My kids are grown. However, the rule always was if it's my house and I pay the bills, I know what is going on. You want privacy and total freedom, buy your own roof. That's the only way you'll appreciate it. My house, my rules.
Of course, I did try to respect my kids as individuals and they did earn rights. However, it did always come back to the fact that under my roof my rules apply.
