Rules are there to be broken, and if the rule is unrealistic, it should be changed.

Yeah...gonna have to disagree with ya there :-) First of all, like so many of you have pointed out, Mom and husband own the house. Their house, their rules. Period. And as for the idea of the rule being unrealistic, that's definitely a matter of opinion regardless of the rule in question.
And when someone breaks a rule, you're saying they should just "accept it" ? Why bother to make/enforce rules at all?
Maturity= financially supporting yourself
making responsible choices
being able to financially and emotionally take care of any
unexpected consequences of your actions (no contraceptive is 100% foolproof). I doubt any 17 year old is ready for that.
When you're on your own, earning your own living, proving you are responsible...
then you can do whatever the hell you want without worrying about Mom.
