[quote=Anonymous]I remember going through this the hard way my first summer back from college. After that, I always got a job and paid rent in someone's super cheap sublet.

I was (and still am, at 44 :) ) a good kid. But in college, I wanted to stay out late and I did. I slept in as I wanted. And I had a massive crush/boyfriend who I did not sleep with at home, but sometimes I stayed over at his place.

This put a great deal of stress on my parents who had to younger kids at home that they wanted to keep following their rules (curfews, sleeping at boys' houses, chores, schedules, participating in family weekend activities, and so on). So me coming back home all of a sudden wanting completely different rules apply to me rules threw off their game and the family dynamic. And after a big fight and cool-off discussion about it, I understood their point of view. It wasn't reasonable for me to think of my parents' and younger siblings' home as my dorm.  Because it wasn't. It couldn't be.
