i'm 15 and my parents are well strict about some things but i'm aloud out till about half 1.

We don't know why a 30-year-old OP lives with his/her parents. For all we know, OP is fully independent and his/her parents moved in with THEM due to heath or financial problems. In this economic conditions, it's not all that uncommon and we don't know the circumstances. That said, no matter why a 30-year-old lives with their parents, said 30-year-old is an adult. If you are living somewhere, you need to contribute to the household. If you cannot work or earn money, you need to make up for it by doing chores (babysitting/cleaning/yard work etc.) If the OP is paying rent/utilities/contributing to the household, they should have that amount of say. ex - I have a seven-year old. I am the adult, he is the child, and if anything goes wrong I am legally responsible. Because of that, I am entitled ot make the rules - if he wants to backtalk/explain himself/get defensive, I am never "talking over him" the rule is that if I start talking, he shuts up and does what I say until he's fully independent. As of now, our disagreements include whether or not he's staying at the table until I say (he will), whether or not he'll do homework (he will) and things like that. He doesn't have an opinion. A 30-yaer-old? Hs an opinion. However. When you live with someone (a spouse, a roommate, whatever) you do owe them some respect and that goes both ways. You make sure the people who live with you and care about you tell you where they're going, with whom, what you're doing, and for how long. This is so at the very least ,the people who are there when you are not can inform people who are calling for you so they can go find you. If you have a dependent (child/parent/etc.), and that someone is watching tha tperson, they ahve every right to know what you're doing. Ex - I am NOT going to babysit for you so you can go out and get drunk or do drugs or screw somone. I WILL babysit so you can work/do school stuff/volunteer/go to church functions. If you have osmeone they (parents) are watching, and you come home that damned late, you'll probably want to sleep in and 'recover' which means they have MORE time to watch the kid. That IS NOT mature on your part. If you were going on a rare outting with friends, I do sympathize. It's high time they treat you as an adult. I suggest proving how you are contributing to the household (if you pay them, get a receipt, show what you pay for cable/dsl/rent/gas etc; make a list of chores you do around the house, make a list of how ofen you go out). Also, it would help if you really did make it a rarity when you went out that late or wen tout at all. waht is wrong with having friends come over there? If you live with someone, they live there too. If they don't want people over at a certain hour, you need to respect that.

So your telling me your 30 and still live your parents? That's an FML for them

i agree with no 125. if it's 1 or 2, i sympathise. if it's 3, move out already, will you

you deserved it if you're still living with your parents. rofl :)

You don't take shit from your parents when you are 30, unless you are living with THEM.

so get a life and move out.

your shit stick,

30 and still living with your parents? Weird....

i don't think he lives with his parents... My older sisters are close to thirty and they come home every once in a while for a big party and during vacations. I'm usually assigned DD so I'm picking there drunk asses up around 2 or 3 in the morning. My parents don't give a fluck. Either way your life suckkkkkkkkks if they yelled at you for comeing home drunk
