Hii friends , do you really think reaching home at 11:30 night a late night ?? Today me and my friends met after long time and was out had a dinner, remembered our past and had lots of fun. Its cool and exciting till here .But after reaching home nearly 11:30 mom started scolding , warnings and all :( but i dont think before 12:00 is not a late-night now-a-days, its quite obvious . isn't it ?? have you experienced and experiencing any such situations.

Hi dear, I think city like Hyderabad, 11:30 is not so late. But if you don't have a habit of reaching at home so late, you could have inform your parents that you may be little late and you are with your friends. I am from Mumbai and we have experiences like leaving office after 10, 12, 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM also sometime early morning also. Not only we gents, there may be quite a lot of girls also even unmarried and married. So, for us, it is not a problem and all those girls family knows that we got such a working environment and no parents have any problem at all. Sometimes we 4-5 staff will leave at 2:00 after mid night and drop one by one girl at their own home and finally we gents, will reach at home by 3-30. We have such habit since last 7-8 years or more. So, it is nothing to be worried, and make understand your mom that it is happened only due to so & so reasons and it may not be a regular practice. However, as being a grown-up female, our parents have their own tension once the daughter is not yet reach at home by 9 or 10. So, the easy way to make all problems in hand is just give a call and inform. The problem will get resolved and they also get the peace of mind. Best regards, Thank-s

You can say that again! My mom is a protective person, she dislikes it whenever i come home late. She really gets a hypertensive fit whenever i get home late. What i could suggest though since night outs can really take late, i would strongly suggest that you call your mom that you would be coming home late and that you have decided to sleep over at your friend's house.

It depends on a lot of things like your neighbourhood.In India ,it is considered not agood thing to hangout with friends late at night after 9:00 pm.Since in this case its your first time and you had a genuine reason ,there is nothing wrong in what you did .Only that you should inform your parents if you are coming late.Normally ,they would allow you .Everyone's parents are so tensed about their children especially daughters.You can't blame them.You needn't worry and don't repeat it.

What is your age? In my case I already worked and most of the time I got home around 1-2 am in the morning because of the traffic and over time. So 11:30 is not late for me and if you live in a busy city like new york or vegas there is no late for that but if you are still a student then it is really late and if I'm our parents I will be really disappointed and get mad at you.

According to me it is too late timimg to reach at the home. The market get closed at this time thats why our parents care for us if we are coming late at home.\ Ha, if your coming late sometime it does not matter, but if you are coming regularly late, then it is a matter of concern.

I dont think that reaching home at 11.30 night is a late night, especially if you are in a big city. Usually the metropolitan city never sleeps so it is not late at all.

If you are under age 11:30p. is late. I am nearly a senior and have a sleeping disorder so 11:30p. is still the 'shank' of the evening. I stay up sometimes until early morning. Somewhere between 3a and 6a.is normal for me most of the time. If you are under age and living with your parents then 'late' is what they feel is late not what you do. You would go by their rules until you are of age and you need to respect that.

a lot depends on how old you are. also if your mom has some reason to worry like bad nieghborhood, enemies you may have, etc. wait till you are in your forties and your daughter yells at you for being late when we lived together back then and i was dating in my forties my daughter yelled at me for coming in late. she was worried. i said to her, when did you become my mother? she said when you started acting like a child.

It's late at night already my dear. Basis of this is, if you are working then you go out from the office at 5-6pm, right? SO you can stay outside at least 2-3 hours..then if you are a student 11:30 is really toooo late....

I think every parent will not allow their children go out till late night, for them 10pm will be already very late..because they are just worried that what will happen to their children. Or may be they worried what their children will do...especially for girl. For me, I think 11.30pm is not too late, because I ever came back home as late as 3,4am in the morning. My mom scolded me as well..

From your profile I see your age and I do not think this is too late. However you do still live under mom and dad's roof so they have the prerogative of making the curfews. They really care about your safety. Seems unfair but maybe someday you will have your own home and this will not happen. Good Luck next time take off your shoes and creep in quietly. hehehehe, just kidding.

It depends on your age and where you are from and what did you do. If you are still a teenager, then that is pretty late. But if you are older, it is ok as long as you went home safe and o.k.

9 is already a late night for my dad. i think it just depends on a country's culture, and how parents bring up their children even if efore 12 mn isn't a late night for most now-a-days. Nowadays, it is also dangerous to be still out after 9.30 onwards, so it is understandable why our parents would scold us or nag us when we do arrive late. unless you have work and are on night shift then parents can;t actually scold you for anything.and 11:30 pm won't be considered late.

I have driven and done things later on at night than 11:30PM. One time, I drove from Glendora to Palm Springs, and I didn't get to Palm Springs until almost 2AM. My parents didn't say anything to me because they knew that I had to work, so they backed off. Then again, I was past the age of 18, and once you are past the age of 18 in my family, no one can really be held accountable for your actions. Just so long as you tell people where you are going to be, you'll be okay.

I don't think 11:30 is that late at all. It sounds like you had a good time and it was probably worth the scoldings. I guess it just depends on the person. I know my parents probably think 11:30 is late for them but not for me.
