What age were your teens when you stopped waiting up for them to come home at night?

Just that! When can I go to bed with my phone next to the bed and trust my teenager to get home safely?

Please don’t say 18 or never! (Mine is about to turn 16 and one of us still always collects him or waits up if he’s getting himself home.)

Hahaha I live overseas and when I’m back in the Uk my mum still won’t go to sleep until she hears me come in when I’m out. I’m 45.

I'm afraid I’ve always just gone to sleep. Ds is a cautious person, and I don’t expect him to get into trouble.

Well my DS is 17 and I’m afraid I have no trouble going to sleep if he’s out late. The deal is that he send a text if his plans change, and he keeps Find my iPhone turned on.
