Remeber, they are just trying to protect you and your innocence.
It's a fragile age, the transition between child and adult.
As always with relationships, the best thing to do is talk about it. The more you have an adult conversation with a parent, the more they will treat you like an adult.
Again if you start earning a wage a pay a contribution to the house, it demonstrates your shift towards being an adult.
It's about being open with your parents and earning trust.
Don't take it too hard. They just wanna make sure your not coke'd out your face at 5am with 4 dicks in you at a club toilet.
If you don't like the rules Get yourself a really good paying job wait save up for a whole year and get yourself an apartment. Believer it feels good when you worked hard and you don't have to ask no one for anything. If your stuck living with parents they will always tell you what to do. Maybe try looking with soen friends to share an apartment together. Thinking about at your agentry working two jobs and build your wealth. You can work two retail jobs to make it work. Now apartments with the with the inflation it's expensive $1550 is the cheapest you will find. And what about college maybe you will save more cash staying with parents.

i have a good job just no one would lease me a apartment
Yes, UNLESS you are contributing to the rent. Legally, you're an adult, but if you aren't forking over the cash for rent to prove that, they are definitely allowed to say what time they want you home. It's best not to fight this battle especially as you just recently turned into an adult human. If it is such a bother, definitely get a job and/or save up to get your own place, then your house, your rules!
Legally, you can do whatever you want. However, "my house, my rules" still applies, so if you are living in your parents home, then you are obliged to live by their rules. After all, if you are 18 now, they can kick you out of the house - something they couldn't do when you were 17.
They won't if you can't pay 1st and 2nd, a security deposit, and your application shows that your other expenses plus rent do not equal a reasonable income to expenditures ratio. These days, trying to evict someone can be expensive, especially if they refuse to leave.
They shouldn't be. That is crazy controlling. My parents tried having rules for me when I was 18. It didn't turn out well. I got kicked out and broke off contact with them for a long long time.
Of course they can if you're living in their house! You want all the privileges of being an adult but you don't want any of the responsibilities. You're still a child and subject to their rules. Get your own place and then you can make your own rules.
Yes. So long as you live in your parents' home, they have the right to set rules. You can, and should, have a chat with them to set a reasonable curfew time.
Legally no. Unfortunately they can put whatever restrictions on your nightlife as long as you are living with them as long as your not paying rent. Depends on what they will do if you don't listen? Not a whole lot they can do.
i mean if you're still living with your parents, they can't tell you when to be home. but they could legally find a workaround by setting up house rules you'd have to follow which you could only avoid by moving out.
I for one think any person adult or not should always be common sense - dark hours bring out the bad apples and criminals in my mind - 😞😞 lol It's why I'm often not out after dark 😆

If they're paying your bills, yes. If not, no. Just like with any other relationship. If someone is paying for you to live, they get to dictate the terms.

To be clearer, I moved out at 18 and my parents had zero control over my life ever again after that. I was an adult who paid my own bills. In states like Texas, you can even do this at 17.
My wife was always told by her mother "my house, my rules". Well now my mother in law lives with us and my wife is like guess what bitch "my house, my rules" now clean the house and make us dinner! Lol
To some extent yes. You are still living under their roof and probably are being supported by them. But you should have more flexibility now that u are 18
Yes if you are living under their roof they can. And just because you are 18 doesn't mean you don't have to be careful I can attest to that being that I was held technically kidnapped and held hostage not once but several times.
Unfortunately if you live in their house, you have to follow their rules or move out. Or maybe have a talk and see if they are willing to realize you're not a child anymore.
