[C&K]

[FONT=Arial]That is really frustrating. All I can suggest is keep working her by suggesting that it is indeed, your room, you are the only one who has to look at the disorder! Maybe keep handing in new floor layouts of your room every week with different possibilities. She knows inside is best(that is the hard battle), she just has to let go of her anal retentiveness!

At least in a few years you will be able to make all of your own decisions on furniture placement in your home, but that does little to help your pigs now.

I don't know the dynamic between you and your parents, and usually I don't suggest nagging or rebelling against them, but I would perhaps try to really lay it out on the line, say that if anything happens to them, you are going to feel immeasurable guilt, be it over heating, freezing, or over heating. If they get sick and die, you are always going to wonder if it would not have happened if they where inside.

I don't know if you could, but I would be just about brazen enough to make a C&C, move them in, and then see how she deals with it. But, this could backfire by turning into a very ugly power play in which she turns around and never lets them in again just to make a point that she is in charge.

*Sigh* It is just so hard to know what to do.
