Weasley in Harry Potter lol

I'm 24 now but when I was a teen I wasn't allowed out at all. Period. If they had suspected I'd had alcohol they would have been a lot stricter. I had to be home from school in half an hour so I didn't get up to any trouble. I wasn't even a trouble-maker, just the usual wanting to hang out with friends. So I didn't go out until I was at uni... and then totally rebelled so it defeated the purpose of parents being strict.

[Retro.spex]

Well I AM 16, but I've never had like curfews because I've never just gone out to just walk the streets. I'm basically allowed to go to where I want to go, as long as my parents know where I am and know what time I'm going to come back.

To be honest, I've never wanted to go out and just walk about on the streets anyway. I would rather go to the cinema, or at least window shop in town.

She was saying the exact same thing.. I said I'd try to make her one

Yup, it got me pretty down I snuck out the window a few times with my brother but only 3-4 times before they found out (shouldn't have made it so known in school, word got round lol) But yeah - I moved to a different country for uni (where they couldn't monitor me!) and went a little mad! My dad questioned me on it once and asked, "Did you plan on doing that (going out/drinking loads/not remembering nights) when you left home?" Well uh, yes!
