Answer 1

Its important to know how old you are.

My kids are 11, 6 & 3 No they do not get to stay up as late as tthey want...

Do they have sleepovers: Yes, do they go to sleep overs is another question, It really depends on where it is at, and only my 11 year old can but is VERY limited in that department.

Do they hang out with friends, if you mean wonder the town NO, they can have friends over during the day for a few hours and go to friends houses but not all the time and not for long periods of time...

My question to you would be have you done something to cause your parents to keep such a short leash on you? Or are they just very protective?

Answer 2

Well it all depends, how old are you?  Between ages 0-16: My rules would be as follows:

1.  do you let them stay up whenever they want? -  No they should be in bed by 12am. Unless they are having a sleepover

2.  do you let them have sleepovers? - of course. I rather have the kids at my house then my children somewher else.

3.  do you let them hang out with their friends? - of course, unless they break my trust.  

Is there a reason why your parents won't let you go out with friends? Have you ever lied to them or lose their trust?

Answer 3

Well i dont have a child as i am sure as old as you are but i was a child lol and i know what my parents allowed...i was allowed to go to sleepovers and have them...i was allowed to hang out with my friends and during the summers only i was allowed to stay up as late as i want...now your parents might have there reasons depending how old you are for what they are doing...maybe they want you to have a job earn some money for the summer instead of doing nothing....maybe they would like it if you did some stuff around the house allday while there at work and earn those privileges...maybe they just believe your friends are a bad influence....just some things to think about or ask them about

Answer 4

I have three different answers for you, because I have kids that are three different ages!

I'm going to use my 12-year-old as the main example here, since I'm guessing she's the closest in age to you (the other two kids are 18 and 6).

My 12-year-old is allowed to stay up as late as she wants in the summer, but she usually goes to bed at 10:00 or 10:30 because she is tired.  

Yes, she is allowed to have sleepovers, and to sleep over her friends' houses as well.  I usually only let her have overnight guests at OUR house on the weekends, because I work during the week.  

She is allowed to hang out with friends at their houses if I know the parents, and if they will be home.    She can have friends over at our house if I am home.

Hope that answers all your questions!

Answer 5

I'm 15 and I am allowed to do all of those because my parents trust me and I have never done anything to betray their trust. Prove to your parents that you're responsible and maybe they will let you do those things. Good luck. =]
