Best parents ever? LMAO. I'm sure you'd love if your parents just up and sold your shit as payment for your awkward and ignorant mistakes as a growing person.
Heh, at least those parents will get some money in return.
One day when I was 12 or 13, my parents wanted me to clean up my room. They said it once, they said it twice, followed by the usual loud argument with my father, then I said "get lost, ol' man" and left the house to play soccer with some friends
When I returned home, I found my room cleaned up and all the stuff was gone. My mom put all the stuff that was laying around on the floor in plastic bags and simply threw it away (no joke). Records, tabletop games, books, clothing, pens, toys, all was gone.
Drastic? Maybe. Effective? Oh yes. I never "forgot" to clean my room again, I tell ya.
Basically, I'm not a supporter of an overly authoritarian way of education but no matter how good alternative methods may be, there are things that simply require a zero-tolerance policy, otherwise you'll only create more of those egomaniac brats who abuse all sorts of "soft limits" without fear of punishment.
