F…Far out. I would have been more than upset. I’m glad my mum doesn’t do anything like that, and believe me, I would say my room is in a worse state than yours has probably ever been (I imagine you are a neat person)!

I wish my parents would give me more freedom – well, namely my mum – in what is in my room. My mum inspects the floor and the computer and things, scoffing at little particles of dust she finds on her fingers.

Your dad sounds like he needs to control himself a little. It was ridiculous of him to put your things outside. My mum throws things across the room when she gets angry at me.

About putting clothes on the chair/bed – I put mine on both. If it’s to be washed, I just toss it straight into the hamper. My mum hates seeing unfolded clothes on my chair. She also notices that I move clothes to my bed when I sit on the chair, and move clothes to the chair from the bed when I go to bed. XD

In reply to Ashley. He's not cleaning for me, he's tossing my stuff into a laundry basket and dumping it out onto the lawn to 'get some sun', which entirely different from cleaning, IMO. My mom doesn't feel that my room is needlessly cluttered, she thinks it was fine the way he was, he just decided to go on an angry rampage yesterday and toss everything outside. I'm fine with him doing that with blankets, because we do that every summer, but my clothes don't need to be tossed onto the lawn.

Hmm, your dads sounds a bit peculiar. No insects in the house sounds a bit odd. You can’t really prevent that, it just happens. It’s part of nature and life, you know? I can understand wanting you to keep your room clean, I tell my little sister to keep her room clean a lot, but she never listens. However, I don’t throw her shit out because of that. In the end she is the one that has to live in the mess, not me. I’m a very neat and organized person. So, I don’t understand why your dad would take it into his own hands and clean for you when that really wouldn’t be conditioning you to clean yourself. It would condition a person to just let it get messy because they’d know in the end someone would do it for them. Not saying that you’re like that, but if it were just a typical situation. Anyway, it’s still ridiculous. Especially, putting your mirror outside on a tree, that’s just weird. hahaha. Parents can be so.. different… you know.

Poor thing… that sounds a bit unreasonable.. no bugs in the house. Bugs are always in the house. Just think that once you leave the next you can keep the place exactly as you like it.
