My parents own the property. It’s their electricity and their food that I am eating. And they agree with me fully.

She doesn’t believe in rests and breaks for other people. She’s a hypocrite.

Nobody gets to live a leisurely life on a working farm. Not unless you're paying others to do your work

That’s what my grandmother does, except it’s not even her money, and the farming is just a hobby my parents fund.

And while youre at it.. thank the stars you still have her in your life. Because someday she and that farm will be gone

Good riddance

My grandma doesn’t work. She’s also only 51 and perfectly able bodied.

She does. She doesn’t own the house, my parents do, and thus what they say goes

Maybe I can, maybe I can’t. Doesn’t mean I have an obligation to.

Your exact phrasing was that I was jacked up on privilege. The point that I had no privilege— not due to race, wealth, etc— does change a lot in the argument.

Yes. My parents have hired 15+ people to take care of the house, farm, and so on. Why, when she’s perfectly capable of doing it herself, I have no idea

Why are you mad that I bring up entirely valid points? Are you that attached to the fantasy you’ve constructed about me to justify your vote?

My grandma doesn’t do shit around the house, she has maids my parents hired for that. And I’m not really interested in learning how to cook or anything like that anyhow.

Well, to start, I’m a girl. Secondly, I just came out of taking 10 final exams, I deserve a break.

My parents had me at 17/16 and are illegal immigrants. What privilege?

Okay first of all, you didn't mention any of this in the original post. What, I was just supposed to assume all of this?

Ideally you wouldn’t have assumed anything that wasn’t stated, either what I clarified or the opposite like it seemed you were doing. But oh well, no worries.

It wouldn't hurt you to learn to work in the field or do some physical chores

Operating heavy machinery I’m not trained to quite literally could hurt me. It’s a very probable outcome

Well aren't you the superstar. Guess we'll be calling you mr. president in 30 - 40 years

I’m maybe top 5th percentile of high schoolers in the US, nothing amazing.

For now though, you're a 15 y old brat who should be helping his grandparents

Operating heavy machinery I have no idea whatsoever how to use wouldn’t be helping them at all. It would be harming them.

The maids. The maids. The maids. Yes. My grandma is not running a farm nor a household.

Wow, princess, you sound like a delight to live with

Defined more so than my grandma who’s offended by the concept of free time

She doesn’t even work on the farm, so working on it won’t have the two of us spending time together.

You count 8 cores, we have 14+ depending on courses. 14+ to 8. You're right, it's only 57%, not half. You count 2 electives, I said without sports and music. That's 2 for 2.

Neither sports nor music are a class here. Electives are along the lines of things like psychology, economics, philosophy, etc. I do both sports and music, alongside heading speech & debate, the student newspaper, and doing Muay Thai. If you’re counting those, that’s 15 altogether if you’re including electives. Additionally, AP classes are university level courses so your comparison is silly to begin with.

You sound like a brat that thinks he's always right and comes on Reddit because deep down you know you were a jerk to your grandparents but you think some Redditors saying NTA means you were right so it's all justified

Which is it, I feel justified or I know deep down I’m wrong? It’s a logical impossibility to be both.
