Do yours have a set time? My step son is a freshman and shares a room with his younger brother. Usually we get the younger kids in bed by 8:30 and let teen stay up reading in his room until he falls asleep.
Lately he's been complaining and saying he wants to stay up and not have to be in his room. We like to have some down time to talk and watch things that we wouldn't with him around.
We are usually tired and want to have some privacy and quiet.
We told him he could stay up if he goes in the basement which isn't finished. Part has carpet and futon and TV. Think that's fair? He told us it's a horrible idea.
They stay up as long as they want at their moms on weekends. All he does is read or play his iPod so I don't know why he needs to be up with us.
We don't want a TV in our room and don't want to move DVD and wii in there because then kids couldn't use it.
Any ideas and what are your rules?
