Another one of us busted by Parents!

Its happend, i've got my entire collection of shoe's and boots spread across my room and my car. I woke up this morning to find my car, which contain my boots and wedge sandals, had been moved by my mother. I went out to check on my shoes and yes she had opened the boot/trunk and opened up my unlabeled cardboard boxes.
Since when does moving a car involve checking its entire contents?

My response when asked is going to be:

"Well if you won't like what your gonna find, then do go looking!! I could explain myself, but I won't. I'll let you think what you like."

One day I would have explained about my shoe's, but now I refuse to justify myself when my privacy has been invaded in such a way.
I really don't care what she thinks and she can stew for a while as punishment for this invasion of my privacy.

Well, the ice has been broken - shattered really, by her invasion. Since she felt so obligated to invade your privacy, then you're right - she deserves the shock or reaction she gets. There was no reason for it, especially since it's your own property.

Your stuff is your own, and no one should really have the right to go pilfering through it like that. GRRRRR.........

Ask her if she was expecting to find crack and also ask what she was smoking that made her not ask you directly first, put her on the spot.

Well that brings up a good point, it could be far far worse than a few pairs of heels. I happen to know that she doesnt know about my brothers little part time affections for "illegal substances".

I'm still furious, but I take pride in knowing that she has just washed and ironed 4 pairs of my womens jeans! :D
Which is something I always do myself normally, for obvious reasons.

Personally, I believe privacy laws sould include those between 13 and 18 years of age, as that's the typical "adult" age of the old west. I feel we've failed our modern children, lobotimizing them through too much knowledge that they haven't any need, and failing to provide them what they do at an age-appropriate point in time. Regardless, I think this is one of the reasons the age of consent in most (all?) states for marriage is now 18.

Having said that, folks, please realize I'm very protective of younger women's rights, and my ancestors came from an isolated farming comminity on which everyone grew up rather quicker than today's teens who're bombarded by such ridiculous messages from Hollywood and the rest of society that they don't know where to turn to advice anymore. We were a very conservative (but accepting) farming community, but my kids are exposed to both non-accepting and quite promiscuous messages, neither of which with I agree.

I'm not exactly in my teens anymore :0
Closer to 30 infact, I live with parents because the cost of living in the UK is too high if you have a job. Maybe I should become unemployed and live off the state.....

Come to US, I have a job and spare room for you. Pay is good. Hell, everybody is moving here anyway. We need more men in heels in the US.

Mikey - if you want to get your own place enough you'll find a way - even if it means being poorer, changing jobs, working overtime, whatever it takes if you want that real feeling of independence enough. Even if it means doing a house share.

I remember buying my first flat after twenty years of marriage and the wonderful feeling that I could say goodbye, to whoever, come home and shut the door.

If you are 30 years old, it was definately an invasion of your privacy for your Mom to do an obviously illegal search of your car. Maybe you should do a clandestine search of her car, closet, and dresser drawers to see just what you may find. Then maybe that will deter her from ever violating your privacy ever again in the future when she finds out just what it feels like to have someone else to do it to her. Cheech!!! What a bummer. She should have cut the apron strings long ago.

I would let her stew in her own juices until she brings it up again and then I would let her know, in no uncertain notice, that it had better NEVER happen again, EVER.

Good time to start heeling around the house, don't you think?
