Now here is where to child and parent could and should talk even if the parent is not going to change thier minds. Its not that fact that the child can change what the parent said but that he can understand why and if its discussed then if the rule is unfair the parent is more likely to see that and change it to more suite whats going on.

Been here, done this, caused nothing but problems. 17 year old does not think the reasons hold water. Continues to argue, bitch and moan. Just better to not go down that whole road sometimes. Sometimes parenting is just making a decsion and not giving a better reason than "because I said so." When you get to this point in your life, you will remember this thread and smack yourself in the forehead, because then you'll get it.
