Well, within reason sure. Regardless if one owns a house they still must follow certain rules called laws. If you beat your children you cannot explain to the police, "My house, my rules!" I mean you can, but it's not going to help in court.

A big part of growing up is something called individuation. It's a time for young people to discover who they are. Part of that is formulating different opinions than your parents. It should be welcomed, but monitored, not attacked. Only a bad parent would ask their child to leave because they have differing opinions.

If you don't act like one, why should anyone treat you as such? If you need more clarification see Their house, their rules.

See #1.

Your parents don't owe you anything especially once you've turned 18. You are considered an adult by the eyes of the government. Act like one.

If your parents promise something, get it in writing otherwise they might try to weasel out of it because they still ahven't learned how to respect you as an adult yet. Adults sue when there is a breach of contract.

Wrong. If your parents are breaking the law you owe it to them to call the police because they're raising you to be a responsible adult.

Short of illegal things such as molestation and abuse, they did their best, sometimes they did crappy things, you are responsible for your life.

...but you're not responsible for how you were raised. If your parents fucked up on something, it's okay to admit that was
their error and not your own.
