I had to be home by 2 on non-school nights by 2, midnight by weekdays. Friends weren't really over past 8pm unless it was for school. I did spend quite a bit of time at my girlfriend's house in the evenings. But I was out of the house only a few months after turning 18.

In other news, I just booked my flight for this Saturday morning to go pick up my new car. Yay for boost!

Thanks guys. I just wanted to make sure. We think he's pissed at us and avoiding us because we told his GF isn't allowed over any longer. To many times shes been here after 11pm on a weekday.

Being the failed experiment child among us 5 kids...once 17 hit...I had no curfew. I stayed out all night, most days and was generally just a punk ass kid. However, even in the days of pagers and knowing pager code like it was a 10 key on a keyboard...I managed to keep my mom in the loop of where I was and if I was coming home.

I came home tattooed at 16 when she told me not to, drunk on several occasions and she even caught me taking bong rips in my room once and she said she was going to take my car keys from me. I told her she could try. Yeah I was that kid. But I still stayed in touch. I never brought dudes home since the dude I was with was in the military at the time and they hated him anyway. I never asked to have him stay over because I never wanted him to. I had stayed at his place a couple times but I was moved out by the time I was 22. He just stayed at my place with me anyway.

One thing to consider....if they are at your house, even if passed 11pm on a weeknight, they AREN'T in a parking lot somewhere. Just sayin. It may not be what you want under your roof, but it does prevent the irreversible that can occur where you can't control it.
 
Cory and I moved out together when I was 18 and she was 20. We knew what kind of realonship we wanted and knew it couldn't be that living at home. My son however doesn't get it. He thinks that everyone just has to accept them because they're together.

Were the odds against you guys when you first met as far as parents are concerned? Were you a little rebellious because family was against you?
 
No kids that old yet but for me I never had girls over that late and if I wasn't home by x time I wasn't allowed in. so I would be spending the night elsewhere.

Snuck Lots of shagging in during the day time tho :/ oh gawd my girls are going to grow up.

None the less I grew up pretty fast graduated highschool by 17 was out of the house by 18 home owner by 20. 16-18 I was a real dick to my parents I appologize to them on a regular basis.

But, a big middle finger for every teacher that wrote me off as a pot head. (I don't smoke any more)
 
No her dad was a dick thats all. He stopped providing everything food for his kids, but still had money to take his girlfriend out. :rolleyes:

Its more of if I want to lay in my bed with my GF all day, then I should have my own place to do that. Not do it at my parents house with my little brother and sister around.

I didn't bring my gf over that late, but especially in the summer I spent a lot of late nights over at her house. Her mom didn't care if I was there and even allowed me to sleep over (most of the time on the couch downstairs). My parents pretty much always knew I was there and would call me if they wanted me to come home.

Considering i am still kinda in this situation (albeit in single just now)

My dad doesn't care what I do, where I go, when I'm home

When I stayed with my mum however it was a case of if I'm going to be out past midnight I was to text her and tell her that.

And I NEVER had a girl over to my house when any of my parents/family were home! Couldn't be bothered playing a million questions with my mum.
Although none of the girls lasted long enough to take them to meet
Mum anyway haha :lol:
 
Ryan and I were completely disapproved by both sets of parents. My mom wouldn't let me see him and his parents suggested to my mom that we be separated. We snuck out to see eachother, got busted multiple times...it was just a catastrophe at every turn. We have literally been through everything a couple could possibly go through after 18 years of being together. EVERYTHING. After he came home and got married in 2006, it was like a victory. We won. We beat the odds and were finally accepted after everything. My mom said something to me a few months ago about it...I said "yeah and look how that would have turned out. You would have no grandkids or a son in law that you adore more than me." She said "true story." :lol:
 
Yeah I'm not trying to push him away from his GF because that will only make him run to her. I just want some common respect!

Get off my lawn damn kids!


In other news, replace the AC accumulator in Nikki yesterday. Now I'm going to Jiffy Lube to have it charged.

Would he be receptive if you spoke to him about it? Perhaps something to the degree of, "get your head out of your ass and lets agree to mutually respect eachother....? She can come over but understand that we work and there are small children in the house. We need to keep everything PG rated and set an example for them."
 
We have many times. Which is why its so frustrating. He's good for a week, then it stops.

AC in Nikki is fixed. Holding a charge and is ice cold.

Give him a kick in the bollocks and tell him it happens again he's out and cut off money wise

I used to be a pain in the ass until I got that ultimatum
 
Chris I am with you. I have a 19 yr old as of today that needs to get his priorities straight REALLY fast. Life is about to rare it's ugly head and he needs to start running! :lol:

My wife's grandfather died this afternoon. Diagnosed with acute pancriatus Friday and admitted to icu, downhill from there.

Dw has been at the hospital all day I left work to tend to the kids.. She's on her way home now.

:(

I wasn't close to him but she was. Hurts to see her hurt.
 
Man, that's a bummer Richard.

:(



Being in the bay area I've noticed they have no tolerance for wind up here. The people in the office were complaining about how they couldn't sleep Sunday night, I didn't even notice it. Those who've spent time in SoCal know the kind of wind I'm talking about, 50mph sustained winds are just a breeze. :lol:

I always did a good job of keeping my mom in the loop of where I was and when I would be home. I still do that if I'm spending time at their place. If I didn't mom literally could not go to sleep and that made me feel bad.

I had my GF over too late regularly. My dad asked me multiple times to have her gone by 10, but he was usually asleep by 9:30, so the curfew got bumped to 5:25AM cuz mom woke up at 5:30 lol

Now I'm 27, engaged to a strong Christian, and I have a curfew. I have to be gone by the time the bars close.
