I just came home from my first year at college for the summer. I did really well and my parents didn't help me financially but with a $2500 LOAN. My parents have always been really strict and made me take my sisters on dates with my boyfriend. I always found ways around it before or had to take them, but upon returning from college and experiencing the freedom I've realized how unreasonable it is. I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years on and off, its about a year and a half total, and they still want me to take my little sisters on dates with him. Is it reasonable? What should I do? They say that as long as I live under their roof I need to abide by their rules, but what they're asking for isn't reasonable. I should be arguing about curfew not chaperones at this age.

You're over 18 and well over the age that a chaperone would be necessary.
That being said, when my cousin was 23 he had a strict curfew and was given the same living under my roof speech. Unfortunately, regardless of how unreasonable it is, it's their house, their rules. |

Don't listen. You're 19. You're free to a certain extent.

It's time to move out if you have a problem with what your parents' rules are.

If you hate it so much, tell your parents to get f*cked and move out. Otherwise, deal with it.
