Woman Moves Out Of Parents’ Home After They Asked Her To Give Her Space To Brother, They Freak Out

ADVERTISEMENT

A lot of young adults are still living with their parents. True, there’s also a cultural component to this: more people in their 20s live with their parents in Europe than in the U.S. As for Canada, the percentage of people aged 20-34 still living in their parent’s home is about 35 percent. And while it’s better for the youngsters’ wallets, household decisions and relationships can become tricky to navigate.

One Redditor found this out the hard way. She posted a story about an argument with her family that arose due to her deciding to move without notice. To find out whether her decision was ungracious, she decided to consult the Internet.

    Hi there, fellow pandas! As a person (over)educated both in social sciences and literature, I'm most interested in how we connect and behave online (and sometimes in real life too.) The human experience is weird, so I try my best to put its peculiarities in writing. As a person who grew up chronically online, I now try to marry two sides of myself: the one who knows too much about MySpace, and the one who can't settle and needs to see every corner of the world.

    Why should OP help fund her brother and his family? It's his family and his responsibility, not OP's.

    Yes, they had no say or control over his job, marriage, choice to breed. It has nothing to do with them beyond anything they gave from their heart and own choice. They have their own future to create and that is enough hard work for anybody. Brother and parents are straight up using them and took no consideration of what is fair and right for everybody affected.

    The "fair few of relatives" that are calling OP an AH of course send money to help the parents/brother/family because it's "time of need"? Right?
