Executive Decisions

Yeah it must suck that despite paying an equal share of the bills you don't get consulted about every little thing.

You had better learn to deal with it, because when you get out into the real world and get a full-time job, you're most likely going to have a boss, and like it or not, your boss gets to make decisions about things, and sometimes you will disagree with the decision made.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Then I would say that this is your father's war to wage. Best you could do I guess would be to try to incite him into raging about it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

If you're mad about them replacing a gas stove with an electric one, then you're being fairly shortsighted about that, in that significantly rising gas prices makes owning a gas oven far less cost efficient than owning an electric oven. But you wouldn't know anything about that.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Then stop acting like it. The fact is that it is your parents' home, and I am gathering that you don't pay any bills or pay rent to them or anything, since you haven't mentioned that yet. Well unless their actions are just seriously causing a negative effect on your life, you're pretty much just going to have to deal with it until you move out. I'm sure you'll be heading to college at some point in the near future, right? Well should your parents say "Hey Timmy we're remodeling the house and despite the fact that you're really only going to be living here full-time for another 6 months of the rest of your life, we are going to go ahead and ask your permission before we make any decisions regarding the remodeling. We don't want the next six months of your life to be in any way an inconvenience, so we're going to make sure that the remodeling, which will probably last 10 years or so before we need to remodel again, suits your wants, tastes, and needs over the next six months." Who knows, maybe with the money saved by switching to an electric stove, your parents will help cover a portion of your living expenses during college.

And also, money spent on the house, which I am assuming they own, since who remodels something they are renting, should be considered an investment, as it increases the value of the house. So don't try to say that any money saved on this or that was spent buying it or remodeling or whatever.
