does a parent have the right to drill holes in the wall of your room to hang an ugly clock without permission

Answer 1

LOL I'm sorry i just got this awful image in my head...Well i think if you talk to your parents and tell them the clock is ugly, you could compromise. I'm letting my nephew design his own room, my mother just shakes her head that a allow it...Umm things are really getting interesting in there, but i want him to have his own space...

Answer 2

A parent should above all respect their children, especially in the privacy of their own room. (Unless the parent suspects that the child is doing illegal and immoral things in that room, it is the Child's til he lives at home, and a Parent should teach respect and do things with respect if they want children to grow up giving them respect.) Even if it is their house and their walls, your parents should have consulted you if you wished a clock hung in your room. If you had agreed and said "yes", only then should the clock gone up.
I am thinking that your parents did this "clock thing" without asking for your advice or consul as maybe a last resort. What I am saying is, are you late or tardy for school, meals, appointments, etc. .. If you are, maybe Mom and Dad figured that with a clock in your room you might learn "time management". If this is the reason, or if it is not the reason, accept the clock in your room like a mature young adult. Show them that you can except a challenge and that as a mature young adult, you will not whine like a little child and make good use of the clock.. They will be proud of you and I am sure you will be proud of yourself.. Good Luck.

Where you have tried to drill the holes, now try using an HSS metal bit, if it goes in then you have a metal lintel, make good the hole with filler and use self tapping screws to suit the hole you've made. Sometimes though, if it is a reinforced concrete lintel, it is the devils own job to get into it with a percussion drill (which is the normal diy home user drill), an sds drill and bit goes in like a knife through butter. If it turns out to be a concrete lintel find a pal with an sds to borrow :-)

Actually your parents don't need your permission to do whatever they want to in THEIR home. Do you pay the rent or mortgage? Do you pay for the utilities? Then you have NO right whatsoever to expect your parents to ask your permission for anything to do with their home. Just do as they ask and respect them. They are providing you with a home and I'm sure you don't offer to pay for anything now, do you? Have some respect. One day you will have your own home and you can then do whatever it is you want to do. Until then..stop crying about it and SUCK it up!

Answer 5

do you pay the rent for that room?? If the answer is no, then they have all the right in the world to do as they pleases with their own house, just keep quiet and try other methods instead of blatant protests, its not going to work

Answer 6

Yes they do...they are your parents and it is their home. When you are 18, you can get your own place and decorate it as you wish...and if/when you have kids of your own....you can hang an ugly clock in their room too.

Answer 7

Yup they sure do have that right. It is their home.

However, since it is in your room you could cover it with a sheet or something. I'm paranoid at times and I would think they had a security camera in it.

Answer 8

oh yeah...they pay for the wall...they pay for the clock...they can drill holes all they want

Answer 9

Unless it's your home (you are paying the bills) or you are at least paying rent (you could complain) then they have the right to do whatever they want to the property they are paying for.

Sorry.

Answer 10

Probably because it is their house. I don't do things to my children's rooms that they do not want. We all respect each others territory. They don't bother my stuff and I don't bother theirs. I don't think that it is fair. Why did she hang up a clock of all things?
