How can I convince my mom to let me move my room to the basement?
It’s just us two, in a four bedroom house. Stupid, eh?
Well anyway, I’m sick of living RIGHT ACROSS THE HALL from her. It’s like living in a fish tank and I hate it.
If I were to live downstairs, I’d actually get a little peace and quiet.
Not to mention, PRIVACY. For instance: I have this cigarette in this slipper in my closet. I have to go to the basement to smoke it. I can’t do that very well without my mom (squeaky floors upstairs, I’d be easily detected) knowing. And waking up. And killing me. And not letting me finish my cigarette. But, in the basement, all I’d have to do is wait till she goes to bed to smoke it. Just a simple example. I could talk on the phone without her hearing my conversation. There’s a walk-in closet. I could sneak out undetected.
But the thing is, we JUST got my upstairs bedroom painted, so she’d be a little pissed if I decided to move my room to the basement. How can I make up a good excuse to live downstairs? It’s not like I can say “hey mom, what’s up? I’d like to move downstairs because frankly, you’re a b/tch, and I’d like a whole floor between you and I so I could sleep at night. Also, I’d like to smoke and sneak out without being caught. So can I?”
Yehhh… So any help would be great!
She smokes too. So, not only could she not be able to notice as much (if for some weird reason she woke up when I lit up) but she’s putting herself in way more danger.

Here is what my neighbor did. He lives with his wife and 2 daughters. One late night I was looking out the window. I saw him sneaking out at 3 am for a cigarette. He hid behind his car and started his cigarette.
My brother just smoked in his bedroom with the window open.
lol,ok so the room painted kida suckes,just tell her you are not trying to hide anything,but you are getting older now and would really enjoy some privacy.let her know your door would be open anytime she wanted to come in,but if u say that,she wont have a need to.people dont invite parents in if there is something to hide. so she will feel better,offer to help her fix your old room into something she would like for herself,a give and take kinda thing
actually if you smoke in the house your mom can smell it even if you go down stairs and shit there’ll be a distinctive smell. and second i think your tooooo young to be snoking kid. ok i bust you right now but i won’t because i know how you feel about privacy. smoking causes cancer because of over smoking. your mom probably knows you’ve smoked and eventually she’ll catch you. i drank when i was 7 but it tasted afull and i learned my leason from it. please stop smoking it causes harm to yourself. think about it before you light another.
I’m going to be blunt with you on this one: I think smoking is absolutely disgusting. If you want to move into the basement just so you can suck butts and inhale formaldehyde and rat poison, then that’s just stupid. Not only that, but you’re putting you’re mom’s health at risk too. The smoke isn’t just going to stay in the basement. The carcinogens float throughout the air and can take weeks to evaporate. So please stop before you really get sick (you know; cancer, emphysema, asthma?) I know it sounds like I’m preaching to you, but you’ve really got me worried. I thought you knew better than that.
So please quit, or your mom will eventually find out.
Just put a fan in your bedroom window then your smoke will blow outside and the noise from the fan will help drown out any noises you are making in your room. Tell your mom it is for getting fresh air into you room since she smokes.
Or if you really think living in the basement is better (I would think smoking down there would be more noticeable since smoke rises) you need to find a way of buttering up your mom so she will be agreeable. Maybe your old room can become your mom’s “home office” and then the paint job can be claimed as a tax-deductible expense. Or maybe some other use your mom may want an extra room for.
Just be careful with smoking and sneaking out sounds like a big risk cuz of the possible call from the cops to your mom when you get caught or worse–hurt. I used to live in the basement and it was okay except there was no real door to my room and people could just come walking down at any time.
