Aw, come on, weren't you ever a teen? Teens date are known to break curfews (especially in the summer when school is out) and there is very little parents can do! "

There is a lot a parent can do. A parent can be a parent from the day the child is born and set down rules to be followed or else there are consequences. A parent says be home at midnight, you are home at midnight. You break the curfew you face punishment. It's not too tough unless you are a crappy parent. " Kids are going to do what the want" is no argument. It's lousy parenting.

Alright, how many of you have actually RAISED teens...I had the experience (thank goodness its over as both are grown) of raising two teenage daughters. Both happen to be very beautiful so, unfortunately, both were very popular and many times both broke curfew and got punished.

Right, just ask President and Mrs. Bush, about their "perfect" twin girls, Jenna and Barbara who've NEVER caused them one moment of grief ...
