Annoyed
im 15 and offered to watch my brothers instead of going out with my friends so my parents can go out. Its now 1:00 AM and they still have not returned. Im annoyed because its not fair that they think they can stay out til all hours of the night while i sat home on a friday night for THEM. If they were planning on staying out this late they should have told me. Honestly i have no idea what their out doing putzing around about..Am i wrong for being mad? How should i express how im annoyed at them? i understan that they are adults and a child has no right to yell and act like their parent..but im just annoyed with the lack of consideration i guess

You have no right to be mad, unless its at yourself. Your the one that offered to stay home, they didn't force you to. So stop bitching about your stupid mistake and trying to blame your parents.

Of course you're annoyed. Hell, I would be too. But yeah there's nothing you can do and it sucks.

How often do they get to go out? How often do you get to go out? From the sound of it, this does not happen very often. Has probably never happened before.
I think it's quite fair. Your parents need time alone without kids. You have a right to tell them that they upset you. But think about things first. Are you being selfish by telling them that they're not allowed to have one measly night alone? Think about how often you get to go out, and then think about how often they get to go out. I don't think it would be right for you to complain about one simple night.
You can always use this in the future. If you want something badly, bring up how you helped them by watching your brothers. Then they'll have to at least consider how nice you were on a friday night before they decide you deserve that thing that you want.
p.s. I'm guessing that your parents are using this time away from their children to have sex. Would you really want to keep them from that once in a great while?

Ya, you should definitely be annoyed. If they were to tell you how late they would be, that's another story, but they didn't. You have every right to be annoyed. When they get home, don't start yelling or anything, that'll get you nowhere. Just explain calmly how you feel, and would they please tell you how late they'll be or at least call when they're going to be late? Good luck!
Hope I helped!

Just tell them how you feel. Say: "i would like to go out on friday night and go out with my friends too. i know you two want to go out and im ok with that. But i have a life and i would like to go live it (ONLY say that if your parents have a sence of humor)and i am willing to babysit(if you are) but i would also like to go out on a frieday night too" say something like that. And tell them how you feel and how you felt when they were out at such a late time.
good luck!!

try talking to your parents about it. tell them that you should have your rights also. remember, conversation not confrontation!
