Just interested in opinions really. DD has finished A Levels and is making the most of the summer before (hopefully) starting university. She's shifted her body clock and now doesn't get up until lunch time and is quite often up until the small hours.
We've said she can have friends round whenever she wants but we'd like them out by midnight. Starting to wonder if this is too rigid? During the week the argument was that, as everyone else in the house has to get up for work, we didn't want to be disturbed while sleeping. However, that argument doesn't hold true at weekends so I was wondering about saying they could stay until later then.
I should say that DD and her friends are not particularly loud, there's normally only 2 or 3 friends at a time, they chat or watch a film or play games mostly, they organise their own food and drink and they tidy up after themselves. So I'm talking about no disruption to the rest of the family and normal "moving out noise" not party level type disturbance.
Thinking about it now as the result of our "everyone gone by midnight" rule is that DD (when not "out out") is now spending all her free time at the houses of friends with more amenable parents. So wondering if our views were out of step?
