Today, I learned the hard way that my parents leave the baby monitor in my room when my boyfriend stays over. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend's parents found out we had a sleepover while they were on vacation. His dog had retrieved the underwear I had unknowingly left and brought them to his mom. FML
Today, my boyfriend sneaked into my room, not knowing I wasn't home. It would have been great, except my dad went in my room to put laundry away. FML
Today, I was woken up by the sound of someone in my room. I started freaking out, thinking someone had broken in, so I kicked them, only to realise it was my boyfriend coming back from the toilet. I'd forgotten he was staying over. FML
Today, I woke up to a stranger in my bed. Just as my parents responded to my screaming, I remembered that I'd helped my boyfriend sneak in through my window last night. FML
Today, I found out the hard way that my dad sleeps in the nude, when I rushed into my parents room at 3 a.m. to inform them that there was a bat in the house. FML
Today, I learned that my boyfriend hides valuables in the washing machine under dirty clothes when leaving town for the weekend. I learned this AFTER I'd done a load of laundry. FML
Today, my boyfriend thought it would be romantic to throw pebbles at my bedroom window in the middle of the night. It triggered the burglar alarm, which woke up everyone in the house. If my parents didn't know I had a boyfriend before, they certainly do now. FML
Today, after I spent a weekend at my boyfriend’s house, I came home to find the locks changed. My parents decided to change them because they “don’t need me slutting around under their roof.” My boyfriend lives 4 hours away and I have nothing but an overnight bag. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I decided to sneak into the shower at her house while her parents went out to eat and a movie. Half way through our shower we heard a knocking at the door, it was her mom. We had left all of our clothes downstairs. Safe to say I won't be allowed there any more. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to meet my parents over dinner. During the meal, he excused himself to the bathroom, and when he didn't come back after a few minutes, I went to check up on him. I ended up finding him in the living room, pocketing a pack of ambien from my mom's bag. FML

I’m curious to how old you are. If you’re over 18 this is beyond a creepy move and they should respect your privacy. If you are under 18 why the hell are they letting your boyfriend over while they disrespect your privacy?

No, it's illegal in Victoria (where OP is) to monitor or or record video/audio of private spaces (e.g. bathroom, bedrooms) unless you're a party to what is being recorded/monitored.

Their house, their rules. Still a dick move though.

No not their house their rules. That would be of they told everyone they're surveiling them. This is simply a breach of privacy and absolutely not ok.

I'm trying to think of an easy way to learn this. And failing. Asking you to respect a "no screwing in our house" rule is one thing. Enforcing it with a secret baby-monitor (which incidentally is probably open to anyone with a similar monitor to listen in) is something totally different.

Would parents prefer if their kids got caught doing out in public or something? I don't get it.

I don't even understand why they're letting your boyfriend stay over. ydi

OK, let me get this straight: Your parents let your boyfriend stay over but they expect you not to have sex with him? wtf?

I beilieve that's actually a typical etiquette rule.
