And, if there is a rule, there is a reason for it, that is clealry understood. Throwing out an arbitrary curfew doesn't seem to be very well thought out. Discussing and adhering to an appropriate time to be home, on a case by case basis, helps them set the limits themselves, and gives meaning and intent to the *rule*.
I also wonder about the parents' lives that they have nothing better (for the lack of a better way to descibe it) to do than visit their adult offspring every single weekend for 3 days.

my hometown had a curfew many years ago when a riot broke out near the downtown, i don't think that's still in place.
I don't think that I had a set curfew when I was a teen.

If this were facebook, I'd like your post twice, Chris!
When Erica was in San Francisco at college, we never went to visit her.
