Mum just mocked me having empty glasses, bottles etc. in my room. I guess that's her way of getting me to clean up...

[Moved from General Autism Discussion to Random Discussion]

From what you've answered in one of my threads, I can make up that I really really don't like your mum, so you can PM me anytime for support.

so clean them up. not much reason to have empty cups around.

How did she mock you?

Thanks, Uprising and Hyperlexian.

Uprising - Will do if something else comes up. Thanks again.

Hyperlexian - You're right of course. I have too much of everything lying around. Just tried to point of she has her own way of, er, 'saying' things.

Mod with Family Guy icon - fair enough, we don't really have a place to dissect our families, do we? Sounded to me like 'life' discussion anyway, as the General Autism Discussion community description says. But I wasn't being too elaborate about the neurological connection to my messiness. So again... Fair enough.

Can't remember exactly. Just pointing it out in a sardonic way which indeed got a chuckle out of me. She doesn't speak to me directly, she does it sporadically, her subtext is 'I didn't say anything until now, I'm waiting for things to pile up to tell you', LOL. Just a few years ago, she would literally say to me, 'I haven't said anything, but... [list of things that bother her]', and I'd go 'you notice you ARE saying it, don't you?'

Bottles and glasses are better than empty yoghurt pots at least! I was diagnosed aged 16 with lactose intolerance. When I moved house aged 17, I found a dairy yoghurt pot under my bed growing a new culture!

I used to get one of those gift-glasses with candy etc., it was proven useless after I left it there for months and didn't eat it for some baffling reason. Same with a chocolate making kit I had. Now whenever I get food gifts, I eat them immediately. I like chocolate, but I kept delaying even that, like I do with other things.

Actually, I have a wrapped lollipop in my room I haven't eaten yet. And some Toblerons.

My parents would just ground me whenever they felt my room was too messy. I was allowed to go out only if it were done.

Worst part was that at the same time, my dad would have a collection of half-drunk cups of tea all over the floor and bedside table in his room. All with various stages of new life formations in them. EEEWWWW!! !!

I don't feel entitled to touch anything if I go into someone else's room, or the livingroom, but my big (!) sister used to use the computer in my room, and leave the window open (I had years when I was intolerant to coldness) and leave her coffee cup here. I still remember her using my bed, too.

Are you one of these persons that use like +- 10 new/fresh glasses a day because you keep forgetting which glass is yours and always think that other family members secretly drink from it because they're too lazy to get a new one for themselves?

I am that person.

No, I'm more suspicious of utensils. I don't drink my bottles all the way down, and I leave them 'just in case'. I have no explanation for the cups, though. I tend to be more mindful when I'm awake more hours, and thus have more 'time'.
