Can my parents take my watch away from me?

I bought a Huawei band 4 pro some time ago WITH MY OWN MONEY. My parents agreed. Now they use it as leverage, for example when I'm supposed to clean up my room. Can you take the watch away from me?

"Yes, it is permissible for parents to take their children's smartphones away. There's no law that prohibits parents from" collecting "their child's smartphones. Parents are allowed to take their child's mobile phone away even if the child has their own phone Has bought pocket money or from monetary gifts and the parents have agreed to the purchase.

"It is then permissible to take a child's cell phone away if it is a sensible, educational measure. If the parents want to raise the child with it and punish their misconduct," says the Oldenburg lawyer Burkhard Bühre from https://anwaltverein.de/de/mitgliedschaft/arbeitsgemeinschaften/familienrecht in German Lawyers Association (DAV).

Whether cell phone or watch is irrelevant.
So clean up your room (and you can also talk to them in a quiet moment and say that you don't think it's okay that they want to take something away from you that you bought with your own money)

They can of course dictate that you have to tidy your room. But they are not allowed to move in your property as leverage.

Turn the tables: ONLY when I get my watch back will I start tidying up my room. Give them a short ultimatum and otherwise threaten with criminal charges. Of course, this should only be the very last step. But if you have no other choice to defend yourself against it, the following principle applies:

Where injustice becomes right, resistance becomes a duty.

Unfortunately there are always parents who think they have all the rights they want and their children are completely without rights.

It's bad enough that your parents need some leverage to tidy up your room, which you eventually messed up. Don't just ask about the rights you have, but find out about your legal obligation to participate in the household according to your age and your possibilities.

The ad will come to nothing. Let's take a look at the BGB:

Section 1619 Home and business services. As long as the child belongs to the parental household and is brought up or maintained by the parents, the child is obliged to serve the parents in their household and business activities in a manner appropriate to their abilities and their position in life.

And as you really put it: Where injustice becomes right… So, parents, defend yourself if the little children don't want to clean up again!

Right, I would make you like this Your own money is of no interest. The fact that you have "your own money" at all depends on your parents' consent. Your parents could have answered that question for you too. Parents are not what you think they are.

But you should never use illegal means to defend yourself. The only exception is self-defense. But you can't talk about that here.

What is illegal about temporarily confiscating children's belongings for educational reasons? Some things the parents can even take away and dispose of, such as Alcohol or cigarettes, it doesn't matter, or the little one has saved the pocket money or not.

That is permissible, but utter nonsense. Or is it because of the clock that you no longer tidy your room?

You should choose a measure that is related to the clutter.

Or you just tidy up your room, then you bypass a measure and also the conflict.

When I have tidied up my room there's usually a new "reason".
