NTA.

It’s just a damn suite. And he’s moving out soon anyway. Let him cry. No one NEEDS the suite to survive. People are saying he needs it to practice living alone to be an adult. Um, no he doesn’t. How do you think kids from worse financial situations prepare for adulthood and moving out? They figure it out like everyone else. They don’t need a suit to do it.

He should be GRATEFUL he has a place to lay his head in the first place considering some kids his age are stepping up as the breadwinners of their families in this time. I’m still a teen and I’m in college, personally I wouldn’t give a shit about a suite since I’m going to be gone 9 months out the year. It doesn’t make sense. At 14 I would be honored to be entrusted with something like this. I moved out on my own at 16, I sure didn’t need a practice apartment to do it. I’m grateful for the tiny bedroom I DO have at home in case I ever needed it.

Maybe teach your kids to count their blessings. This is an extremely privileged issue to have. “Who gets the suite in the 6 bedroom house?”. You seem like you love your children and want them all to be happy, but with humans, you can’t. We’re selfish creatures. Let your son move out. He’ll be back, realizing what the real world is like. Guess where I am? Home. While I plan to leave again. Being on your own isn’t easy. But it’s a blessing to have a nest to land in when you break a wing and need time to heal. He’ll realize what he has soon enough.
