Is it normal that my parents don't let me stay out as late as I want?

  • I know exactly where you're coming from. My parents do the same thing and I'm 20. Luckily, I'm living away from home, but it's how you describe it when I'm home.

    I'm not sure if your parents have the same tendencies as mine, but if they do, they would wait up for you to get home every time you go out and make you confirm that you're home when you get there?

    If that's the case, a possible solution may just be to suggest a check-in sign on their door to let them know you're in so that they can sleep at normal times. Then if they get up in the middle of the night or even the next morning, they know that you're in and safe. No more worries.

    • Sounds like yes, we have the same parents! ;) Heh, did the check-in sign work for you? Or how did you manage to work around the situation?

      Thanks for your help!

      • I had moderate success with the sign in idea, but I never really pushed it as I was leaving for college when it was actually even becoming an issue.
