Maybe kids still need to be home by 2:30 to do chores on the farm? :)
Farm chores or how about a job so they’ll have a little experience when they turn 18.
If you’d ever been on a farm, you’d know farm chores begin before the break of day. The animals need breakfast just like you. They need milked and their stalls cleaned out and they need to be turned out. If you wait until 2:30, you’ll have sick animals and expensive vet bills.
