How to talk with your parents bout curfews.

Question

I am 16 years old,yes I am still a minor. Recently I have graduated high school with a 4.3 and I started nursing school last year. I just started my summer vacation about 2 weeks ago. My mom still trys to put a 11 o'clock curfew on me and I keep trying to remind her, yes I am 16 but I am in collage and all my friends are quit a bit older and don't come home at 11.It seems to always get in the way of what were doing because we have to leave around 10 to get me home on time..its redicilous. She wants to have a talk about the whole curfew situation,which it never works but how can I point out to her that I am in collage and its time for her to let go and give me more freedom with out making her to mad.

Answer 1

I would say listen to your mother.  You've no business hanging with 18 year olds, no matter how smart you are, you have no experience.

But to answer your question, the way I did it was coming in late.  No talking to my parents, ever, about anything.  But I'm a dude and your a gal.  Not being sexist or anything, but there is a difference.

Answer 2

if you live under her roof, it's her rules.

sorry.

Answer 3

WOW...sixteen and in college..GOOD JOB.

U just need to remind her that u r responsible, and show her that u can watch urself, remind her all the successful things that uve done, and just point out that ur not a kid any more, and u want to be let off ur leash every once in a while...U should be able to convince her....hopefully.!!

Good Luck!

Answer 4

Bring up how responsible you are! Not a lot of sixteen year old's are in college. Point out the fact of how you graduated already with great grades and how she can trust you. Then point out the fact that you deserve to have fun and you can't have fun with an 11o'clock curfew because all your older friends stay out longer and you're ruining their fun because you need to get home. Make her proud of you first, then lay on the guilt trip. Works like a charm.

Answer 5

you are an idiot !!!!!!! collage is spelled college if you were there you would know and nursing school seems like a vocational program ................your mom is always right listen to her you might learn something she is always right .............would you rather have the police contact her and say we found your daughter , naked , raped  and strangled in a dark alley ...........she does not want that .......neither do i honey ..........be a good girl you have time go grow up!

Answer 6

Wow! 16 and already in college! dang, you must be smart! lol.

Just sit down with her and tell her that you think you are mature enough to handle a later curfew or none at all. I think she is being strict on your curfew cause she is a worried parent, like most. Make sure when you talk to her that you don't turn it into an argument. I hope I helped
