I couldn't read the comments since I am not signed up. My guess is she isn't the a-hole.

Lol, definitely NTA. I'm surprised I'm alive sometimes because we would use the fabric scissors when we were little. I will never forget my mother's face when she walked in one day and we were cutting out snowflakes with all that folded up paper...yikes. 😱

That's some pretty unanimous NTA for Reddit. The good scissors are precious.

NTA and who in their right mind would screw with the special or fabric scissors?
And this is why I don’t have a glue gun. And my favorite trimmer was broken. Because people ‘borrowed’ them and left them laying around to be stepped on.

I didn't read the comments, but she is NTA. They were obnoxious and now they are banned. Welcome to real life!

NTA. DH came in my room, felt he needed to straighten something out and sent a small pile to the floor. Out he goes.

nope. this is why DH and i have separate offices. We share an office, but I have my own scrap room. My youngest son was always in there with me. Now that he has his own house, I do miss him. My Crop o' Dile that was dropped several hundred times while being flipped in the air, does not.

My Crop o' Dile that was dropped several hundred times while being flipped in the air, does not. i have my own scrap room that also serves as my office. the only item i ever need from DH's office is his color printer. no point in me having a separate one when i have a wireless one i can access. that just leaves me with more space for scrap storage. LOL DH and i used to share a huge room. it was fine but when we had a change to have our own rooms, we took it. best decision ever. that and separate bathrooms.

LOL DH and i used to share a huge room. it was fine but when we had a change to have our own rooms, we took it. best decision ever. that and separate bathrooms. We ended up adding on a fifth bedroom when our boys decided they would rather have their own rooms. We had an office and a guest room upstairs and neither boy wanted to move upstairs to a small bedroom. Ha. Didn't blame them. My favorite part was that even though they had their own rooms, at night they still slept in the same room after they had their own space. But now they have their own houses, so we have five bedrooms. Kind of weird to have so much space, but I really love it. We share three bathrooms.

That one took me a minute! I forgot it stood for Am I the asshole? No, she is not the asshole. I do not have my own space and I don't mind sharing my supplies BUT it must be approved by me. I'm protective of my crafty supplies.

The hardware store has a good line of locks and keys. Doors, to go with, if you need one.

The best thing about this post is that there are enough crafters for this to have a lot of responses. While stuff moves from the shelves here at lightning speed when there is a good sale, I often feel a bit isolated. Granted, many of these people seem to be more into sewing than scrapbooking from what I've scrolled through so it's not completely the same, but it's close enough to put a smile on my face.
I think it's hilarious there was someone saying that she didn't have a right to lock her door.
One of my biggest gripes lately is that I just don't feel like I have any space for myself. I have issues in my craft room with the kids jumping loudly on their floor...which is my ceiling. I've spent a lot of time retreated to the master bedroom because I have my diamond painting stuff up there and even my bedroom doesn't offer me solace. There is usually a kid in my spot on the bed as soon as I vacate it. They change my lights (I don't often keep the overhead light on due to having a light sensitivity), my blankets, my fan settings, etc. I have long accepted that I can't walk into any other space in the house and have it remain as I left it, but I struggle to accept that it is too much to ask for to have my own damned bedroom be left alone.
Most of us are living on top of each other and have been stuck at home for nearly a year now...for someone to dare say that Mom doesn't have a right to a space that is entirely hers undisturbed from the rest of the family is ridiculous. We aren't martyrs, we are entitled to a place that brings us joy and peace of mind that we don't have to share with others. I'm glad to see that the majority of responders understand that, too.

I'm protective of my crafty supplies. Same. I don't have 'special' scissors, but I do have ones that I use often (mostly for officey stuff) and it irks me to no end when they're taken without my knowledge and I find them missing when I need them.
I'm also protective of my craft stuff. I wasn't a good sharer as a kid and I still struggle to share with people outside of my home, but it is less because of selfishness and more because when I was forced to share the items would be broken by the person I was forced to share with and now many things I loan out are never returned. I don't lend my crafty stuff out unless I fully expect to never see it again and things that I don't want ruined by my family are used under supervision.

Nothing irritates me more than not being able to find something that isn’t in its place/where it should be when I need it. And that goes beyond my craft space... tweezers, clippers, Phillips head screwdriver, you name it. If you use it, put it back. This is why I buy my own versions and hide them.

We had a full set of nice screwdrivers hidden under our bed for years. DS would use our original set and they would disappear forever. I even bought a girlie looking cooler once, so he would not borrow it!
