AlienParasite · Accepted Answer

When I was in primary school I usually had to go home for dinner time. Where I live that means beign home at 9pm. Between 12 and 15 I would be told to be at home at 12am like Cinderella. Between 15 and 18, I would get 2am (by slowly incrementing to 12.30, 01.00 and 01.30). I live in an not too big town in Spain. If I had been in a big city things would have been different, I suppose. Also if I lived in a different country with different schedules.

I had a curfew till the age of 21-22 which was really annoying when all my friends, who were also younger than me, had none... 😣
and it's not only that I had a curfew, if the curfew was let's say 11 o clock, I had to be there at 10:50. Otherwise my mom would call me and I knew she would be shouting in anger and afterwards be mad at me... I always dreaded those calls. 😓

Not really. I think it was obvious that it was supposed to be around 10 or 11 but sometimes i didn't come in til 3a. She was fine as long as she knew who i was witth. Then again she wasn't fine cause she stayed awake til 3am knowing she had to work at 6am

I had a bed time when I was a kid. When I reached my teens I never had a curfew. By 15, I was going on weekend camping trips with friends for 2-3 days with no adults. Realistically my parents had no idea if we really went were we said we went.

aicarg · Answer

When I was about 11-16 the rule was to always be home by 6 for dinner on a school night, and before the streetlights turned on for weekends. If I called my dad and let him know whom I was with, he was pretty cool with having me out and about as long as I had my homework done and kept up my grades.

Up to age 7 it was be home when it gets dark, which was aroun 6 to 7 pm.
After age 7 I could stay out as long as 10pm but had to check in first for permission.
