Today, my parents came home after being out of town for the weekend. I stayed home, did homework and completely cleaned the house, thinking I could earn some brownie points with them. They saw how clean the house was and accused me of covering up a party. FML
I agree, your life sucks (60815) - you totally deserved it (3226)

Have you done something like that before? Maybe that's why they doubt you and why you needed the brownie points in the first place.

I hate it when things like that happen. Did you get punished for the party you didn't have?

I think you should throw a party the next time they are out. That way, at least when they get mad at you for throwing a party, at least you would have enjoyed one. =)
Never clean anything ever again. when they ask you why you're so messy, tell them "I don't want you to think I had a party." See how fast they apologize.

LOL at #12. But yeah..that sucks. At least now you'll feel accomplished anyways at the super clean house? Iuno - I always feel better when the house is clean.
#12 ftw. Totally.
My mom used to be on my sis all the time about total honesty. And when my sister was honest, she got house arrest... Parents can be weird sometimes.
lmfao #12. wow. that is gold. i wish my parents could go away. and id do that. but my parents would be suspicioous if i decided to ever clean anything, since my room resembles a tornado 364/365 days a year.
It probably looked suspicious that you just cleaned the whole house for no reason. Next time they go away act really nice to them when they get back and maybe give them a couple nice gifts when they get back to mess with them.

Urk, I know how it feels to have your parents not appreciate what you did. Happens to me all the time.
haha wow
next time throw a huge party and leave empty beer cans all over the place
they wont suspect a thing!

Get out of jail free card.
Have them check with the neighbors (all of them) that there was no party. Then you are vindicated and have a free ride next time something does go wrong.
my parents would accuse me of something like that. that is, if they would let me spend the weekend alone in the first place
Next time, do throw a party, and leave it in a mess, when they ask "WTF!?"
Say:
"I didn't want it to look I was covering up, so I decided to leave it"
i have to say YDI. Only because....if youre going to be a good kid and do all that shit much less clean the house, atleast put it to good use before doing so.

wow trust issues haha there was no evidence of a party, so i hope you didn't get in trouble.
and don't listen to all these people, house parties suck when they're at your house. all you should have done is have one or two people over for some sex or something lol
hahaha #19
Ugh, that sucks. That really wasn't a bad idea on your part cause that would have been a great way to show them how responsible you are if they weren't such suspicious people. =( Bad luck on this one.

Haha parents are hilarious. That definitely sucks, but next time you should just have a party. If you're going to lose either way, you may as well have some fun.
#12 has it. Screw them. When they were teens they probably thew loads of parties when their parents left - that's why their suspicious. Being a parent isn't easy but some people just fucking fail at it. I don't know how you dealt with it.

Haha, my mom always used to think I was doing horrible things and that she just never caught me. She'd ground me for really stupid shit to make up for things that she thought I'd done anyway. BECAUSE of that, I actually started doing whatever I wanted, because I knew she'd ground me regardless.
Parenting win.

Well if you had thrown a party, obviously there was no harm done - the house is clean, nothing's broken, nobody's pregnant, etc - so what's the problem?
I thought that that same thing would happen to me, so I made sure to clutter my house back up after having a little get together.
I ended up leaving a beer cap on the table and a blacklight somewhere. Yeah haha I was a little dumb..
hey same here! except i actually did have a party.. :/ hm

that's completely unfair of your parents brizzle. i'd tell them that you didn't have a party and that you decided you'd have a productive weekend doing homework etc. unless you have a history of covering up parties, being honest with them should work...

High school most definitely suxxx!!!! haha but they couldnt be all that mad, plus it's still your fault for not having a party to clean up.
#58 - On 04/06/2009 at 11:09am by FrenchTickler09
Been in that situation before. It encouraged me to never clean again.
#60 - On 04/06/2009 at 3:03pm by PirateJack
Use to happen to me all the time when I lived at home, except I did actually throw parties. Anyways, if you're in your later teenage years, and your parents leave, and then come home to the house clean, they're going to assume you threw a party for the most part

You know, parents should notice that not all kids are diabolical insane party animals, and that sometimes, we just want to be their good girl/boy.
It sucks being accused of things you didn't do. Well, next time you might as well have the party and not clean up. Sounds like the same thing will happen.
#66 - On 04/07/2009 at 4:10am by YouDontSeeMe
just don't help clean the house anymore. they can clean it on their own.
#68 - On 04/07/2009 at 10:53pm by cantth1nk0fnam3
my parents say the same thing everytime they get back from anywhere.
#69 - On 04/08/2009 at 1:02pm by shloppyJoe
#73 is right, my parents are the same way so i just make it seem like nothing happened not spotless because i wanted to clean.
Ouch, dude, that sucks. Your parents seem to have issues with trust.
