Why do my parents get mad at me staying up late?
Ok so my dad got up to use the bathroom and came into my room and said "what the f*ck are you doing?" and i was just drawing. I love to draw. Its a Saturday and he starts yelling that i didnt make my bed and mothers day is tomorrow. Its 3:55. The brunch slipped my mind cuz of prom stuff my friend was telling me. So i was just drawing. He says ill mess up my grades in school. I always push through no matter how tired i am though. How can i get him to just chill out about it cuz im gonna do it anyway. I like to on Saturdays and it doesn't harm anyone but me and thats if i dont sleep at all. Ill usually sleep pretty good. Because hes threatening to take my door off.
Why do my parents yell at me for staying up late?
Ugh. I have the same problem. Just now I was watching a show and my mom got up to use the bathroom. She heard that I was still awake and she shut off my TV and told me that she'll deal with me tomorrow. Great.. Now I'll have to wait for my punishment. I don't get it either! I don't see what the big deal is! It's summer! I don't have to get up so early! It's ridiculous! I mean, I'm not loud when I stay up. And I'm not a lazy person either! My whole summer is working and cleaning! I get things done better at night because there aren't any distractions. That's mainly why I stay up. But sometimes I just want to relax and watch a show in peace!
How do I get my parents to let me stay up later?
I have no idea how old you are but, if you are at school and have to get up early, then staying up late is not a good idea as you need your sleep.When a child, I used to argue that I should be allowed to stay up late during the holidays and, finally, I was allowed to. In those days, no TV in the house, just the radio and my parents were listening to a play, mother sewing, father reading the paper. No conversation, just sitting there. I was bored out of my mind and couldn’t wait to go to bed the next evening.When my elder daughter did the same thing, at about the same age, I turned the TV off and said, if she wanted to stay up late, we could use the opportunity to catch up on our lives - when she and her sister got back from school, they had her homework to do and then they could watch TV till supper so she wasn’t on her own to talk to.Of course she, too, became bored with this talk and never asked again as she knew what we would do - no TV!
Why do parents get mad when their kids stay up late?
I know some of the answers you are going to say, so I will say why they don't apply here. The story: It was 7:00 in the morning and I was on my computer in my room. My door was half open. I heard someone walk down the hallway. My dad reached his arm into my room, and turned off the light, thinking i was asleep. He then pushed the door back more to find me still awake. He yelled at me to go to bed. And mumbled things like jesus christ! as he walked away. I don't understand why my parents get "mad" at these stupid little things. He is not mad because of a respect thing. They never gave me a bedtime so i can't be disrespecting them in any way. It is not a trust thing where he does trust me being on the computer for safety or any other things involving him not trusting me using the computer, because I use it all day every day (yeah, dont judge me!) and they don't care. I really don't understand why my parents feel they have to be rude to me to get a point across. I mean, why can't (if he doesn't want me staying up this late) he just politely ask me to go to bed, or say "you should go to bed" and sit down and talk with me the next day about it is bad for my health and as a parent he is concerned or something. I swear, sometimes I hate the harsh ways in which my parents go about things. I'd rather not be yelled at by dad for no good reason, when i really didn't do anything wrong! Its summer! I hope to be a much better parent when I grow up.

Why don’t my parents let me stay up late during the summer or on weekends during the school year?
There are several good answers posted as to why your parents want you to have healthy sleep habits, but reading between the lines I don't think that you are looking for reasons to go to bed earlier than you want to, I think you are looking for a way to get your parents to be more flexible, and allow you to stay up later during the summer.You will need to approach your parents with some logical reasons, in an adult manner, if you want to convince them to relax their rules. Without making detailed suggestions about how to do this, I will merely suggest that you think in advance about how you can convince them to consider loosening the rules a bit for you, since you are getting older and becoming more mature and responsible. Good luck, and enjoy your summer.
How can I convince my parents to let me stay up longer? I'm 16 yet my bedtime is 8:30 PM.
Explain to your parents that you don’t feel tired at that time and that you actually fall asleep only at 11 or so. Most teenagers, my children, grandchildren and others I have seen, go to bed at around 9-10. That gives them a good sleep if they wake up at 7 or 8 and then go to school. Tell your parents that most teens you know go to bed an hour later, are healthy and have a good sleep.Teenagers however do need a lot of sleep; 40% of your height growth happens while you sleep, so it is very important that you get at least 8–9 hours sleep. If you have to wake up early, then 8:30 is the right time for you to go to bed.
My parents won't let me stay up late in the summer -.-?!?
Please read till the end of this answer no matter how pissed at me you may become. First, I don't know why you're definition of "late" is. Midnight? 2AM? 3AM? I don't know. But it's most likely that they're not used to you being more independent now, going out on your own and ****. They're also probably worried that you won't get enough sleep and will have lacking grades because of it. Hey, some parents suck, but you have to build trust with them. I've always left my door unlocked so that they over time stopped being curious and I developed a mental lock with them. I made it clear that I didn't want them in, and over time they respected my request when they found that I'm trustworthy. The most important part is to not lose your cool, when talking to your parents you CANNOT think of them as your parents. Think of them as business partners, you have to make a deal, convince them of what you want by being mature. Complaining and being a ***** about it isn't going to help.
I'm 19 and my parents don't let me stay up late or sleep in til noon, what do I do?
This is directed towards most of the other commenters.I see a lot of “No choice,” “It’s overrated” and “Get a job” answers here.First, this person is 19. For fuck’s sake, they should be allowed to experiment with their schedules! Hell, I was allowed to do this when I was 14.Secondly, if staying up and sleeping in is truly overrated, then you must have had experience with that as well. Let this person see for themself and judge thereafter, not avoid it altogether just because some helicopter parents said to.Third, it could be difficult to study for college and have a part-time job simultaneously, depending on the college degree and job in question. Nonetheless, off-days do allow for leniency.Now just because you believe that “not getting[sic.] the good sleep” leads to shit hitting the fan doesn’t mean that it actually will.
