What do I do to get my mom to stay out of my room?

She is constantly in my room, going through things, she finds everything! I have no privacy. I’ve explained to her, tlaked to her, we’ve had arguments, but she says “My house!”. It is getting quite unbearable, and I have no means to move out just yet, as I am sure some will suggest.

Answer #1

Well…it is her house, and she does have the right to access any room in her house. I know that’s not the answer you want to hear, and morally, it is an invasion of privacy, but it’s her right. Maybe you can set up an agreement to pay her some sort of rental fee? If you’re paying rent on your room, she legally has no right to access it without your permission.

Answer #2

Its her house and she has all the rights to do that so my mom does the same and iam not even bothered though…. i have nothing to hide so! you argue with her that is why she comes over and over… if she comes this time try to play it cool and be nice to her so she will leave and never does the same thing like that….Peace out =)

Answer #3

just be naked all the time in your room,lol…

Answer #4

Why are you worried about your mum going through your stuff? Personally I couldn’t care less if my mum went through my stuff because I don’t have anything to hide lol. I’m lucky in a sense that my mum doesn’t go into my room, but if I was you, I’d just hide the things you don’t want her to find (which I’m actually not sure what it is you are hiding).

Answer #5

Well that’s not going to completely haooen lol. Try making good grades, and cleaning up the house, and just being “teacher’s pet” to your mom lol

Answer #6

As unfortunate as it is,when your mother says that it’s her house and she can do as she pleases – she’s right. What you could do, though, is take whatever you don’t really want her seeing with you. Upgrade your purse to a larger size and shove whatever in there. Since a purse is something most of us always carry with us, she won’t exactly have much access to that. If you can’t fit in it your purse, I suppose then she’ll just have to see and deal with it. You’re an adult now.. We all grow up and have things that mom doesn’t like seeing.

Answer #7

Get a lock box and put all really private things such as a diary etc in there, that way she can access your room, but she won’t be able to read all your personal things.

Answer #8

It’s not really “your room” it’s her room, you just sleep in it.

Answer #9

dildos and hustler mags, of course. What else would there be to hide? ;)

Answer #10

You mean, “mommy’s girl”?

Answer #11

Sure do!

Answer #12

Think like a drug dealer; if you want something hidden, you’ve really got to hide it. Let’s face the facts; you mom is going to root through your crap no matter what. Take small things for example, and hide them in the wall frame behind the wallboard or sheetrock, whatever you have on the fireblocks (peices of wood that go across horizontally between the studs) those make nice little shelves.

Are there any floorboards loose? If so, put stuff underneath those, and maybe throw a rug over it. Little nooks and crannies are the best place to hide things. Oh under your dresser if the bottom of it goes all the way to the floor, take out the bottom drawer and throw stuff down there too. No one ever thinks to look there. Plenty of space too. Good luck!

Answer #13

Lmao, It just annoys me that she goes through my stuff. I’m a very “my space” kind of person. I value my privacy.

Answer #14

Your mother is searching your room because she feels you are keeping things from her and she is worried. Either you have lied to her and she knows it or she has some reason to think you may be doing stuff you shouldn’t. Either way, now that it has gotten to this point you are screwed. Nothing is going to stop her. You need to come to terms with the fact that you are her child and still live under her roof.

Answer #15

Oh, lord.

Answer #16

well it is her house….when my moms bf used to that i would start yelling n ask him if i can help him find what hes looking for lol
