Sorry to say it......but, suck it up hunnie, life's full of trade off's, if you continue to Use their support, you continue to live by their rules simply.....you know that age old saying: "As long as you live in my house........" Still stands today.

Second goes to the above bolded point - you're not mature enough to move out and be an adult, but you're mature enough to be having sex?? and more BDSM sex? *shakes head*

Hard but simple: Grow up or Grow out - You'd be far more hard pressed were you my daughter

p.s.: I'm neither Christian nor Religious and don't believe this should be shouldered by the Religious sect
I agree with you there, gem. I remember when I brought my first fiance home the first time (my ex-husband). I was almost 26 and had been sleeping with him for almost a year and they still made us sleep in separate rooms. And then the shit hit the fan when my father caught us making out. In my family sex was never discussed and it was implied that I would remain a virgin until I got married. OOPS! Of course, my brother was another story, since he and his girlfriends could make out for hours in his room with the door closed. Don't you love double standards? And yes, I know it was because my parents felt that was protecting me since I was the one who get pregnant. However, that wasn't the way I saw it at the time. I just felt that it was unfair to have such a double standard.

I also agree with you in that when you live under your parents' roof you abide by their rules. You want to be treated like a mature adult, then you act like a mature adult. It's the only way to earn their respect and for them to start relaxing their rules. If you don't, then they are going to keep you on an even tighter leash, because they will feel that they can't trust you yet to make mature decisions in your life. You continue to act like a child and they will continue to treat you like a child.
