Do You Think It Is Right for a Parent to Do This?

Question by Max: Do you think it is right for a parent to do this?
I stay up late every night. It is summer vacation, and I never have any plans unless a friend calls (which happens often). My family including me, my sister, mother, and father have never had a schedule. All of sudden my mom gets mad at me saying that needs to change but just for me. She says I am hurting my body (i get 10-12 hours of sleep) and that it is making me a bad person (it is not) and when ever I try to use logic in this argument she just yells at me saying that the logic is that she’s the parent. She now says I have to be to bed at 2AM. In bed, I don’t go out, I am in the house, this is not a curfew, it is a bedtime I have never had one before, and my mom has never cared about this before tonight. Also when I tried to tell her I would be waking up past noon no matter what (I am a teenager, everyone I know sleeps this late) she became very mad. (I am in highschool btw)
I’m not a “lazy young adult” I am very active. I also through eBay and the internet make many times more money then I could with a job at my age.

Well for a Mother & Father to worry about their child is normal.
I would suggest doing what they say as long as its their house, Its their rules.
I know its hard not being able to go somewhere and its summer vacation but your going to have to listen to them.
But as long as you get a good hour of sleep then that’s fine.
