Apparently being 20 does not mean you can do whatever you want

[DramaQueen]

okay this is a vent, and i'm probably going to sound like i'm really immature but im soooooo pissed right now that i have to vent somewhere.

so i asked my dad if i could go to my friends house @ 9...he said no...I said why....he said no.
(it went on and on etc.) and then i asked if they could come to our house since for whatever reason im not allowed out of the house after dark. he said no....more argueing.

And I am just SO pissed off because I work EVERY day 9-5 and I have ONE day off and I want to go out with my friends (not even out to a bar, just to see them) and I'm apparently not allowed. And my sister, who is 2 years younger than me exactly one week ago went out with her friends from 10pm-1am....it just doesn't make any sense to me.

I didn't do ANYTHING to piss him off, he's just being so ridiculous.
Anyways.....vent over, you don't have to respond. I'm sure I sound like a brat but I'm just SO pissed because I get ONE day off tomorrow and I have to stay at home tonight and sulk.

Your a grown up. You should sit down with your dad and let him know how you feel :]

Same here!
Its been really hard on both of my parents to accept that I have grown up! Everytime I'm home its always their rules, ect ect. It gets super annoying and that is why I'm so grateful to have gone away for school.

Apparently I have this curfew and all this stuff. They don't like it when DBF and I have the door shut when he is here. I told them, like I'd do anything in our house! Sheesh! You never know who is going to walk in, at any moment. Also we have set that boundary as well.

But yeah I hear you. It does get quite frustrating at times.

My parents are the same way. I mean I live on my own for 8 months out of the year (and survive preeeetty well), but when I come home and I wanna do something, they are like "no!"

For example!!! When I asked to drive up to my BF's house, which is 2 hours away, for a weekend, and they are immediately like, "we don't think you can handle it"

And yet I'm allowed to drive down to the Jersey shore on the weekends, which is an hour and a half away...whenever I feel like it. PLUSSS!! I live on my own, make my own decisions 8 months out of the year, and they think I can handle that perfectly well.

But when it comes to driving 2 hours on a route that I've been on before, WITH A GPS in my car...that's impossible for me..

I'm right there with you Caitlin...I swear parents are more liberal with their kids when we are young and immature than when we are adults...ughh!

your 20 and your dad won't let you leave the house?

my fiance is 22. he graduated college in may. he paid his own cell phone bill.

yet when his mom got mad at him, she tried to take his cell phone away.

he gave it to her. then he went out and bought a new one, in his name.

its so ridiculous. he's a grown man who happened to live at home while he was going to college. but for some reason they treat him like he's still in high school.

they regularly go to a cabin they own, about three hours away. if he's gone when they come home, they get angry.

i don't pretend to understand it. he's just putting up with it until he and i move later in the summer.

same reason my parents blame me for everything my bothers do (not really but if I can't prove it's them than its' me)

I am 17 (in two days) and I have a father like no other. :l I am sure I am going to be just like you when I reach 20.
