This past year our youngest child started college (after doing a year of seminary).
She came home for a long weekend in October. Motzei Shabbos she was going out with friends. When asked when she’d be home she replied by 1AM. She was told she had an 11:30 curfew.
But daddy, the curfew in the dorm is 1AM.
My reply, when you come into the dorm after midnight you don’t disturb your parents. Here we don’t fall into a deep sleep until you are in safely and the doors locked and all lights out.
As the iconic 1950s TV show title read: Father Knows Best.
You may not agree with every rule some other parent makes, but unless abusive or illegal, we do get to set the rules in our own homes.
