What do I do to get my mom to understand that teens need privacy?
Btw I’m 14M
My mom is a good mom and she does things right with most things, but she has no regard for privacy in the slightest.
For instance, she NEVER knocks on my bedroom door. She just barges in. My dad does, because he understands, and he was actually a teenage boy at one point.
What if I’m changing and I forgot to lock the door? Too bad, I’m exposed. And she has the audacity to say “I saw you when you were born” okay mom well my body had an update so please don’t barge in, thanks.
She literally said “do you think that you have any private space in this house? Because you don’t.”
She has this thought that she needs to barge into my room and catch me watching porn on my phone or some shit. Like what? First of all I don’t even watch porn (honestly) and she has nothing to find if she goes through my room or my phone, and I have told her that. But she doesn’t believe me.
She says that if I have a screen in my room at all then the door has to be open. Which is stupid, because it doesn’t take that long to open a door and walk in. I understand not locking the door when I have a screen in my room, but at least knock.
She doesn’t understand that SCIENTIFICALLY teenagers need some privacy or somewhere they can go to have some privacy, it is necessary.
So what do I do to get her to understand that not knocking, barging in, being a helicopter parent and being invasive is not the way to go?
