Till you are independent enough to move away you will just have to live by their rules as it is their home.

Well, I have raised 8 children and have never been that strict. But, even though they still lived under my roof they automatically told me where they were going and when they expected to be back. I had the phone numbers and if I ever needed them they were there. Have to grow up sometime. Take the plunge if this is too much for you and find your way out on your own, but don't do it by ruining a trusting relationship with your parents.

Hey, how about this I am in my 30's and until recently was spending almost every other weekend at my parents visiting. If I went out at night my dad still gave me a curfew. Didn't see any reason for me to be out late even as a mature adult. I don't need to stay there anymore since moving but that was so wrong. Since you are still living there unless you are paying rent I guess you have to abide by their rules whether you like them or not. I had to come home on time or get yelled at even though I was no longer living there just visiting.

Thats your problem.... you call yourself a "kid", so, I guess you are part of the problem. Respect should be coming from both sides. Since you do still live under your parents roof, what they say goes, yeah, but, the rules are a bit in the 14 year old area, and should be adjusted to fit your age.
If you cant afford to live on your own, then get a roomate!

I feel this is normal(if there really is a normal). Look you are living in your parents house, you go by their rules. Once you move out you'll do what you want when you want. Right now, start to save some money as you can and in the meantime look for a new job that pays better. You should be out of your parents home before you soon.

There's your problem. You still consider yourself a kid! That is why your parents still treat you as such, because you allow it! Ever hear of roomates? You might not be able to afford a place on your own, but you might be able to, if you had roomates to help with the bills. At age 21, you should not be living in your parents house. You should be having a life of your own. And as long as you treat yourself as a child, your parents will continue to do it. No one is going to make your life YOURS...only you can do that.

Yes it is to restrictive.
If you can not sit down with your parents and work this out then you have no option but to move out of the house and find a place to live by yourself. You might find that if you do this, although money will be tough, that the freedom is worth the lack of money.
I would not and could not stay at home under those conditons.

* What's not normal is the fact that you are 21 and still living with your parents. Get a better job or 2 jobs , go to school but do your parents a favor and grow up and get your butt out of their house. They need a life too.

I would recommend getting a job that pays more so you can get out. And I know about the strict part very well, private school, church, and home. Now that I am older it is so good to finally be able to do what I want.

well, my parents weren't quite that strict. in fact, i don't think most are... but you must follow the rules if you want to sleep in the house. if it's too much consider finding a roommate and going half on an apartment.
... don't sneak out. it will destroy your parents trust in you and could damage the relationship. or worse yet, if they kick you out for sneaking out then will your boyfriend let you stay with him? i don't think so... if that's the case you'd be living with him already.

my house my rules but I agree they need to let you have a life for real tell them what is going to happen when you get into the real world you'll go crazy with all that free and won't know how to handle IT. This happened to a friend of mine I grew up with she got into all kinds of trouble thank goodness she finally got a grip before it ended badly and not just in a divorce.
