Well, it was "you are so damned irresponsible I mean you forgot to do the dishes like we told you to, even though you've vacuumed and done dishes and laundry every day for a few weeks now, we will treat you like you went out and got pregnant while selling crack and take away everything and you have to clean your room which is a mess and which I am a perfectionist about in exactly one hour and you get not privileges like us paying for your lab fees for school or picking you up if you miss the bus and we are taking away your allowance and your phone and your computer and everything else rawr rawr rawr".
I understand where my parents were coming from, but damn. If I have to find my own rides to school, having my phone so that I know people's numbers would be helpful. If I'm not allowed to make any money, paying my own band and lab fees is going to be a bitch. Et cetera.
So far, I have earned my phone back (because I needed to give a friend

s and emotional support), my iPod back (because I need it for band), and rides to school, from school, and in town. Oh, and the computer, but only because I did a crapload of work yesterday.
