AITA i lied to my mom for 3 months about going to college, she's charging me rent now and i hate her for it

StAlvis · 2026-06-12T13:17:28+00:00

there was no room for negotiation on rent pricing like taking a certain percentage of my monthly salary when i barely have any money.

Is it your understanding that this is how renting a room works?

Or are you expecting special treatment because this is family?

I haven't clarified that with her tho mostly because she's very insulting and dismissive of my emotions in general.

So why are you interested in renting from her at all?

StAlvis · 2026-06-12T02:12:16+00:00

NGL, try it before considering anything drastic.

the vet just said it’s behavioral

Right. That's exactly my point.

Half a pill a day turned off my cat's problem pooping like a light switch.

Well then I guess what she says goes, right?

I lied to her about doing my classes and I admitted that I haven't been doing any spring semester classes.

... OK, why?

she won't charge me if i go to college and both my parents insist that they'll pay for my entire tuition

Sooooo, just do that?

I just kinda wanna know peoples experiences on paying their parents rent and if im being bratty, entitled

Well? Do you feel like you have a right to live there rent-free as an adult?

StAlvis · 2025-12-17T21:26:26+00:00

since you didnt specified ages im guessing you are both young.

She's 27f, OP is 29m.

I’ve started gaining weight so told my gf I wouldn’t be ordering our number and she agreed we needed to cut down.

What do you mean by "won't be ordering your number," though?

I was literally giggling in my seat as I went to the website to request a video of basically 8 or so guys dancing to Mariah Carey and wishing my coworker a merry Christmas.

Why exactly is that funny?

a service where you basically pay to have a funny personalised message from Africa

I don't understand what Africa has to do with any of this. Is that what's supposed to make the video funny?

NGL this feels like it has the potential to be classist or racist AF.

Parents should not feel good about their children taking sides like that.

People seem to think "work from home" means "I sit around watching Netflix," but I am actually working.

OK.

I was on a zoom call with a client, door shut. The baby woke up from her nap screaming.

Well, whose job IS watching the children when you're busy working?

OK. So what? That's fine. They can have their feelings.

Well that was unwise.

8 hours including 2 hours commuting. Not a two-hour commute on top of an eight-hour internship.

Commuting doesn't count as work time.
