As the subject says really. What time do you think is a good time for 12/13 year olds to come in. We live in a small town and about a 20 min walk from the local park. My son and his friends which age between 12.13 and 14 all hang out at the local park on their scooters and sometimes in the town. I'm quite strict and he is my only one and in summer I said he had to come in at 8pm in the week and 9pm at weekends. He would tell me most of his Mates could come in at 10pm but I won't agree to that as feel he's too young. Now it's getting dark I want to change the 9pm to 8pm but he has the biggest tantrums when I suggest this. Saying he's the only one and all his friends can stay out later etc. it's a nightmare and just lately every day is a battle with him. so I just wondered what everyone else did with night time curfews. Am I being too strict? Also he wants to go to an under 18's nightclub in the next town which I've said no to and next year he can when he's 13. Agsin am I being too strict??
