Does your 17yo have a time to be home?

[Bestseller]

He's gone about 15 miles by train to meet friends. Went at 3pm, to be back for 9pm. I've just had a text saying theyre staying out and not to wait up he has a key. Last train is about 11pm

I have no idea why he thinks this ok, we're generally pretty clear about rules (there arent many but theyre clear and one of them is knowing where he is and when he will be back )and he knows not to push it.

However, he's almost 18 and maybe it's not my place to control when he gets in any more? And he did let me know, but it's a school night!

I have a 17yo and an older one. I don't have an issue with the time he came home, he kept you informed and you knew he was safe. I do have an issue with hanging around in a park in the dark and cold though. No good can come of that!

(Jealous of the bed stripping!)

That's the thing, I knew where he was but I didn't know he was safe, I knew he was hanging around in a dodgy park.

I've told him the only people in parks after dark are up to no good but he incredulous "except us!"
