this JUST happen.. i came home and EVERYTHING.. and i mean EVERYTHING in my room was completely rearranged, reorganized, stuffed in random places, moved across the room, just everything was completely wrong in my room. We just had new housekeepers come for their first day and all i could do was cry at the sight of my room. I really did.. i just cried, it's already late enough and it was going to take me so long to fix my room and put it back to normal. My mom apparently LOVES the new maids ??? i told her to come upstairs and i showed her how everything was wrong. all she said was "they just wanted to make it look clean" LAKDJFKSJ... there are no words for me to describe how upset i am.. am i over reacting??
the only reason i feel so upset is because my room is MY place.. it's the only place i EVER feel comfortable, i don't even like when my family walks in my room, it's just MINE and it wasn't even messy in the first place its just like the housekeepers had the sudden urge to throw random stuff into empty shoe boxes and put them under my bed ...??? so i've spent the past HOUR re-doing my room... i'm not even kidding, i told my mom that i don't want them to clean my room and that i will do it from now on and apparently she won't let me do that because she doesn't think i'll actually clean up...how do i show her that i don't need a maid? and am i over reacting??

I'd be mad too if someone came in and completely changed how my stuff was organized. Like you, & just about every other teenager I know, I want my room a certain way, and I keep it how I feel comfortable. Well, I guess going to your mom was a bad thing because she doesn't understand how you feel. I guess you could leave a note for them, or you could keep your room SUPER clean so they'd have no reason to go in there anyways. =]
beckss answered Tuesday April 4 2006, 4:50 pm: I dont think youre over reacting at all. Yes i know there job is to clean but not to rearrange your stuff, thats yours. Keep your room clean to prove your mom wrong and/or tell the maids not to move your stuff i mean seriously you could have something you need in a certain place and if they put it somewhere else youre going to have to look for it all over the place! its YOUR room and YOUR stuff YOU should have it where YOU want it even if it could be cleaner. =)

xEVYx answered Tuesday April 4 2006, 1:23 am: just start cleaning and keep doing it, she'll see that you can do it on your own. but i don't think you're over reacting, id be the same way..i never let anyone in my room. just be chill about it, itll work out
sizzlinmandolin answered Tuesday April 4 2006, 1:20 am: I don't think you're overreacting. Don't try to go through your mom she doesn't seem to understand what you're feeling. I'd say leave a note. Make it nice though. Tell the housekeepers that you would appreciate it if they didn't move things all around. I don't think it's a bad thing to have them clean your room. Wash the windows, sweep/vacuum the floor etc., but just let them know that you'd rather they not rearrange everything on you. Don't take it out on anyone just yet, right now it's just a misunderstanding. I hope that everything goes well for you and good luck. :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

It was their first day and they made a mistake, that is perfectly understandable. Just let them know not to move things around in your room. They can clean in your room, just tell them not to move things around because that is the way you like it and don't want it changed. Simple as that.
It is your room, and how it is organized should be left to you. Their job is to clean, not redecorate.
Lol, I hope I helped and you get everything reorganized!
