Would you let your kid do this?
I am 20, living at home during college.
I got a hammock at the beginning of the summer as a gift. Over the summer it proceeded to rain a lot, so I never got to use the hammock much. Now its getting to be fall and soon its going to be getting cold and such and I don’t want my hammock stand to rust or get nasty and rusty but I also do wanna take it down and not be able to use it over the next 6 months.
I want to stick it in my room. I have a chair in there that just gets used to throw my clothes on and I want something I can actually use to chill and relax on.
My mom already said no before because she doesn’t think it’ll fit but I plan on rearranging my room to make room for everything.
So if I am the one cleaning my room and moving stuff around then whats the big deal?
She just doesn’t want me to.
She thinks it isn’t going to fit.
BUT
I have already done most the cleaning and rearranging of the furniture. She should be happy she is getting an extra chair to sit in the living room and I am thinking about giving my tv to my bother.
As a parent I wouldn’t care if you had a hammock in your room. If you’re the one taking care of everything in there and it won’t cause problems then I see no big deal.
No big deal but it won’t feel the same when used inside. A bean bag is way better and takes a lot less space.
sounds like a great idea to me
but mom is mom and if she says no you can’t fight it she pays the bills
go on mom let her do it
Well if you dont pay rent (and I’m not judging) than she has the upper hand…
So I would challenge her and say..okay lets make a deal….let me put it up and see if it fits. If it fits than I get to keep it here if it doesnt than I’ll put it away in the garage (or whatever) and do the dinner dishes tonight. (or something you wouldnt ordinary do that’ll help her or make her happy)
It sounds cool to me too, but your mom is the boss and the one who pays all the bills. So if she says no then you need to go with it!
sound like a good idea i would just do it but thats just me lol
When you have your own house, you can put a hammock in it. It is her house and you have to follow her rules. Perhaps she things it will scratch the floor (if it’s the kind with a metal frame) or that it’s dirty and doesn’t belong inside etc. Whatever her reasons, you have to respect them.
If it didn’t cost me any money, and it didn’t wreck my house, then I wouldn’t care what my son wanted to do with his room.
Maybe your mum just doesn’t want the hassle of helping you move your furniture around, but if you can do it by yourself then I don’t see what the problem is.
I don’t know. I never heard of anyone doing that but it sounds fun to me. As long as you keep the room clean I don’t see what difference it makes. How do you and your mom get along otherwise? May be it’s really not about the hammock but control issues.
Olivia J makes good points. You will need to clean it up before you bring it in. Also put something under the base to protect your carpeting/floor.
