<p>So I'm going to be turning 20 in early January, and my parents don't let me go out often and late when I'm back home for breaks. My mom thinks that it's too late for me to come home on a WEEKEND past 11pm, so whenever I go out I'm usually back home around 10, which honestly I think is ridiculous. Before passing judgement though, hear me out. I'm a second year college student, and I go to a school that is over 400 miles away from home. I'm forced to do my own laundry, cook, clean, run errands, etc, which is what I should be doing, and my parents expect me to handle everything on my own when I'm up at school, which is fine because like I said, it's what I should be doing and it's a part of growing up, but when I come home they treat me like a little kid. It honestly pisses me off how they expect me to be home before 11pm. I'm almost 20. I'm not here to whine, and I understand that as my parents, to a certain extent I should listen to them because they provide me with food, pay for my education, give me a roof over my head as well as love and support. But it's so frustrating that they try and impose these curfews on me whenever I come home for breaks and holidays. They won't buy me a car, they won't even insure me (even though I've had my license for 2 years) because they don't want me to drive, and on top of that I can barely even go out. I ALWAYS text my parents when I'm out and give them a ballpark estimate of when I think I'm going back home as well as what I'm doing, and if I think I'll be coming home a bit later than stated, I give them a heads up. I don't have sketchy friends, I don't drink, I don't smoke, and I have no interest in doing things that could even be potentially illegal. All I want to do is hang out with friends until past 11pm and not have them get upset at me or try and impose a curfew on me.</p>
<p>This might sound petty, but honestly this makes me resent my parents and makes me not want to come home for breaks. I love my parents and will always be thankful for everything they have provided me with, but I feel tied down and it's so frustrating.</p>
<p>Am I being unreasonable or immature? What do you guys think is a reasonable curfew? Is this something I should sit down with my parents and have a serious conversation about?</p>
