"My house, my rules" actually end? I've just turned 20, still living at home while I'm at university, and it's seriously starting to bug me. Not the room cleaning moans, or things like that, but the "You can't have a social life because I'm at work tomorrow" rule.
Went out for the course Christmas do last night, thought I'd be home at about 11-11.30. Was told, "OK, but you can come home when you're ready, you don't always have to be in early." from my granddad (live with mum, her parents, and brother). Mum on the other hand thinks for a party that starts at 7, I should be in for 9 (she never actually SAYS it, just says "Don't be out late").
So off I pop, and by 11, we've not even done the course awards, so I wait it out. Long story short, I get home at 12.45 to be greeted by my granddad, the same man who said to go and enjoy myself, ripping my head off due to the time.
OK, yes I was a lot later than planned, but he offered to wait up for me so the dog didn't bark, and he did say to go and enjoy myself. Feel like I'm getting serious mixed signals, don't really ever want to go out again now
I go out maybe 4 or 5 times A YEAR where I stay out late, I usually have to wait til I go away with mates or uni, because I'm so worried about going home.
I just wonder, when am I going to be allowed to be what I'd call a normal student???
Probably when I move out after uni.
All is calm today, haven't seen my mum yet though, really worried about talking to her I'll probably end up grounded or something
Sorry, just needed a rant really, feeling a bit helpless because I'm on an intense course where at the moment I can't get a job, so I can't earn money, so I can't move out
