I wish my parents would at least let my snake be around them. When it came time to move back in my mom and dad adamantly refused to let me keep my babies with me, regardless if I said I would keep them in my room and they'd never see them unless I had to take them somewhere.

Even when I mentioned that relatively soon my boyfriend and I are going to get a Bearded Dragon! I explained that it's probably better than another snake right now (since my bf's mom doesn't like snakes and they have to stay at his house) to get something that eats leafy things and such. She said "now that's more my speed." So I said that if we got a Beardie I could keep it here with me, and she still said no. I hate not being able to see my "kids" all the time.
