Homework!
When I get home. I usually have "a lot of homework". Parents know that school is a priority. Why would they make you was dishes when your "science project" or your "math homework" is due tomorrow! They can't tell you to stop studying for a possible "pop quiz"
----------
Rest is Important
If you are a latchkey kid, you are in luck. When you get home, relax, watch tv. When you hear your parents come home, pretend you are sleep. If they try to wake you up, tell them you've been "studying" and your extremely tired.
-------
Clean your Room
This one is usually the one that really works. When your parents ask you to clean the bathroom, tell them you have to clean your room. Tell them you have to find something. When you go in your room, shut the door and relax.
-------------
Get a Partner
Tell your parent you need to go to a friends house so you can finish a "project". Then you can go see that new movie you were dying to see.
-----------
Sports
If you play a sport, this will also work. Tell your parents you NEED to go over Julie's house to get some extra practice for the big game
