My parents just told us we’d be grounded one day for every minute we were late. I’m a guy and never went out in high school, but my sisters made damn sure their boyfriends got them home on time.
Don’t have kids, probably never will, but I can sympathize with parents not wanting to be woken at 3am by an annoying teen. But also I recognize that is just what is going to happen.
My parents tried all sorts of things to get me to behave more like a responsible adult, and yet I behaved like an irresponsible teen. I just sucked up the punishment when I had to as a cost of doing business (and by business I mean staying out late on a school night)
I was barely in our family home from the age of 15+. Not because my parents were bad, but because it was what I wanted to do. My brother was home every night and in bed before midnight on weekends. I was the one saying “I’m going to a different city for the weekend, back Sunday night”
If they had punished me for it, I would have just done it when the punishment was over.
My parents made me regret coming late by being disappointed at me, not by threats.
Your parents didn’t shoot multiple partners of yours??
Next you’re gonna tell me your parents aren’t deers

Okay, and this is a comic strip, not an instruction manual
