I've been on chat a few times and talked of this with you and I've said the same thing as Janice. You have a good head on your shoulders and your parents have raised you in a way that should make then very proud. Many parents forget that "home" is not a democracy and there isn't a vote on everything that occurs. Some things just are done because "that's the way it goes and since you live here you have a responsibility to follow the house rules and face the consequences when you don't" No one gets their own way in real life after they leave home and this is where so many people run into their problems. They were raised to believe that the whole world centred on them and they were the most important thing so when they screw up they don't know how to accept their consequences. They always look for a scapegoat. If mum and dad had stopped allowing little Johnny or Mary to run the house they would have a child who could leave home and cope with the crap that happens in the real world. We all pay the penalty for lazy, sloppy parenting skills.
That's my opinion, I could be wrong.
