Am I overthinking or overreacting?

[u/Suspicious-East-2663]

So im an AuDHDer 20(F). And i have a part time job that im relatively good at. So i get my own income to buy the things i need or want. Like my tablet, phone, and VR headset.

I had bought these things with my own hard earned money, so i think i get a say in what i can do with my things right? Nope because my mom takes my tablet and headset every night, gives it to me after i do all my things for the day but only gives me 2 hours a day to play on the headset (that includes breaks for bathroom or food), and makes me lock up the phone in a literal box that i have to keep downstairs that i can't open until the timer is up

Now i know i need structure for these things but i feel like this is a bit much. Keeping the things i paid for in her room and locked in a box downstairs while im upstairs is a little absurd.

Am i overreacting?

I disagree. I don't think you are overreacting. You're an adult and you bought those things with your own money. She shouldn't be allowed to take them away from you. They are your property.

But I agree that you should do your chores when asked if you still live there.
