I am after some guidance and to see what others think or do about "almost adults" and the hours they keep.
We have dss living with us now (he is just 17) and tends to stay out quite late of an evening.
Now this isnt an issue as such and I understand he is pretty much a man BUT it disrupts the household. We have 2 small children (under 6) and us (DH and I) and a small house (3 bedder) and we go to bed pretty early. (at least by 10).
So each evening we are woken by him coming in and then we all get up and almost have tpo "creep around" as he doesnt get up until later (maybe midday).
So what do other people do with their kids that age? Do you have limits on when they should come in? Is that unreasonavle for a 17 year old? What is your solution?
