Storing books,ideas for my situation?

ok so live at my parents have no book shelf..should I clean out a large drawer and use it to store books? I mean I wish to have alot of books off eden. I'd love to collect them ^_^ Well I just worry about my sister she likes to take stuff like that out of my bedroom nothin I can do because well it's my dad's house and the lock on my door is easily oppened with a knife...and my mom mentioned my dad went through my stuff before. I know he's opened my mail before because it might be porn. anyway maybe put a sheet over the books and some workout bands so it looks like I'm storing that kind of stuff in there? I don't have any books yet but I hope soon I can purchse some.

oh and if somethin ends up in my sister's room my dad sees it..it gets taken away. less

What about a locking box stored under your bed.

We have older and younger children in our house and NO ONE is allowed to go into any one else's bedroom without permission. That means even my husband and I don't go into one of our kids' rooms unless we have permission. If my Little One took something from a sibling's room, no matter what it was, I'd raise Holy Hell with the LITTLE One. She knows better than to get into people's private matters. Luckily, we respect our kids and they respect us (a lot of parents don't realize respect is a two way street) and we have never had a problem with the smaller ones going into the bigger ones rooms, since the little one's were toddlers and really didn't know any better. Even then, we made it clear "Please don't DON'T go into your sibling's room without being invited. It hurts their feelings and they deserve privacy." They understood very young this was off limits behavior.

How old is your sister?

Could you have a Family Meeting and talk about the lack of privacy in general, without using too many "YOU" messages (meaning you start sentences with things like, "My feelings get hurt when people go into my room without asking." NOT "YOU took my stuff!") Maybe the entire family could talk about how respect and privacy is essential to good Family and how that could be achieved. less

That stinks, I've been there kind of with my dad. Not about privacy so much, but about other issues where certain family members just never change.

I'd go with a locking case. I was at the post office a week ago and a woman was sending something to her husband overseas and it was one of those big like storage tupperware cases but it had like handles on the sides that clasp shut and you can put a lock on it. Maybe something like that would be a great way to store anything that you don't want removed from your room. less

Look into book covers at least? I think you can get nice stretchy fabric ones. I had them for my textbooks back in high school. but I agree with a locking case. if not a locking case, then a case that you can have for books, maybe put 'books' on it, and add other books so it doesn't look so suspicious. less

I, in fact, cover my Erotica with stretchy covers like Goth was talking about. My Erotica is my business, I have kids, they have friends, and when I want to read it or something (I might accidentally leave it in the bathroom or something) the book is safe unless someone opens it.

I'd go with a locking case. It doesn't have to be a sex toy storage box. It could, but Target and KMart sell what look like small safes that have a key to lock them. I use one for my medication, just for safety. less

I want to get some more stretch covers but am unsure where to buy them. Where do you get yours? I should also get paper ones, some of my books are paperback, not hardbound, and I know the stretchy covers won't work.... (I got the stretch covers from my school, but they don't have them anymore.) less

The problem with going bigger is it gets more noticeable and one will wonder why you have such a big storage case with so many books. You can always upgrade over time. That's the best thing about storage cases, you outgrow them and get bigger ones, and the smaller ones can be used for other odds and ends. less

Lots of great ideas.

Goth I was watching Wendy Williams today (talk show) and she showed the stretchy material book cover. She was saying how her son was loosing a point a day from his h.w for not having his books covered with it. She went out and got them I think drug store. She said it was 3.99


Kinky Girlfriend I think for now do the laundry basket thing and as your collection grows then see where is the best way to keep it from nosy relatives. I too would want want that giant sex toy suitcase, once I have enough stuff to fill it with. Like Goth said the bigger the storage unit the more noticeable it would be making your sister and other more curious about it.

Thanks for the links. less

ya I guess I don't like to upgrade because I don't want to buy something more than once..but I think I will get that box..who knows when but I'm thinkin within 2 monthes or so when my phone contract is up I'll have more money because I'm just not going to have a cellphone anymore. people tell me everyone has one and you need one..I'm just going to say watever I'm poor anyway its a cost I'll cut out. less
