Now that I have more 411 on your situation, that sounds pretty fair to me. Obviously your 'rents don't want you to have it too easy, so you are well aware of the ammenities they are providing for you unlike these other spoiled brats. BTW-an old stereo speaker padded with paper towels makes for a great hiding place if the back can be taken off by removing a few screws. Hid my rolling papers, bowl, bong,weed, switchblade, brass knuckles, Kung Fu Stars, M-80's, etc in mine all through high school(I was a juvenile delinquent. lol). My mom was a nazi about snooping through my shit and she never found any of my contraband. Another good spot is you air conditioner vent if it screws on/off easily-(but for gear-not when the heat is on!!!)
