Curfew at 22?

Unfortunately this is his home. I know I had lived out of my parents house for 3 years and when I moved back in with them right before I was married I had a curfew. I hated it but it was part of the deal of them letting me live at home for free. I sucked it up and dealt with it. If it's really that awful, move.

You are an adult who is old enough to vote, drink, drive, smoke, marry, have children etc etc.

You have left school and left childhood he can not tell you what to do. It is however his house and he can have rules and standards if he is in work and you are noisy coming in and waking him up then he has a reason to ask you to be quiet, come in earlier, or don't come home that night if you tell him first so he doesn't worry.

You say you work so I presume you pay some kind of rent/keep towards household expenses in this way you are similar to a lodger and not a child being supported. This is especially the case if you help with household chores. You are an adult but you also have to act like one.

If you can't compromise with him then move out and into your own place or shared accomodation that will allow you to compromise with flatmates.

You are an adult!!

If you have a full time job why do you want to still live at home? So you can have a LOT more spending money. Its time to grow up all the way and move out and pay your own bills.

I moved out at 18 because I worked full time and wanted to live with my boyfriend. I would never have told my dad at any age I was living in his home, I was breaking his rule, and then expect him not to be upset just for giving him a few days notice.

I don't like that he locked you out or called you a liar. however, if you are gonna live at home, he gets to make the rules. Get your behind home on time or move out. Sorry.

Until i moved out at 22, i had a curfew of 1am at my parents house.

It sucked, but i was living there free of charge while going to school and working.

Deal with it.

My parents tried the same crap when I was 19...that was understandable, but at 22? I was already engaged by 22 and thats usually a time when people are out of college and entering the real world. See if you can talk to your dad rationally and make him see that your an adult.

Thats ridiculous. But it is his house. Maybe try and sit down with him, tell him that it is fair for you to let him know if you will be sleeping out, but that you should be able to come and go if you please. If he cannot let you be your age then I think you might need to move out on your own, and show him that you are a capable adult. Good luck.

TWENTY TWO?! I moved out with a full time job at 17. Get your act together. They're treating you like a kid because you're acting like one. If you have a full time job, stop mooching and start packing.

As my dad always said, his house, his rules. That's why I moved out at 19...

Sounds like it is time to find your own place. I did that at 22 when my parents rules were getting to me.
