My Parents Are Furious I Didn't Consult Them About Buying My House, Because They Planned

[@GlennSasser]

Why will mom and dad not let sister move into their house?

[@sebastiancervantesll]

That would be a no Ghost Rider!

[@quix66hiya22]

Noisy kids!

[@Lacota1375]

Simple, because that would inconvenience them. It's so much easier to make it someone else's problem.

[@GlennSasser]

@@Lacota1375 for sure

[@gekikara.gaming]

because they hate the loud sound of their grandchildren.

[@Julanta]

Rule #1 Never tell family your personal business as they make plans on your plans.

[@skid1mg]

Tell all the aunts and uncles, that it's good to hear they think family comes first. So, you'll give Sarah their number, and they can give her a home.

[@andyk1540]

5:40 my first response would be to ask: “I’M ONLY BUYING A HOUSE FOR MYSELF! WHY THE HELL WOULD I NEED FIVE BEDROOMS?!”

[@selenakalan2266]

Mum comments on house being perfect, I'd have responded: "Great! So she can buy it with her husband for her family." Sister messages cramped environment, I'd have responded: "Aww sounds like you need to be a better mother!" 😅

[@moviediva]

Mom clutched her pearls, like she is Ms. Cleaver. Tell the flying monkeys to take up a collection to buy a house for the golden child.

[@quix66hiya22]

June had more sense than to expect Beaver to buy Wally a house.

[@himwhoisnottobenamed5427]

@@quix66hiya22Buying a house for their stupid kid is really more of a Haskell family blunder.

[@thed165]

They have a lot of nerve. As if planning for OP to just let her sister, BIL and their three kids live with her wasn’t enough, they also fully planned on making OP cover all the rent and house related expenses to boot… They are entitled on another level….

[@sherrygrobaski7615]

They'd probably expect her to cover all the groceries, and all non grocery items (shampoo, soap, trash bags, paper products) also. And oh, by the way, since you work from home, you can watch the kids so we get a break.

[@Sleeve_Did_It]

Hmm... Sister won't even offer to pay rent or pitch in for utilities, making her a freeloader in the real world. But OP is "selfish" for saying "No"? That family seems to be experts in gaslighting and projection.

[@alexpaira8354]

Tom should man up and cater for his wife and children.

[@comicsgatekeeper9746]

This is the first story ever where the dumbass actually changes their number rather than get contacted ten years later by evil relatives 😂😂

[@wendigos_eat_people7177]

Your right. This is the first story I've heard a OP changing their number. About time.

[@RedCeltay]

This one isn't a Dumbass or a simp.😊

[@dallasgarcia5872]

How about mom and dad give Sarah their house? Better yet how about Sarah get a frickin job! They have the nerve to call her ungrateful...why should she be grateful? The family is nasty!🤢

[@Hiii_yal]

Yes I agree and Sarah's comment I thought we could live rent free and not pay utilities so we can save for ourselves hahaha wat a joke wat world does she live in lol

[@wendigos_eat_people7177]

It's not surprising when a family has a golden child and a black sheep dynamic going on.

[@quix66hiya22]

All those people wouldn’t let their entitled siblings and their families live with them for free forever either. 🙄🤣

[@robincornelius655]

Sister Sarah needs to get a real estate job, since she is so good at finding homes on the market. THE NERVE!!

[@susiq58]

Family's are crazy. Why is it the golden child is always broke and delusional. 😊😂.

[@Allie_phelps]

Because the parents always give them everything and constantly clean up their messes. Then they grow up to be selfish, entitled, spoiled rotten asshats, that expect EVERYONE else to treat them the same way their parents did

[@wendigos_eat_people7177]

It's because they are always coddled and given everything they ever wanted, spoiled,rescued from negative consequences, the parent subconsciously view the golden child as a mirror that reflect back at them the good parts of themselves. The black sheep reminds the parents of their faults and other unpleasant things, so they get far less.

[@nadiryoung9925]

Sometimes u just gotta tell people “i don’t give a damn” and move on

[@marymuir8735]

set up security cameras and put up a no trespassing sign, in case family tries to break in.

[@YTF32]

The story really brushes off that sarah demanded she live in the house rent free. The entitlement to demand OP buy a house so the sister and her family live in is HUGE

[@fluffypinksheep]

And the 'we had 3 kids that we cant comfortably house so family should house us, pay rent and utilities'

[@johnpatricklim4509]

Op's biggest mistake is exposing her plans....she did this to herself....2nd mistake is keeping contact....she should cut them off and go no contact....

[@finalfantasylord1]

ah yes a fine "do it for Dan" type story I mean what did they expect "oh, sure I'll let my irresponsible sister and all the crotch goblins move into the house that I bought for myself despite you never even asking me if I was ok with the idea" OP should have called the cops it would have sent a VERY clear message. btw it said early on that the sister met her husband in college Did she finish her degree and just never do anything with it or did she drop out and never worked.

[@nerdywitch29]

More than likely she dropped out and never worked.

[@livqueener8471]

Sounds like someone needs to get a job 😊

[@Dayndaily_ZA]

Years of saving only to have a down payment?. I can already tell that this story is in America

[@geoffreystamp9835]

Try buying your own house.

[@huntergilbert4593]

If the parents wanted to help their daughter and her kids why not let them live with them or let them buy Barbara's house

[@shadellhenderson9893]

Why does she have to take care of her sister and her sister's family...Her sister is married once the kids are in school. Sarah should get a part-time job to help herself move to a bigger apt

[@juliel5945]

Egads! What is it with parents who expect one of their kids to buy a house for the other grown a** adult sibling ? My family wasn’t great but we never expected to move into a house bought by a sibling. I don’t know what culture does that but it is very lame.

[@foxstories68]

NTA. Your house, your rules. Their expectations were unreasonable 🙌

[@dianesinger9729]

Seriously why do family do this to people. Why should you solve her problem it is not your problem. Tell the truth to these assholes and family who only want to use and abuse you. Don't ever give in. Let your sister and her husband figure out their own living situations. OH please why do family and family friends think they know better when they only know one side of the story. Let them help your selfish sister and parents and all that

[@xQ2x]

My only question about these stories, is with all these talks about family comes first from aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings and the like, why aren't they pitching in at all to share? Or better question, why are the parents suddenly not supporting their eldest like they did before in the past? Why try to force everything on one person?

[@wendigos_eat_people7177]

because the parents always gaslight the other family members by controlling the narrative and faking grief to pull on other's heart strings to vilify their target to the family.

[@Mrwillie95]

why in the world is lucy putting herself through this drama with her family she should have went no contact with her family

[@gessica1961]

Why don't Sarah get a job is what I'd ask

[@ThisIsBlan93]

How entitled... They're crazy

[@cynhelp1031]

These families on Reddit is just shameless!

[@bryanlarson1605]

[@melissasaint3283]

They ate lasagna and mashed potatoes while Dad sat in an easy chair reading a physical newspaper? This sounds like a story written by an alien whose experience of America is brief snippets of 70s and 80s sitcoms. And the home descriptions sound like they’re sampling Zillow.

[@kaseysmama1]

The audacity of forcing your decisions to be someone else's consequences.

[@virtualatheist]

In OP's shoes the conversation would have gone thusly: Parents: You must house your sister and her family. OP: You can dowhat you wish with *your* house, but this one is *mine* and that is where this conversation ends. Leave now under your own steam or I'll have the police make you leave.

[@wandachamberssomrajit2260]

Why didn’t you just block them all from day one.

[@filmsfoodie]

i dont understand so much here. Why would this entire family expect one person to provide for 5? It makes more sense for the parents to give up their house. What would they be saving money for had Lucy purchased a family home? What sort of plan only works if one person is footing all of the monthly expenses in a household with 3 adults? It kinda sounds like Sarah and her husband are ready for Sarah to go back into the workforce. I mean her two of her kids are in school and the third will be there shortly. The timing seems perfect and would make more sense than becoming a burden to a little sister. If the trad wife stuff aint working, do something that does.

[@sonjapatterson5110]

Why isn't the HUSBAND working to get a house for HIS family??? Their entitlement is UTTERLY RIDICULOUS!!!

[@tamikagalloway3648]

[@chadp6307]

Fake story, generated by AI, with another "Chen" character. Keeping that in mind, it's still mildly entertaining.

[@ennzee5393]

The parents can swap with their daughter..end of story😂

[@Meo9131]

I don't understand how any of these issues are the OP's problem. No one told her sister and husband to have all those kids and not be able to support them. If the parents feel so strongly they need to open their homes to let them in.

[@geraldineekhator5428]

Sarah and Tom are responsible for getting their own house!

[@chonacastilla8610]

you should've said to your sister that " thats not your problem, its their own family and own life they should figure it out on their own and is not your responsibility but her husband" .

[@sherrygrobaski7615]

Tell all the aunts, uncles, friends and your parents to chip in and buy them a house, and then figure out who will pay what into an account to cover the mortgage, taxes and utilities so their golden child can live there with her husband and three kids for free.

[@DjinnTaylor]

How OP didn’t realise what they were aiming for when they were sending the house listings is beyond me, it was so obvious lol if this is true then OP needs to gain some awareness

[@moncoualexander669]

They got life f up if they think any of this was right! This girl worked hard for her stuff no one told Sarah to have a family with no plans. How dare they if family does so much let them stay with yall!

[@SH1559801]

all those that says family comes first should also open their homes to OP's sister family...

[@toniirion5225]

I would have been begging my company to find me work anywhere else if possible. Or quit and move to another town, city ,state. I know that's not feasible but it would have been nice. I mean the way she's telling the story she's has every single person in town against her from all the phone calls she's talking about receiving. Unfortunately that also makes me think well why are so many people against her. It just seems a little suspicious. But the most giant part of it is because of The Golden Child and her parents. But again in the end these people are still taken the other people's side not hers.
