"my house, my rules" is pretty universal with parents. It's a tradeoff. I assume "for practical reasons" you mean "cheap rent, stable place to live". That's a <b>big</b> break to be bargaining for. I'd recommend you go with it and don't blow it. A stable place to live and imrove your finances and employment just isn't worth risking to indulge yourself for a little while.
You'll have other opportunities later to do what you want to. Look at it this way - deal with this for awhile, get yourself on better footing until you can get back out on your own, THEN do what you want to a year or two from now. Or... push your luck now, lose the helping hand, and maybe spend a very long time not even being able to <i>afford</i> diapers later when you finally get back out on your own. Consider it a bit of a sacrifice/investment for the future.
