How to convince your parents to not have to meet the parents of the people you are spending the night at?

hmm. this was my family's rule, too. that didn't change until i moved out. either deal with it and give them the number for their parents to call them and talk, or just come home after the party. 18 means nothing in the eyes of a parent whose child still lives with them.

Well, you still live with them, so you're under their roof - they're rules. THey're just doing their jobs. Believe me, you want them to care and know where you are. At least you said you don't hang out with people who do drugs - but you did say you go to parties and stuff and stay out all night. You're not even 21 yet. They're just concerned about you. They may know you're a good kid and that's great - maybe it's everyone else they're concerned about. Be grateful you have parents who love you enough to be concerned. It sounds like you're a responsible kid as a result of their work in parenting you.

Parents have difficulty letting go. I had to talk with my parents about that kind of thing when I was 18. At that point, you have to respect their rules, but they need to respect how that you're not a child anymore. By their actions, they are telling you that they don't trust you to make your own decisions. Remind them that while you accept their rulings, plead the case that you need to learn to make your own decisions and point out that you'll be in college soon and have to make these choices all on your own then. At that point, they won't know who you're with ever.

If you want to be treated like an adult, you have to behave like one. Living with your parents gives them permission to treat you like a child.

haha i deal with the same thing, theyre gonna kill when they find out im pregnant because thats kinda how it happened by sleeping over my bfs house.. but anyways i wouldnt lie, just talk to them and say his parents will be home later and they can call later. and then get a friend to call or just say they forgot

seriously, youre 18 choices are yours

just ask them to trust your judgment about where you are and who you're with. You've given them no reason not to trust you. Simple.

God, your parents really are overprotective! Dude, just talk to them. I'd say prove them that you are responsible and mature, but I think you already did that. If this doesn't work, there's not much you can do. Either listen to them, let them ambarrass in front of your friends and/or have no life OR stand up to them. Next time they want to meet the parents of your mates, ask them not to. If they insist and say you wouldn't go anywhere, go anyway. Let them know you're an adult, not a child, and that they can't control you anymore. Be assertive. Good luck!

This is not what you want to hear, but it will not stop until you move away and force them to see you as an adult. My parents were the exact same way my whole life, all the way up until the time I turned 19 and then moved out. My parents even went so far as to drive by my friends' houses after DROPPING ME OFF THERE (I had my license) to make sure I was where I said I would be. I gave them very little trouble as a teen and their actions were honestly not justified. There was no way to make them stop, and then I moved out. Currently they do call me at least 3 times a day, but I am free to answer or ignore them, or to listen to their advice or not. They relaxed a lot after I moved out because they were forced to see me as my own person.
