That won’t happen in our home. The kids can do that in their own apartments someday. It was the same for us growing up, and I understood that back then as a child.That’s unfortunate for you and your children. It also sets the stage for unnecessary conflicts. Since the children also live there, they should have the same rights (appropriate for their age) as the parents—at least regarding friends and activities. Especially since with good planning, it’s possible to make sure EVERYONE is satisfied.M

@saerox89 .. that’s quite radical … I think it’s great when teenagers going through puberty take an interest in cooking and want to cook together with their friends instead of going out somewhere to eat fast food.Especially since the kids would just go elsewhere, and during the important teenage years, you wouldn’t really be able to keep an eye on who they’re with.

In our case, it was also an open concept. Because of that, I had to coordinate appointments with my parents, since they were often out.
But not just cooking—also for game nights, for example—you don’t sit in your own room but use the kitchen table.
In the end, it went like this: “Hey, we’ll be out next Saturday evening, just so you know.”
At my parents’ house it was open, and now it is for us as well, but without kids.
I always find it embarrassing when people use their own childhood as an argument (we didn’t have that back then), but now want to fulfill wishes for themselves that their parents didn’t have either. That is an outdated authoritarian approach.
