If you are responsible, honest ,trustworthy and inform your parents of your whereabouts then no.
Parents are looking out for their children (even at eighteen) and are truly concerned about them emotionally and physically. They want to keep their children safe and curfews are a way to give them this. If you live at home you might have to abide by their rules for the time being unless they are truly comfortable with your decision making skills and they trust you. But until then be glad someone is looking out for you.

If you are 18 and live at home (maybe still in school also) you should have a curfew, I did! I didn't graduate until 19, and for a year I had a curfew, it didn't bother me so much though. If you have a curfew, it's because your parents worry and love you. I mean what if they didn't set you a curfew, and you just never came home... They would be worried sick about you, and not know what to think.

Are you people crazy????????? An 18 year old is an ADULT. If they happen to still live at home, which they should IMO stop doing at the earliest possible convenience, it makes no difference. Parents have no legal right to impose a curfew on someone over 18 regardless of the living arrangement. Sometimes a young person needs to stay at home for a little while to get through school or college or whatever, but the parental controls are gone. What's amazing to me is that someone over 18 would accept such rediculous thing. Unbelievable.

Anna, sounds as though this female has it noticeably good. She isn't paying lease so i think you have the marvelous to place a curfew on her. yet whilst she became to pay her freight then i don't have confidence she might desire to have a curfew as she is an person. That stated besides the shown fact that, she might desire to abide with the aid of the homestead regulations. And if she is inflicting rigidity and arguments interior the kin unit it would desire to be time to ask her to discover appropriate residing preparations someplace else and notice how she likes being responsible for all the flaws that come alongside with this freedom. If a kin assembly the place all products could be addressed in a mature and open minded trend won't be able to elect this subject then it incredibly is in all probability superb for all worried to be reasonable and have her stay autonomous. superb of success.

Techinacally, you're not an offical adult. Isn't it 21 the legal age?
It's unnecessary to have a curfew for 18 year olds... but maybe some others do have set times.

If they still live at home. I think that they should be home at a certain time or stay at a friends, after calling and letting parents know they won't be home. Unless they are still in high school, and then yes they should have a curfew.

Not in my opinion. When you turn 18, you are an adult by law. Unless of course you go to a college that has a curfew, in which case you should listen to what your authorities tell you.

If they are still living at home it should be what ever rules the parents establish.I would think a good compromise would be allowing her to go out as long as you knew where she would be and when,she could leave a message whenever she got to where she was going on maybe a cell phone that would be turned off durring the night,so that you could cheack it in the morning,and in case of an emergency she would call the house phone.If she is out the house and living on her own,then no she should be able to make her own choice of when to out and when to come home.

If she is still in school and living under the roof of the parents then absolutely. She needs to respect others in the house and not come and go, wake and go to bed whenever she feels like it. There is no magic wand at 18, regardless of what kids think and usually they still really want some guidance or they'd be gone already. Make it later (midnight unless in a specific spot) but not free reign. good luck...
