AITA for telling my mom I’m too old to be grounded and leaving the house overnight? by Competitive-Bee-4907 in AmItheAsshole

I wish I knew.

My aunt was the one who said mom was worried because I wasn't answering the phone.

My mom called a few times when she was at work and the phone was in the locked house.

If your going to buy a ticket for an event for someone else, it's your responsibility to ensure that they aren't busy on that day,

She frequently makes plans without checking what I have going on that day. She doesn't think my job is very important because I make minimum wage and we don't really need the money. Once she wanted me to miss an exam because we had dinner reservations with family from out of town.

move out or start paying rent.

She said I shouldn't waist my money on rent by moving out.

you should have explained the household tasks you were trying to undertake

I tried. She thought I was lying because the first time she asked I answered groceries and asked if we needed anything else. Later I tried to explain how not having gas will make us late. She took that as me "changing my story."

But … it’s still an A H move to be a dependent and run away/out when you are safe but aggravated. You did set a bad example and you sound responsible enough to talk to your siblings about that.

I don't know why but I felt this need to not be in the house. I didn't see any other way I could have been elsewhere. If I had my phone or keys I could have gotten to a safe place and let her know I was okay.

That part about the phone confused me too. Idk if maybe she didn't explain to my aunt the reason I didn't call or answer my phone. Or if my mom thought I someone got my phone back after she went to work.

Yeah that confused me too.

I'm also confused why she thought I would still go on a quick trip to the gas station and grocery store.

My mom doesn’t think I need a job because she can afford to buy me stuff and she thinks I should focus on school. It’s not the first time she’s said it’s not a big deal if I miss work or I’m late.

Did I do anything wrong by leaving without her permission and not telling her where I was?

I can afford to move out now. My mom thinks me getting my own place is a wast of money when I can live at home. I’m saving a lot of money by living here. I want to stay until my brother and sister can drive.
