Do You Think It's Right For a Parent to Do This?

Tweet

First off, I'm going to start with my parents are divorced, I go back and forth from my moms and dads every week. Also I'm going to say that I'm 15, almost 16 and am a guy. A few weeks ago when I was at my moms, my dad called me and asked if I had any interest in switching my room around. I told him no I want my room the way it is. Well, Last week, I was at my moms house. I came over to my dads and I went up to my room, all of my furniture was completely rearranged. Things that were on my dressers was put into big storage containers, A lot of the clothes that were in my room were just gone. All kinds of things that were laying around my room, under my bed, and the storage containers with all my stuff in it was just piled up on my bed. And then to top it all off, a pair of headphones I paid $80 for were laying on my floor destroyed. My guess was that when he was moving around furniture, he ran them over with my bed or dressers. So not only had he done it when I asked him not too, I feel it was disrespectful and a complete invasion of my privacy. I tried to explain that to him, but all he had to say was "This is my house and everything inside it is mine and I can do whatever I want with my house and everything in it," then he went on to talk about "How ungrateful you are," and "I spent may hours in this room cleaning it." So, to try to show my dad how I felt when I came home and saw my room the way it was. To show him how I felt violated, like my privacy had been 100% invaded, and how extremely disrespectful it felt to me, I went into HIS room and rearranged all of his furniture. Yes, I know it wasn't right. But i'm not sorry for it. I was trying to teach HIM a lesson on respect and privacy. I still don't know if I got my point across to him, but to him, I'm still some stupid kid that doesn't know anything, and he thinks he has the world all figured out, and that he is the best person ever that knows everything there is to know about everything. Som do you think that was right for him to do that? Would you ever do that to your 15/16 year old teenager? Please share all of your thoughts on this with me.
