crazy mom!
Long story short: I got kicked out of my house for a lip piercing in April. A week later, my mom begged me to move back in. I asked her if I would be able to come and go as I please because I'm 18 now. She said yes, so I moved back in.
Now, in July, she has made so many rules that go against what we agreed. I can't leave the house past 11:00pm, I have to be home by 1:00am, and I can only stay the night at someone's house once a week.
I'm not taking any classes and I can't work (don't ask why, I just can't), so it's not like I have to wake up early for anything. I'm not involved in drugs or sex and she knows that. She just went against everything we agreed on.
What do I do? My friends are tired of leaving clubs early to take me home. And I want to spend the night at people's houses.

Honestly? I'd suck it up and follow her rules. If she's allowing you to live in HER house, you should follow HER rules. If you want to follow your own rules, live on your own.
I don't mean to be rude in any way, that's just my personal opinion. Not only is she looking out for you, but I think following the rules would also show maturity and a sense of responsibility. And if you show your mom you can be mature and responsible, maybe then she'll start to take it down a notch with all the rules =]

Well..
First lets look from Mom's point of view.
1. You are her child.
2. She cares for your saftey
3. She is just looking out for you
I would try and speak to Mom again about how you feel. Tell her that you are an adult now and that you understand she is just looking out for your best interest. Try working something out with Mom, Leave her your cell phone number, tell her where you are going and give her an approx. time you will be home. Tell her that you feel like she is enabling you (That being said, If that is how you are feeling) exsplain to Mom that you wish for your freedom. (Trust me, I know where you are coming from Mom does this too me all the time and I'm 23 years old lol) Anyway, Back to your situation try doing that with Mom and see how it goes. Another thing that helps, Is try making a deal with Mom and see how that works out also.
Good luck!

I would talk to her. i would remind her of what you two agreed of, and i would also tell her, her terms are way to tied down. Work out some sort of agreement that you two can work out easily. Also remind her that you are 18 years old and can move back out again.
