curfew
on school nights, i have a strict curfew of 9 o clock, 9:30 at the latest. and usually if i was a little late, my parents wouldn't mind, but i got into a bit of trouble recently, and now my parents are really hammering the whole "be home on time" thing. problem is, the person i hang out with the most, his dad has ADD to the max, and most of the time doesnt take his medication. whenever i'm over there, he takes absolutely NOTHING serious, and could care less about my curfew. i keep trying to tell him "i'm late, i need to be home NOW" but it just won't get through his thick skull. even my friend tries to tell him that i have to be home by a certain time, and when he'll act like he's fixing to walk out the door, he'll start watching TV or playing with his puppy or take FOREVER to put his shoes on, and this keeps getting me into trouble! i was supposed to be home at 9:15 tonight, and walked into the house at 9:48. this is getting ridiculous and i'm getting in trouble. what can i do to make him realize that he needs to get me home at a certain time or i'll have my head bitten off?

either ask your parents if they could pick you up. Or ask his father to take you home sooner than 9:15 ask him at 8:30 or even 8 olock.

If you have no place to hang out other than this friends place, I'd advise you to start telling the dad you have to be home an hour before you actually have to be home. Then, even though it takes him forever to get around, you'll maybe get home on time.

if i am understanding this situation correctly- your friends father has ADD and requires medication. You saqy that he doesnt always take said medication, which causes him to not take things seriously while your over at his house-including when you and your friend say that you need to be home at a certain time. Hmm, it may be time to change where you and your friend hang out after school. Unless you are willing to speak to your parents which probably isnt a good idea if they dont know that this father who is supposed to be brining you home doesnt always remember to take his meds. You may just have to start hanging at your house from now on.
