Today, my divorced parents have started sending each other photos of both of my bedrooms, to, “compare the shambles and see who wins.“ FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my parents dropped by my new house, and my mother offered to tidy up for me while I was out. After they left, I noticed that her "tidying up" included throwing out all the pictures of my girlfriend and replacing them with pictures of herself. FML
Today, after my parents treating love like a war, always trying to score some sort of victory over each other, while me and my wife never argued a day in our lives, I’m the one staring down the barrel of divorce, while my parents have been happily married for over 50 years. I just don’t understand. FML
Today, I’m getting a divorce because apparently, when you send your now soon-to-be ex wife a live photo and she presses on it, you can hear your mistress speaking in the background. FML
Today, I went to visit my father. His new wife has hoarded out our childhood home nearly to the point of it being unliveable. That’s pretty funny, considering my dad used to literally beat us if our rooms weren’t clean or we left dishes in the sink. FML
Today, my parents had a loud argument over who is worse in bed. FML
Today, my mom asked me to take my dad's mail to him. The "mail" was divorce papers. FML
Today, I realized what terrible people my parents are. They divorced because they were having knockdown, dragged out fights over constantly cheating on each other. Now they’re cheating on their current spouses… with each other. My stepparents deserve so much better. FML
Today, I checked my mom's email to track a package I'm waiting to receive. Instead, I found out my mom canceled the order, and that my parents are getting a divorce and have been fighting via email for weeks. FML
Today, I went to my parents' place to visit. My ex-boyfriend's photo is on the fridge, but there aren't any photos of my husband or any of our wedding photos. FML
Today, my parents announced they're getting a divorce. Now I don't know who's going to do my laundry. FML

Just because their marriage is in shambles doesn't mean their maturity does too.

I didn't end up on the cover of House Fancy by letting my parents get the better of me. Let them know that you don't appreciate the competition, and that it's causing you stress. What difference does it make what your room looks like? I hate to say this, but I feel like this is a topical issue that's either a gateway or a cover up to much deeper, unresolved issues that will probably stay unresolved... And I have to say, I'm really sorry you have to deal with that.

Sorry to hear that they are acting like that. There is 2 easy ways to solve the problem. 1. Clean up your rooms. 2. If your old enough move out of both of their houses. Just saying.

You don't give a **** what either of your rooms look like. Why give a **** over other people's communications?

Why be a pawn ...divorce is harder on the kids... Constantly hearing one parent degrade another...

Doesn't sound like they're making OP a pawn so much as subtly tell them to clean up.

YDI for having such pigsty rooms. Sounds like your parents enjoy joking about you to eachother, which is better than many divorced relationships. Suck it up or clean it up.

So let me get this straight: Both your parents love you, You have two rooms, and you're complaining. Kids in Africa could eat those rooms, so be thankful for what you have Quit being a drama *****.
