How can i get my mom to leve my stuff alone?

Question

everytime my mom goes in my room she always moves my stuff. like she puts it somewhere else. and she looks through my stuff. like today she went in my room and started looking through my backpack. and i leave my stuff laying out so i can find it. if i put it somewhere i wont be able to find it. litterally when she walks in my room she can not leve without touching or moving something. i just want her to leave my stuff alone!!

Answer 1

Confront your mum and tell her that it is your personal space being invaded.

If that doesnt work then mark your territory with pee :P

Answer 2

i knw how u feel my domestic helper use to that to me and i threw a whole loada tantrums but all u hv to do is tell her to stop touching your thing or put a sign on your door ?

Answer 3

Just ask her, respectfully, not to move around your stuff.

Answer 4

She goes through your stuff because she care about you and wants to make sure you are not on drugs or anything stupid like that.  Silly, huh?  Parents who care...

I hope this was "satasfactory" (satisfactory even)

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 8

Maybe you should tell a little white lie to your mom. Right after she looked through your room go in there and start screaming "wears my money" and go to your mom and just say "I had my money right in my drawer/backpack/purse"(the place doesnt matter) " now i cant find my $100 (try to make the amount to big, then she might ask wear did you get that money)

So just basicly tell your mom that she lost your money...  

Answer 9

MOVE OUT..

PAY  YOUR OWN RENT

Answer 10

ok, perhaps your room is untidy...ask her if this is why she comes in and moves stuff, if it is, ask her if she would leave your stuff alone if you kept your room tidier...if your room isn't messy, and she does it anyway, ask her very politely not to move your stuff around because you can't find things when she's moved it.  Try this for around a week, if she still can't get it into her head, start going in to her room and randomly moving her things around...don't be nasty, don't get upset, just do it to draw attention to how frustrating it feels when you don't know where any of your things are!

Hope this helps!

Answer 11

well you  should sit down and have a little chat with her and see why she does then if she doesnt have a reason ask her to stop but you have a right to personal property and she has a right if she suspects anything or something like that.

Answer 12

You could get little toy intruder alarms. They make a annoying beeping sound  when their activated. It might annoy your mom enough to stop moving your stuff.  

Answer 13

put it away so she doesn't feel tempted! but it in a friggin box with a key if you feel so strongly!

Answer 14

Talk with her. Tell her that as an adolescent, you are forgetful and would appreciate it if she didn't move your stuff. You could also say that you would like a little more privacy about her moving your stuff. If you do the privacy thing you can indirectly put the ball in her court by implying that if she doesn't give you privacy, then she is putting no trust in you and is misraising you (NOTE: THIS IS IMPLIED, NOT SPOKEN).

Just confront her straight up and tell her that you don't like it when your stuff is moved around.

Answer 15

just sit her down and have a serious conversation with her telling of how it is making you uncomfortable and she should respect your privacy. How would she like it if you went through her things?

Answer 16

Lie. Tell her that some valuable thing is missing. I would say money(that you don't have) so she feels badly, but she can't find if she tries to help you look.

Answer 17

I don't mean to be racist, but are you asian? It's typically more an Asian thing (with the parents) but I don't like being racist/stereotypica/generalizer

You  could try locking her door, putting away your stuff before she does, moving her STUFF and telling her how she likes it

Answer 18

well you could lock your door or you can buy a door k**b and lock it and keep the keys to your self i hope this helps you

Answer 19

Your mother has every right to look through your stuff. The reason she does that is to make sure that you are not doing something that endangers yourself or others. The rule in my house is that if you don't want your parents to see something or find something that you have then don't have it under their roof. Including diaries, journals etc. Obviously you have done something in the past to earn your mothers distrust and she looks through your room to make sure it won't happen again. Teenagers think that they own the bedroom they are in and are allowed to do what they want with it when the reality of it is that the parent owns that room just like they own their child until that child is 18 years old. If yo don't like your mother searching your room and messing with the stuff in it then start paying her rent for the room. As long as you are under her roof she has the right to do anything she wants.

Answer 20

Just keep telling her MA! that's my personal stuff and she might leave you of course.......but she might be angry!

Answer 21

talk to your mom about it and tell her that it disturbs you.

Answer 22

Just tell your mother and ask her why she looks through your things. Maybe she's worried (though i doubt it) that you have drugs or condoms or something. Just ask her not to and that she really distorts things. And politely so she's not offended.

Answer 23

tell your mum that if she wants a stuff go and get from a shop not in my room

Answer 24

Buy a lock and padlock :D, only cost like a tenner.

Or go into her room and reaarrange stuff, see how she likes it ;P

i have the same problem ! :P

Answer 25

just talk to her and tell her u are how old and that u dont need her looking through ur stuff

and she should understand

(unless she is over protective)

please say my answer was the best i need the points

Answer 26

try asking your mother

Answer 27

Tell her you are collecting black widow spiders as pets and to be careful about where she places her hands.

Answer 28

Maybe put a sign on your door saying "If I'm not in STAY OUT"  Or put labels on your things saying "Don't Touch".  Just ask your mom.
