So tonight, the big Virginia Tech vs Boise State game is on. I am a huge hokie fan as I live in the Virginia Tech area. But you know what, I don't have espn, my internet is too slow to watch at home, so I ask them if I can go to the university to watch. They originally say its ok, but then they tell me I have to get back by 11. I mean, the game starts at 8:30, and its not gonna be done by then. My gosh, I ask my parents to go here because I don't want to ask my dad to find a place where we can watch(we usually watch at a neighbor's) and just because its a school night I can't watch the entire game. I mean, tomorrow is a school night, but it ends by 12 and I go to sleep at 11 on school nights. I don't get what their fucking point is. FML!!!

Don't hate your parents. There are plenty parents far worse than this. >.>

Maybe they're just trying to be consistent. I guess it really depends on how often you ask to stay out later then your curfew, if it's rare, then perhaps they should be cutting you a little slack. But otherwise.... I mean, in a week you won't care, so it's not a huge deal.

That's nothing to hate your parents for. That's something to be upset about, because they are acting like assholes.

They try and teach u to prioritize school over games. Try and learn from them.

i feel you. my parents used to have stupid restrictions on me that were pretty pointless. But they let me have more freedom as I got older and older. It's just something you're gonna have to deal with till ur in college or out of the house.... shit like this totally pissed me off too when I had to deal with it, but now I realize that my parents did and are still doing a LOT for me. like zergneedsfood says, it could definitely be worse

Just say yeah mom, I'll be back by 11, and just come back at 12-1 in the morning anyways. Wtf you're already 18+, why are you even letting them baby you like that lol, even at 16, my father would let me out till 3 in the morning as long as I let him know I'd be back by that time. This just means your parents don't trust you at all.

yeah that sucks, but at least you know your parents. Know their faces, hopefully some of their background, had some good experiences with them, etc.

Some kids don't have that privilege in this life.

If what Never.Die says is true, that your 18+ (where did you find this? It's not on his profile or in his OP) then move out if you don't like it, if you're not willing to move out, then quit complaining.

If your 17 or under - deal with it. That is NOWHERE close to being a bad parent. When you grow up and become a parent, I'm sure you are going to have some moments with your kids and think "damn, my parents weren't so bad as i thought they were."

They just probably want you to sleep early and build a habit doing so. I never understood that when i was younger. But as I grew older, building a habit of going to bed early is great as it allows you to wake early and be energized. Lots of the stupid crap my parents told me and restricted me from doing really were words of wisdom. But if i was in your position, I'd be pissed. Just wait till your in college or out of your parent's house, you don't have to worry about any curfew. Remember your parents love you even if they don't show it.

I can't lie, I mean, exactly how would I lie in this situation? I've lied before, but theres not a lie i can tell right now. What would I say? That I had a heart attack or something. And I have to take crap or my parents literally go monkey crazy. My parents will do anything if they are pissed enough. And I have Korean parents, what can you do

Solution: Go and say you'll be back by 11. At 11 give them a call and tell them the game is running a little bit late and that you will do X favor/chore for them when you get back if they let you stay.

Go, phone them up at 10.30 and tell them you met a girl at the uni and you're hanging out to watch it together?

convince them you'll be fine tomorrow and you'll be back as soon as the game ends or something

also your parents might not understand you having enough time to play games more than on just saturday, but if you're a junior or senior then them telling u to study for SAT's is not being an ass

i think you're just being stupid with these rant blogs and need to just man up

edit: but yeah go to your parents RIGHT NOW and just try to convince them
