Paint and Flowers

[Guest dayday]

Well, my mom just redid my whole room. She painted 3 walls lilac and 1 blue and said she was going to put clouds in it. I hate puffy clouds so I asked to do it by freehand. She says it's just lines but they look fine to me. She can't paint and has no taste in art. I have a purple and white bed set that's flowers basically. There's no door on my closet she took them down and put up a curtain. Now my dresser's inside my closet and all my stuffs in the attic. A have two flower rugs on my floor and two matching pillows. A have a Winnie the Pooh throw she's going to put on a bench in my room O_o;; and she spent $5 on a chair for people to sit in and no one ever comes to talk to me. (very happy about) My t.v.'s not where I asked for it to be. She wanted to throw away half my stuff. There;s a giant watch on my wall which is also Winnie the Pooh with Eeyore on it. That's purple too. That's basically the only thing I like about my room now is the clock/watch hanging on the wall. I like Eeyore he's my favorite character. I love Winnie the Pooh!! Oh sorry. Well, that's how my new room is and the only thing I asked for is that I move my bed so I can do Tai-Bo in my room.

Whoa. My mum is a good painter and home design person. ^^ She wants to do my room in a boat theme -_-. Yeah a boat theme. Ropes. Steering wheel. All. Since we're moving to a new house (not far) I asked her not to so that's ok. She wants me to keep the blasted boat models. Blast!

Dayday I think you're mom just cares about you. She probably works really hard for you. But it's your room so you should get the first say.

lol, well your room sounds a bit more fun than mine. at the moment its just blank walls with random anime posters, a parasal, and a picture of dolphins, i'm missing a door to my closet, and nothing really matches. but my mom said i'm aloud to draw on my walls, so i'm doing elvish vines on the door and closet borders and a dragon behind my front door. fun, but its heck to try to erase if you mess up.

I wish my room was like that. And I can't move my bed since I would have to move everything else first. It took up most of my room and was in the middle of the floor.

i had to paint my own room, white walls. and then i just put furniture i found around the room and and pasted pictures of random singers and anime and movies i like and dragons. my room used to be my brothers and they broke the closet door. when my mom saw it she said it sucked and i went away for a while and she tore down all my dragon pictures and a TINY picture i had of Salvado Dali because he was the devil. all in all, i think she tried pretty hard to please you even if the decore does suck.

I think she lost her mind and is going crazy. She thinks I'm not girly enough and too much of a tomboy. I just wanted to do Tai-Bo for heaven's sake. I only like the color lilac. I don't want it in my room everywhere.

[size=1]Well, look at it from you mother's point of view.

Your daughter mentions that she wants to change how her room looks so that she can do Tai-bo in it. You decide that, perhaps this is a hint that she wants her room to look different. And anyway, the room has been the same for a while so maybe it's time for a change. So you put a lot of work it trying to please your daughter.

Now, you have two choices. First, you can tell your mother -- probably crush her pride in what she's done, and wound her emotionally, because of all the work she's done for [i]you[/i]. Don't expect her to do anything without you asking for a while after that.

Or, you could say nothing and wait a few years. [I presume you're not in your 15-17 age range?] Just put up with it for a while, then say that since you're getting older, perhaps it's time you should go for a new look. Not only does it save your mother's pride and feelings, but it also shows [in your own private way] how much you respect her.

However, it's your choice. If you can't stand the room for a few measley years, go ahead.

You can always put posters up, or dress the room up with orange pillow cases or something.

Just be nice if you [i]do[/i] end up asking her to change it. A lot of kids don't take into account that parents are people too, and the kids end up wounding the parents emotionally without even realising it.[/size]
