my friend had the same problem and she started thinking 2 steps ahead of them.
example - the parentals always say "no you have to clean your room" so a couple of days before make sure your room is spotless for them. if they say "your homeworks not done" make sure you do it and show them. also parents like it when you succeed so if you get an "A" show them cause it will help persuade their decision.
also telling them a couple days in advance would help i dont konw if you do that but give it a try

Tell them you are planning to go out ahead of time (maybe a day or 2 in advance) and say "Is there anything you need me to do, because I will gladly do them, but I just need a little notice. I want to go out with my friends tomorrow, and I just want to have everything finished so I don't have to worry about it."

Do extra, little chores. Offer to watch your brother on days that you aren't planning to go out, so they can't guilt you into it.

Just be mature, cover all of your bases in advance, and explain that it means a lot to you that you be able to spend time with your friends.

Hope i helped

Do the things they're asking of you without complaining.

They'll realize you're more responsible, and willing to cooperate with them.

If you truly think they're being unreasonable [like, your room would pass the white glove test and is cleaner than an operating room] sit down with them [maye during dinner, when no one's stressed] and ask if you can have more time to spend with your friends. Explain that nurturing friendships is important, and you don't want to miss out on things.


Good luck!
