Should ur parents dictate how u live once u hit the legal age?

We should not think it that way, that's its their house therefore children should follow the rules, rather think that parents have experiences on a lot of things and therefore knows what is best for children. If you think you are suffocated by the way parents are behaving, then try to open to them. I believe that no parents want harm to their children. Children should see the love and concern why parents are doing such a thing. Life is a cycle and whatever parents have gone through, somewhere along the way children will and can also travel in the same path. Advices and opinions and views that they gave, appreciate it. I tell you, this can help children to be better in their lives.

You have a choice-You can stay with Your Parents,Live under their roof,and obey their rules. You can move out,get Your own place,and live by Your own rules. option 3..Negotiate with them. If You think things are too strict,what can You do to change things? I'm trying to put this as delicately as possible...If You're still being grounded for not following their rules,why do You think they're going to think You're responsible enough to get some more freedom?You earn their trust by playing ball with them..You lose their trust,You pay..hope it works out for You.

i think that as long as the kid, despite being over the legal age, stays under his parents' roof, the kid should follow the house rules set by his elders. either that, or move out. but i guess it depends as well on the person's culture and the way they are brought up. like where i come from, it isnt unusual for the children to live with their parents even when they are 30 yrs old already! of course, by then, the kids are full grown adults already and the parents usually treat them as adults as well. of course, there are stil parents who will always treat their sons and daughters as ten yr olds... i, on the other hand, have moved out more than 4 years ago. not because i can't abide by my parents' rules (as i have always done what i wanted, anyway) but because i believe that every kid should have the experience of living alone and taking full responsibility for theirselves.

For me no we should live our life as to what we want and beside we are old enough to know what is right and wrong.

Parents should hav a control over their children.They are the ones who care us till our youth.....Therefore they hav a bit control on ourselves i think.....
