<p>Did this daughter just finish her freshman year of college? How old is she?
I would find it very disturbing to my own sleep patterns to have someone continually staying out till 3 or 4 am. Is she taking a summer class because she didn’t do well in a class her freshman year?
If so I would let her know that if she didn’t do well in the summer class I would not be paying for another year of college.<br>
I would probably also let her know that since her sleep patterns didn’t agree with mine she should make alternate arrangements for next summer.</p>
<p>She’s a good kid but she insists on staying over at her boyfriend’s house. She tells me she’s staying over at his house. His Dad allows this and that she’ll text me. I’ve told her this is unacceptable. Too bad. Any advce</p>
<p>This thread is THREE years old. Yes…a good topic but why not start a new thread.</p>
<p>My son came home after freshman year of college. He was an honors student in high school but flunked his college classes. He is 21 and works full time. He doesn’t go to bars but stays out till 3-4AM with his girlfriend almost every night. He helps with utilities and some food. Having to get up for work every day doesn’t seem to be a deterrent. I’ve told son that he’s disrespecting the girlfriend who is 19 and leaving a negative impression for HER parents. No luck so far. I usually can’t sleep when he’s out - I don’t like to give ultimatums but is it appropriate, at his age, for me to demand he’s home by 2 or go live elsewhere?</p>
