So, DD has prom on Friday. What to do about curfew?
I am going to extend curfew, but I have no idea to what time. Any suggestions?
If it matters, DD is going stag with a girlfriend...
I never went to prom so I am not sure what the norm is. :-(

Re: So, DD has prom on Friday. What to do about curfew?
Do they have a postprom party? After my prom we went to post prom (1-5am) then went home.
If not, when does prom end?
My son is 16 and in 11th grade, his prom is on May 16th and I've been wondering the same thing. I know prom gets over at 11.
My Jr. prom I ended up going stag and I didn't go to my Sr. prom.
I went to prom my senior year, I was 18. My parents let me stay at my boyfriends house (now DH). They called his mom who said she'd be sure I slept in his sisters room and got in at a decent hour (1am).
However, we never came home, we went to a friends house and slept in the same bed... but I'm not even going to tell you all the stuff we did prom night (it wasn't sex related though). Oy.
?Ditto.
After Prom should have a sign in/out sheet. ?So if in question of if she went, check with this. ? ?Some kids sign in, go, and then go party their pants off.
GL. ?We want to see pictures. ?:)?
When I was a senior, I was out all night and stayed at a friend's house.
When I was 15, I went to a prom but was home by 1am.
Well, she is a sophomore, so she isnt going to have the same freedom that a senior might have.
Oy. This is tough, LOL!
Only our Sr. prom has an after party which I think is weird because Jr's and Sr's share the same prom. So for Jr's there is no after prom party.
I'm thinking maybe 1 but I know his date's parents are more strict and really don't even want her going with Kevin (long story) so I'm wondering what they will come up with.
It's another one of those events I'm so excited about, but so nervous (like him getting his license soon).
Its giving YOU a cold sweat? You should see ME, I am having convulsions!
LOL I can imagine.
Ok, lets be calm. She's a good girl, as long as you know her plans for night and tell her she must check in with you. I say you should let her have a good time. You only get to do this once.
I would say that since she's a sophomore and it's not HER senior prom, no later than 1am.
The overnights and afterprom should wait until her senior year.

I would say at midnight. Or if she's going to an afterparty maybe 1am. Not 2 though! That's when all the drunks are on the road! That's what my Dad always told me and why he would never let me stay out until 2!
Liam is 5!
ditto.
my junior prom curfew was midnight. and that's the one were parents hosted an afterparty and everyone stayed up at one house. my sr prom, I had no curfew and most of our class headed to new orleans after the prom. our prom was on a boat. so we had to stay... we were offshore for a few hours. my sr one, I stayed at my bf's house overnight. not to freak you out or anything.
Could you get away with offering to have a SMALL after prom party at your house? Tell them you'll have lots of snacks and nice movies?
I'd ask her what they want to do after prom and if it's legit then I'd let her stay till that activity is over but if it's like "oh we're just going to see what everyone else is doing..." then I'd say she needs to come home right after.
My parents wouldn't have even let me go to prom as a Soph. They didn't like me mixing with older "more mature" kids.
