Hello everyone! I’m not sure if my parents will see this since they do use reddit, but if they do, oh well.
Also, please note that Im not that good at explaining things, so please bear with me.
So, about the end of October (I was still 12 at the time, my birthday is at the end of Nov.) I really messed up in school. I was missing a bunch of work, and I was basically failing my history class. this was real bad because report cards were about to come out. my parents spoke to me about this, and said I would have to keep my door open during school (online classes because of covid). I was a bit upset at this but it was nothing crazy. Fast forward to the following day which was a saturday, I was doing homework in my room. I went to another tab so the screen flashed in my face, but my dad was walking down the hall and saw the screen flash. He said that I couldn’t be trusted with my door on anymore, since he thinks I was watching youtube or playing a game or something. So, he took off the door. I thought this was only going to be a week-long scenario, but no. It’s been months.
It is so annoying and bothersome not having a door on my room. I have to get dressed in the bathroom, and there’s only one bathroom so I’m always rushing myself to shower, get dressed, then leave. I’m allowed to have free time now, so it does even make sense to not have the door on anymore. Whenever i’m in the bathroom getting dressed, someone always walks in there weather it me my mom, dad, or brother.
Whenever I’m on a call with friends, I always have to whisper or something because my mom works from home and we need to be quiet. But when my brother is on a call, he’s always yelling and shouting with his friends, and no one hears him. BECAUSE HE HAS A DOOR.
Not to mention, I’m not that open of a person. I get that it’s my family, but I don’t want anyone just looking into my room whenever they please. It makes me extremely uncomfortable and it doesn’t feel right.
Whenever I ask to put it back on, my dad always says “You seem to be used to it by now, you don’t even need it that much”. It feels like my right to privacy has been breached and I don’t like it at all.
I don’t know if i’m just being immature and spoiled. I am extremely grateful for the privilege to have my own room, but whats the point if it’s basically just an extension of the hallway.
tl;dr : My parents took off my door due to misbehavior about 6 months ago. Im not grounded anymore, but it’s still off to this day. When I ask to put it back, they say I don’t need it anymore since I seem to be doing fine without it.
small edit i forgot to mention: My grades have been extremely good lately. Like really really good. I’m also doing a saturday anti-pollution class every Saturday until june , so that might help my case,
