Well, it will teach them obedience, responsiblity and keep parents minds a little more at ease. I had curfews for all 3 of mine and they didn't give me any problems. Even their friends liked the fact that we enforced a curfew because they said their parents could care less where they were at.

yes because the kids are in the house, they aren't outside after dark doing mayhem and getting arrested by the cops.
