if you are still living at home and in high school i think a descent curfew is midnight. its a respectable hour to be home at. i mean unless you are just at a friends house watching movies and not out and about running the streets then any time just as long as you check in with them and let them know you are ok. show them you are responsible and maybe they wont give you one.

Well since your 18 you technically don't have to listen to your parents curfew. But in CO, where I am from the State Curfew is 2:00 am for adults 18-20 years of age. But since that you seem to want to be loyal to your parents wishes(good for you!) I would say between Midnight and 1:00 am is a decent time. Pending on what you are doing. Most bars close around 2 am anyway and I personally wouldn't want to be out and about around that time. Good Luck.

Ok heres the deal your 18 your an adult, but if you wish to remain at home you and your parents will have to come to an agreement on some rules so they dont get pissed and kick you out. Tell them what you think is fair and if you are still in school then make it decent during the week and tell them midnight when you dont have school if they agree follow it otherwise things could get ugly. If they dont like it at first tell them that it should be fair as long as your grades dont drop and continue thru school ask them what would the problem be to hang with friends till midnight. Just dont abuse their trust and come home drunk or high and have safe sex as well get a small bottle of perfume or body spray that way you can mask some odors you know. Face it your an adult you could legally live in your own place but chances are you dont have the money so they can chill with the super strict and even if you lie tell them you dont drink or have sex. If they dont like it tell them you got a job and go work at a strip club they dont have to know why you make so much money tell them you work at resturant or something. good luck

I never had a curfew, but my parents didn't like me coming home past 11-ish on weeknights as it disturbed my younger sister. Weekends I could stay out however late I wanted, 18 is a legal adult. But, I didn't make any bad desicions. I'm sure if I had gotten into any trouble they would have been more strict with me or asked me to move out.

Living at home can sometimes be a pain, but to respect your parents wishes you should be home when they ask you to be home. But hopefully they realize you are an adult and a respectable time to me is 11:00 during the week and midnight on weekends. I lived at home until I got married at 23 and I didn't really have a curfew but these are the times I tried to be home!

Since you seam to be living at home I would have to say...what ever time your parents say... Sorry! If you believe that your curfew is too strict try to sit down with them and come to an agreement amongst yourselves...
Personally I would say 10 PM weekdays 12 PM weekends!
But I can guarantee your parents will not care what any of us on here have to say. They are looking out for your well being...It is hard to disagree/argue with that!

My curfew was always 12 on the weekends. Even when I went away to college and came home on the weekends, I was still expected home by 12 if I went out. And honestly, there's nothing going on after 12, so if your out after midnight, you're usually up to no good!

i had an 11 curfew all throught my senior year now when i go back home on weekends they want me home by 2 and it kills them to let me out that late but they know i can just takeoff back home if the impose anything else!! when i moved out they always wanted me home by 10 they would call me and ask where i was but they came to the conclusion that they couldnt controll me cuz i was in a different city but every once in a while they would call me at 2 or 3 in the morning to check if i was at home asleep of out drinking!!:P

My mom tried that crap with me... she is a very strict Hispanic mother who wouldn't even let me go away to college. I just moved out on her. When she begged me to come back home, I did, but I told her that if she didn't lay off, I would move back out. After that I would just tell her I was going out, and what time I expected to be back home. If I ended up being late, I would call her to let her know I was safe. (That is all they want to know anyway). Now that I am 10 years past that, I have learned a new motto, though. Nothing good happens after 2am!

If I were you I would tell my parents that I'm 18 & an adult. They can't treat you like a baby forever. If they are very strict 12 on the weeknight & 2 weekends. My parents were cool & I pretty much did what I wanted, but just tell your parents what time you think and make a compromise.
