I (18F) am currently visiting family in Peru. I live in the US with my parents. My mom (44F) thought it would be a nice surprise to rearrange my room. I texted her about rearranging my room together but I specifically put together in all caps when i texted her about it. Five minutes after i had texted her about rearranging my room she facetimes me and walks into my room to show that she has changed everything. Trying to be nice I didn’t want to say anything and just went along with it. She finished showing me my room and I asked her “ hey i don’t see my desk” she then panned the camera over to the hallway where my desk sat next to a pile of trash. I couldn’t help but cry. That desk was a huge deal for me. before i had it i had to do all my schoolwork on my piano. It also gave me a space to do my hair and makeup, it’s also just helpful as i do a lot of schoolwork at home. That desk meant so much to me. She noticed i was crying and then started making everything about her. Saying that none of her kids appreciate her or the things she does for them and it would be better if she just stopped trying as a mother period. I explained to her that while I do appreciate the thought I specifically told her not to touch my room as she has a habit of doing these things and then we fight because of our difference in style. She even joked about “ oh i know not to go in your room, you would kill me”. She joked about that a week ago and revealed to me yesterday she had been rearranging my room since the day i left. She claims she wanted everything to be nice for when i start school, since I have three days back in the states before my first day, but now I have to Rearrange my room AGAIN so it’s functional for me, and i haven’t been able to think of anything but how i’m going to fix my room.
