I moved back home in my last semester of college to do a full time internship at a local TV station. I was then hired on when I graduated. I was only earning $14,000 and I also worked another part time job at the mall. My parents did not charge me rent. I have also had to move back home as an adult (in my 30's) when Dh and I were moving (military transfer) and he had to go to a school at another location for a couple months. They did not charge me rent then. That would have been silly. But I did try to pick up the tab for groceries once in a while.

Regarding the curfew thing, my freshman year when I came home for Christmas break and was going out, I asked my mom what my curfew was. She said that I was an adult and did not have a curfew any longer. I thought that was so cool and still do. And realistically, I have been going to school in Pennsylvania while they still lived in Germany. It would have been kind of silly for them to give me a curfew. And yeah, I used to sometimes close the clubs at 2:00 AM.
