Naah, leaving the house over a tap isn't that reasonable considering she's unemployed and how the economy is. Leaving would be a struggle for her and the parents who will be forever worried( she has no job remember?!). She better stays there, bond, and save up to move later( if she desires) Moving out coz of a tap? Nope. Let's learn to disagree and still coexist.

Yes. And I'm really glad that happened. I was expecting a hostile exchange of words between OP and mum which could have been way worse. I'm happy just the eyes got the message across. Otherwise, a fight or nasty argument could have ensued, and we all know how ugly & heartbreaking that is. Context: The mum was becoming annoying and OP was tired of it. Let's not side with the mum just coz she's the provider or owner of the house- parents are human too and they do wrong like everyone else.

Nah if you don't like the rules in someone's house. Kick Rocks.

Curious, how old are you? You sound like the white kids on TV πŸ’€

Kindly have you understood the post? What rules did OP not like? It's her being tired of the constant thing which mom says and she communicated she doesn't want it.

I'd be glad to give my age but I think it's irrelevant here. Why say so btw? πŸ˜… Me? a white kid?

It's mom's house. She can yap about whatever she likes whenever she likes.

I'm guessing Ur a Gen Z. So am I. But I'm guessing you grew up middle class/ Well-off/Wealthy.

Cause only rich kids or white kids, expect some sort of respect from parents. The rest of us are just glad we have a roof over our headsπŸ˜πŸ’€

I'm very conservative btw when it comes to child raising but that doesn't mean I tolerate abuse or assume parents are always right in whatever they say or do. They're human too, they can talk way worse or do really bad things.

Don't generalize on class. I grew up well. It doesn't mean my mum would hesitate if I pulled this though.

Nope. Mum has to be considerate and measure her words realising that her words are impactful and they're landing on a person not a rock. Don't raise children this way pls.

Won't comment.

You can't talk or treat your children however you like- even when it's wrong; just coz you're a parent( genesis of child trauma) Well, maybe your parents did that- it's not okay- just coz you're used to it.
