A Ranting on My Current (Horribly Unfair) Living Situation

I want my own place where I can have friends and family over and some other person isn't embarrassed at the state of the house or inconvenienced because there are guests they didn't invite and/or want here. I want to be able to have candles burning and not have to worry about a child messing with the flames because my child knows better but other children aren't as behaved as mine. I want to be able to have my scented oil plug ins without fear of a child messing with it or pouring them out. I want to not have to worry about putting pants on or covering up when I exit my bedroom because there would be no one to be offended by my pantslessness. I want my daughter to have her own room with her own bed that we can decorate however we want and it not interfere with anyone else's wants or desires. I want Shayla to be able to play with her toys wherever she wants in the house without fear of them getting lost in or mixed up with another child's toys. Shayla should be allowed to have her tent or tents set up and able to play whenever she wants without interfering with or getting in the way of anyone else. I want my own kitchen that no one messes with or cooks in but me. I don't want to worry about not having cleaned the kitchen the night before and it interfering with someone else. I want to have my own decorations and my own furniture in my living room. I want to watch what I want, when I want on my tv without worrying about someone else's opinion on my show and the effects of the show on other peoples children. I'm an adult, I should be able to do as I wish in my own home without worrying about upsetting another adult who thinks they are my parent when they aren't nor have they any right to attempt to parent me. The way I live my life and raise my child is no one's business but my own and my husband's. It shouldn't affect anyone besides us, and no one has a right to interfere in that process. Our elders make suggestions, due to their experience and knowledge on child rearing, but we have the right to not follow their suggestions and raise our child our own way. If I wanna spend all day sitting on my butt playing on the computer and playing with Shayla and not doing anything around the house, I should be able to without judgement from others (aside from my husband).
