I live at home and pay rent. I graduated from university and I have a good job and I don’t mind contributing to my household. It is a nicer neighborhood than I could afford to live in otherwise and it is close to a bus route that takes me right to work.
I keep all of my belongings in my room including my computer, my television, and my gaming consoles.
My parents often host family and friends who have children that are bored because my parents really have nothing for kids since all of my older siblings and myself got old.
I thought I was being nice when I bought an old Switch and hooked it up in the family room and added it to my account. That way kids can play Mario or Zelda and my stuff gets left alone.
Recently my aunt came over with my young cousins. They played for a while but got bored and wanted to see what other games I had. I said my room was off limits and my mom and aunt immediately tried to get me to let them in.
I said no problem but make sure you don’t eat any of my candy or gummies they see in my room because they are all weed edibles.
Nope. My aunt almost put her kids behind her like she was protecting them from the devil. My mom said that I could clean up my room and put them somewhere safe. I reminded her that we agreed that if I was paying rent I got privacy in my room.
My dad agreed with me and he got a locking door handle from the garage and installed it while my mom fumed. (He has EVERYTHING in that garage).
My mom said that I’m being rude by not sharing my stuff with guests. I asked my aunt if I could borrow her car to go out with some friends and she immediately said no. I said it was rude not to share and she called me a smartass.
I went to my room and put on my noise cancelling headphones and played Diablo and had a couple of gummies from my stash in the back of my closet where I keep them.
