every time I hear about parents demanding rent from their own children it's insane. it's one thing to say "hey could you help out with the bills now that you're capable of doing so in order to ease some stress on the whole household", it's another to say "You're basically a stranger to us and unwelcome in the only home you've had your whole life if you don't start paying us money". how do these people like, disconnect from their humanity like this? that's not just a human being you're threatening to kick out on the street, it's your own child. don't you care about them enough to work with them rather than just threatening them with no way out at the very least?

[@Montewtf]

Yeah when I worked part time I gave my parents half my paycheck to help out around the house. Then they were paying for my college and I started working full time so I just paid for that instead. It was never rent just for living there

the only way id ever do this is to maybe teach them a lesson about budgeting, but even then id keep all the money aside and give it back to them when they wanted their own place (something like that idk). its so odd to me that people dont want to do everything they can to help their own kid get a leg up in life, instead they want theyre children to sleep rough over something incredibly petty

AITA be like Hey, I was a little annoyed that my 30y/o son brings his girlfriends to my house so I told him that from now on every girl I find in his room gets a bullet, I even bought brand new AK-47 for that purpose. One night as I was walking to the bathroom needing to pee, I decided to check out my security footage for that night and after spending 3 hours watching trees in my back yard, I saw my son smuggling a girl into our house. I went to my son's room, where they were sleeping peacefully, and totally vaporized that girl's head with a single well place, point black bullet. My son started screaming terrified and even called the police on his own father! I explained to them that it was the rule in my house, but they arrested me anyway, and now I am being tried for murder, am I the asshole? 69%: NTA - your house, your rules 21%: everybody sucks here - on the one hand your house your rules, on the other, maybe the girl didn't know about the rule, you should have let her know, and give her 60s to start running, after that time you can shoot her in the back. If you miss, she's going free

[@trolololo720]

NTA, your son needs to either start respecting you and abide by the rules or buy his own appartment. Oh wait, he can't, because he doesn't even have a job. He's a strain on the family and you need to kick him out. Maybe he'll learn to be a man

You jest, but if you swapped the genders of the lovers and set this 50 years ago, I'm confident that the consensus in America would have earnestly supported this.

I fulfilled my paternal duties by shooting the intruder and protecting her virtue," and he would have had the sympathy of most of the community.

The house guy is actually a sociopath, “my son does this thing that doesn’t wake me up but I check the cameras every day when I do wake up to see if my pointless rules that only serve to constrain him and make me feel powerful are being followed”. This man has so little power in his own mind that he feels the need to pointlessly flex the only bit of power he actually has on his adult son. The dads probably just butt blasted that his son is getting some when he likely hasn’t been touched in years. Big salt from him.

As a 25 year old who lives with her parents in a very small very old house, pre Covid, (when I was 22) my parents and I agreed that if I was out past midnight at a friends house for a party or something, I would just stay at the friend’s house. My biggest problem, and my mom’s biggest problem, is that my dad regularly goes to bed at 7:30 pm, or even sometimes 7pm, which in the summer time is before sunset (I don’t know how he does it) and so my mother and I have to basically not do anything after that point. I can’t even get a glass of water or snack out of the kitchen, because it makes too much noise. He claims that it’s because he gets up at 3 or 4 am, but he really just wakes up at 4:30 or 5 am but stays in bed until around 6:30 am. It’s not even like he has to do it for work or anything, he just likes to. So yeah, needless to say, it kind of drives me and my mom crazy.

I think that’s the part that gets missed in that discussion. It’s often not just the parents shaming you for quitting, it’s the entire system. There’s a reason even pre-pandemic academics had some of the worst rates of depression. An essay is a little much maybe, but enforcing boundaries with family is fine. Since they’re talking so much about exams, I’d guess they’re maybe in physics, maybe astro physics?

I can't be the only one who thinks the first post was a YTA? When someone asks for a ride somewhere and you know you have other plans later you don't just go "sure", you go "yeah that's okay but I've got plans later in the night, is that okay?". The passenger had no idea they needed to make separate plans. What pushes this over for me is the "well, actually" technicality of "I only promised a ride there". If not the asshole, the driver is at minimum an idiot.

[@Paradockzz]

I agree

[@JD2jr.]

Yep, that's why it's ESH, then again depending on how it was asked (like in the post it specifically said "can I get a ride *there*"), it may have been easy enough to misconstrue.

[@Gigator]

ESH for making assumptions, but it was the passangers job to make sure her ride there was her ride home. Here, it's fairly typical to get somewhere with someone, but they have other plans to get back home since they want to drink etc. Making assumptions like that is just naive.

At the core, there is some sense there. "Suffer (only a fraction) as I do, then tell me again how you insist on me continuing the PhD". It's just a weird and uncompromising way to interact with your family.

Oh my god that entire second post's comment section was boomer central. Complete with the horrific grammar and everything. I mean, look at the way the OP was writing about his kid; clearly having a healthy, communicative relationship with his kid must stopped being an option when his kid wasn't a CEO and homeowner by his 18th birthday. I even wanted to be on the NTA boat but not if it meant sharing wind with those birds, yuck

imagine not moving out by 25

[@ziggle5000]

This is the part that's mind blowing to me. I'm 25 now, if I found out one of my friends was using his parents place as a bachelor pad I'd instantly think much less of him and any woman I know involved. Sorry but at a certain point it's just kinda pathetic

[@rainbii]

for the first story, it was definitely a lack of communication on everyone's part. it also makes me wonder what they talked about during their long drive that neither brought up how they were going to return home. for the second one, i'm a little more on the fence. i feel like the backstory didn't give as much detail, so a lot of people are assuming things ( or it was edited ). i, for one, don't think it's an unreasonable ask for their son to be more quiet in the mornings when returning home. but giving a curfew seems a little much. and it doesn't sound like the son is trying to be an asshat. the son seems to be quiet enough that he's not waking up his parents, so they only find out through the camera footage. i can get them being annoyed by him breaking their rules, but they should really discuss alternate methods to resolve the issue and not establish these, imo, silly rules that clearly aren't working and just seem to irritate everyone. this is assuming that they haven't already tried these things, and the rules was more the last straw? i certainly hope it wasn't the first thing they came up with... also, i don't think the basement idea is a bad one. i'm not saying kick the son out of his room, but maybe have the son use the basement if he brings gusts home late. esp if it'll keep the noise down and the son can still be in his own home. also also, i'm really against the idea of the son not being able to come home in the morning if he's been out all night... that just sounds dangerous... :( :( for the final one, i think it's hilarious that she tried to get her parents to write an essay. is it weird? for sure! i could only imagine trying to get my parents to do the same thing. it would not work out. i think she should sit her parents down and walk them through the issues that she's having, assuming she hasn't tried this already. even if she has to go through the article or video or whatever with them, and bring up her own experiences to try and help them understand her pov.

I love the first post, because it is slightly how my situation was at home with my step dad, and for gods sake I am happy that I went to college and got my own rules. At this point I am onlx at home for Christmas because of rules that are just nonsensical

[@TheMrTatero]

"Why do so many redditors love the idea of 'owning' their parents?" Probably because the average redditors is an 17-22 year old male. Reddit comments should also include their age and gender and a lot of the comments start to make way more sense

It sounds like the son needs to be the bigger man and kick the dad out of the house.

[@JediMaestr0]

NL’s take on the 25 year old one is silly. It’s their house, their rules. If the guy doesn’t like it, he should move out.

[@FirFez]

Man, I feel that once you’re out of high school, an adult, and not paying rent, if you’re living with your parents, you should act like a guest. If they set house rules, then follow them. That’s the whole allure of getting your own place to live.

Expecting a ride back home from a party is wild to me. Unless it was previously discussed. Not discussing it is weird as well since it would seem like someone going to a party might get dunk and not be able to drive back.

[@torqueblue]

It is weird, Giving a Friend of a Friend A ride to a party is pretty odd too. I mean 40 minutes of being in the car and not discussing the Plan on the way there is just Stupid, Personally They're both at fault.

yeah that's smart though so we can't have that

[@testingmysoup5678]

It's a garden party, if it was a house party it's different. A garden party it's definitely acceptable to expect a ride home. He should have let he know what his plan is really weird he wouldn't
