You lucky DOGS! Mine was 10 until I was 18. 18 it was midnight, but after I graduated 3 months later, it just turned to whenever, as long as I woke my mom up when I came home. Man i hated that early curfew.... had to leave many a good party or hang out becuz of it...
Saying he'd let his son stay out longer than his girl is perfectly legitimate to me. A son you can trust to usually be with his buddies doing their own little guy thing. A girl could be out with some guy at his apartment or basement doing something a father wants none of... I know it's sexist, but it's just a father's protectionary view. I'll be doing the same thing once I have kids, unless the wife catches me and makes a roar about it...
