If it's your house and you pay the bills you can make the rules, if isn't your house and you pay no bills you will have to follow the rules, it doesn't matter how much old you are actually.
User name checks out here
What does that mean?
The user name of the parent comment is "TheBigBrother". Big Brother is also the name of the totalitarian regime in the dystopian book Nineteen Eighty-Four from George Orwell. The other commentator referenced the Big Brother in 1984 to the comment of the parent comment thereby implying, that the original comment with the "my house, my rules" is too totalitarian or strict.
I've become 25.
I think there is some context here you didn't mention. If you're 25, why is your sister taking care of you?
If isn't your house, at least you pay the bills or a part of it? If you are there living WO paying anything you will not get any benefits IMO.
Edit: there is a big difference between living with your parents and living from your parents.
