I would feel like I was in an alternate dimension if teenagers willingly went to bed at 10 pm.
Or a house with good parenting? Before I go to bed, which is generally around 11-ish, I check their rooms, and if they're texting or on the computer or doing anything besides sleeping, I'll take their phone or their computer monitor for the next few days. I've only had to do that once, for each one of them, and they learned their lesson. When you have a house with consequences for bad behavior, everyone follows directions.

Completely an unfair qualifier. You are not a better parent because you make your kids go to bed earlier than others.

Its not because I make them go to sleep earlier. You missed the point. My point was, when my children violate the rules I set, I react with a punishment. Unfortunately, that can't be said for alot of parents today. It's ashame.

I think it depends on the family and particular individuals involved. My teenage daughter has recently experienced some pretty severe consequences for her behavior, and the jury is still out on whether she's going to start following directions.

Well, I'm sorry to hear about that. But there are exceptions to every rule, you have to remember that.
