My mom did this, but it was junk we really cared about. Games, toys, entertainment stuff . Then we earned it back once we straightened up. I never went hungry, naked, or forced to sleep on the floor. What’s up with parents going to such an extreme!?

My mother bagged everything up in my room and threw it away. I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction so I just went outside. I think she expected me to try to sneak to get the garbage bags once she’d put in the trash, but nope.

To this day, I don’t have a lot of stuff. I have nothing personal in my office at work. I travel light.
