What should I do I dont want to hurt my grandmothers feelings?

I am a 20 year old guy and due to recent events I had to move out of my old house

and I have 2 options

Move in with my aunt who lives with her long time boyfriend they have a big house 4 bedrooms three bathrooms and its only them and her boyfriend already said I could move in if I want

or live with my grandparents they have a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom and its only 2 of them

now my dilemma is I had to move immediately and my aunt and her boyfriend were out of town so I moved all my stuff to my grandparents house and am sleeping here tonight,

My grandma even cleared everything out of her office room for me and well she really wants me here only problem is shes kinda strict and she expects me home at like 10pm all the time

My aunt doesnt really care what time I come home or whatever I will have more freedom there

my grandma said if I wanna leave she will be fine and it wont hurt her feelings and I dont know what to do now I wanna leave but shes really excited and I know she will be sad if I leave

Update:

I do visit my grandparents regularly im here everyday

I didnt have the best parents so my grandparents and my aunt basically raised me

Update 2:

trust me even 12 is to early

I sometimes dont make it home until 5am on the weekend not often but it does happen

    Don't fully unpack and get too comfortable.

    Be honest and tell your grandmother that a 10pm curfew is too early for your lifestyle and rather than make her worry herself sick because you won't be able to maintain a 10pm curfew that you will be moving in with your aunt as soon as possible. Make no excuses and give no other reasons because it is all on her with her silly curfew. I respect her wishes because it is her house, but 10pm is sometimes impossible to make it home on time. What if you were an hour drive away? You would have to leave at 9pm to make it home by 10pm? Nah.

    It's obvious that you should be living with your aunt, and visiting your grandma often. Bring up the 10 pm situation with your grandma, and explain that as she is unhappy with you coming in later than that, then she is going to be constantly uneasy, because you won't be able to stick to it. Give her a present (flowers or a plant?) for allowing you to stay, and tell her that you'll be moving over to your aunt's house, and will visit her often.

    This isn't answering your question. However, I would stay with your grandparents. It's good to have limits and someone who cares. You need a good role model. Don't ruin your life. Who stays out until five? successful people? It sounds Like you have a great future with a good head on your shoulders. Good Luck

    I would say your grandmother would appriciate it more because they would want to spend the most time with you.

    Tell her you love her but she's too strict.
