Rodge,
My parents and I are very angry with each other. I live at home because my job was eliminated so I don’t have a steady income. I get so depressed that I often go out at night with girlfriends. On two nights I have met a guy and spent the night with him. When I get home the next morning, my parents tear into me because I didn’t call them to tell them I was staying out all night. I scream back at them that there was no way I was going to tell the guy “We have to stop now while I call my parents and ask them if I can stay out tonight.” Which of us is right, me or my parents?

Your parents. As long as you’re living under their roof, you have to live by their rules. And this is definitely true in the instance you’ve described, as your parents will be understandably worried until you assure them that you’re OK.
As for calling to tell them your plans, there’s no reason why you have to tell the guy that you’re calling your parents. Just say you have to make a call, which he’ll probably interpret as a call to your roommate. Besides, making such a call would be a wise safety precaution, just in case the guy is, you know, an ax murderer.

Your in advice is absolutely correct. As long as a young person is living under her parent's roof, she has to abide by their rules.
Bigger than the problem with her parents is this girl's problem with her judgment. I am appalled that she would meet a guy one right at a club and then sleep with him that same night. This is very poor judgment on her part.
i am "appalled" that this vickie chick thinks it is her job to judge the letter writer
yes the right thing for her to do may be to call her parents but when a girl and guy is in the "heat" of the moment that can be real real hard to stop for a few minutes to do
here is at least one situation that i as a gay man dating have never had to deal with - though we have plenty of others to go around!
While I certainly would not want to "recommend" having sex on the first night you meet someone as the pathway to a longterm relationship I feel a need to say to readers that that is what happened with me and my husband and we have been together for more than two decades and are very very happy with three children.
