All parents want is for their kids to be healthy and safe. To ensure this, they’ll set rules or boundaries that make sure their children aren’t, say, out too late or doing anything dangerous.
But that doesn’t guarantee that their kids won’t break these rules. When one teen wound up staying out far past his curfew, he fessed up immediately upon arriving home to his mom’s Ring doorbell camera.

A hilarious moment was captured on a woman’s Ring doorbell.
With the star of the show being her own son!
Josh Draper, an 18-year-old from Leigh, Greater Manchester, spent a Saturday night out on the town drinking with some friends. His mother, Suzi, set a 9 PM curfew, but he didn’t return until much later.
He strolled back home close to 6 AM the next morning.
He seemed pretty casual about it too, waving at his home’s doorbell camera, and easily confessing that he was “a couple of hours late.”
“Hello. Right. Listen, Mum – I know you wanted me home at 9 PM but it’s currently 5:56 in the morning, so I’m a couple of hours late.”
He swears he’s not drunk.
“But that’s fine, because I’m not drunk. I’m going to go to bed, and you can wake me up at like 3pm. Yeah? Sweet.”
He was, in fact, woken up at 9 AM by his mom. He told the Daily Mail , “I woke up the next morning with no memory of it, and then thought my mum was going to kill me but she was just laughing.”
The funniest part? It happened again the next weekend.
Another night out, another coming home late, but this time he was much more forward about it.
“Hiya Mumsy, I’m home. It’s half four in the morning, so I’m quite early,” he said, “I’m so [expletive] pissed though. Jesus. [Expletive] leathered mate. See you in a bit.”
Luckily, his parents seem pretty chill about the whole thing.
“It’s the best purchase my mum’s ever made, it’s brilliant,” Josh said, referencing the doorbell camera, “I always leave a little message now whenever I come in from a night out.”
“Parents could be up until six in the morning worried sick, so if they get a notification on their phone saying their son or daughter came home at a particular time then it’s great.”
It’s also clear they’ve instilled some good morals in him.
“I think it’s really important to be honest. I’d recommend it for people my age living with their parents -[…],” he said, “It gives you something to look back on and think ‘that night was worth it’ – although Mum did wake me up at 9am to walk the dog.”
