i just finished talking to my parents upstairs, and my step-dad said that we need to set a dead line for when my room has to be cleaned everyweek. like.. wtf .. any ways.. he said saturday by 2 pm. i said no. sunday. he said no, cause then it wont get done. whats the diff if i do it sat or sun. then my mom said sundays fine. and he said by 2. and i said no. i'll just do it .. when ever on sunday .. and he kept saying it needs to be clean by 2, blah blah blah. finally my mom stepped in and said 4 on sundays is fine.. this is stupid i know, but what do you think. is it just me that thinks that my step-dad is rediculous? im 15 by the way .. not 5
Update:the thing is.. my rooms not messy, i clean it like once a week.. its not like its a pig sty.. why is it such a big deal when i clean my room

Well obviously if they have to set a time/day when you need to clean your room you must be acting more like 5 than 15.
All this seems to be is a power-play between you and your step-dad. You say you keep your room clean, so what difference does it make about the time? If it is done earlier, then you have more of the weekend to enjoy a clean room.
Another answerer was right when she said you must learn to cope with authority figures. You are always the loser when you try to butt your head against a brick wall!
Good Luck.
You need to listen to authority figures or you'll wind up like my sister-
19 and mooching off the rest of the family and writing 10 page blogs about how life isn't fair and the entire world is out to get her.
You want a little more leeway??? Earn it. Like everyone else has to.
My three year old picks up her room when told to do so- what does that say about your age vs. maturity?
i think your mom's ridiculous for not standing by your step dad, parents need to have a united front. as far as cleaning your room. if it's really not messy then just pick it up by sat. whats the big deal. to me it seems like your just playing your mom against your step dad.
You sure sound like you are 5. Take responsibility for your space. It really won't take much effort, and you may even find that if you get it done ahead of time you could earn trust points and maybe some extra privileges.
if this is the only problem you have with him then be thankful. you do not pay the bills. you are only fifteen follow the rules. be thankful your parents take the time to talk things over with you . and try to come to a solution together. no matter how old you are there will allways be rules. get used to it.
i think your dad thinks your room is dirty from his point of view and he thinks your growin up to fast and needs 2 give u somethings 2 do before u leave the house
Just make your room appear to be clean at all times. Why is he going into a 15-yr-old's room anyhow?
clean uo after your self everyday, then you will never have a dirty room.,and by the way who pays for the house? who puts food on the table? who ever does that is the one you should listen to
I would like you to try and show some respect for your freaky stepdad. He is, after all, your mom's husband. a little give and take is always good even in a freaky relationship.
