Ok, so this was a story told to me by a teacher at work because we were talking abotu parenting and teaching your kids to make good decisions.
When her daughter was 19 she was in college, but still living at home. She often would go out with her friends and stay out until 3am or later. Her mom told her that as long as she was living in her house she would be getting a curfew of midnight and if she planned on coming home later she would need to find other sleeping arrangements.
Well, one night she came home late because her gf's were all out of town and she was out with a boy. She tries to open the front door but it's chained shut and neither parent will open it when she knocks. She ends up going into the garage and sleeping in the car with a thermal blanket for warmth (it was about 40 degrees outside in the garage)
A very big part of me says wtf kind of parenting is this, but everyone else there (who are currently parents of teens) said this was the best idea ever because the girl never stayed out past curfew again.
What say you?
