Isn't It Past Curfew?

Just about every Monday night, my parents go out to the casino and they stay there really late. It's their way of having fun, but shouldn't they come back home after a while?

Sometimes they'll go in the afternoon, sometimes in the early evening. But after they go, I don't hear from them again until the next day. I sleep at 2 in the morning, and even at that time, I get no hint that they'll be back anytime soon.

The next morning, they'll complain about how tired they are from working and how I should go to their restaurant to help out. Whose fault is it for staying out so late??

But whenever I yell at them about this, they yell back at me about how I'm too young to criticize them, and how I don't know any better? Really? I'm the one who doesn't know better? They say they are adults, but when will they start acting like it?

I'm not old enough to judge them apparently, and since they're adults and they don't criticize themselves, then who will? Honestly, my parents need to get some common sense. As I'm writing this, my parents aren't home yet. I'm sleeping over at my cousin's house.
