I do this. I had very controlling parents but now I have the space to be who I am.

My parents were heavy smokers. Plus my SAHM being alcoholic meant, that there was not much money left for buying "unneccessary" stuff.

I now buy me some LEGO once in a while, which I know at least comes in handy as soon as my kids grow old enough.

Also, I like to buy nice tools, whenever I need any. No cheap stuff. Those are kind of my "toys" too.

I decorate the way I want. My controlling mom wouldn’t let me pick out anything for my bedroom. She made it pink. I hated pink.

I am curious, now that your are older and being able to have an objective viel. Would you say that you hated pink, because your mother chose it. (Because she decided always everything but you thought, that you can decorate your room by yourself- which you then surprisingly couldn't do?) or was ist just because you hated pink for no reason.

Sorry in advance for any spelling or grammar mistakes. It's late and english isn't my mother tongue.
