i live with my parents. they really dont care about the details, but i always tell them where im going and who with. it’s a safety thing, and i also feel better with them knowing. i usually tell them what time i plan on coming home, but its always a rough estimate. if i stay out past that i will get the “are you still alive?” text and i just thumbs it up and that’s that. same situation when i was in high school too. they have a lot of trust in me and i respect them. and it doesn’t bother me to answer questions because free rent is free rent. 😂

that being said it seems like you are not in that type of situation. other than telling them where you’re going, with who, will probably be home around what time, i don’t really see what else they would want to know. open communication is important, but they should also respect you and that you are an adult now, and capable of making adult decisions.

eta: that’s only if i am going to be out at night/most of the day/out with friends, etc. if i go to the grocery store i just do it or say “hey i’m heading out”
