Treated the worst in the family

Post Reply New Topic

Today, I realized something. In my family, I get treated, in general, the worst, just cause I'm being me. I got a new video game, so I want to play it. So I start my system, and I turn on the TV, and my brother comes in and says "I wanna use the TV". But I'm already on, so I say that. So he goes and tells on me. My dad sides with him, and if you look it at from that situation alone, it seems like he's doing his job, but it always happens where he sides with everyone but me.

It's much worse than that. The....people I live with, for words to replace idiots, always blame me for everything. Yes, everything now. It used to be just milk, but now it's everything. Is this fair, or lawful? I hope it isn't, cause that's unfair, and I live with idiots who are bat s**t insane.

It's legal and always has been. The adults who support the home have the power and right to treat the other resident adults as guests in their home. Whoever pays the rent/mortgage gets to say who is allowed to use the devices and when.

Look; my parents were idiots too (in a different way). I decided to continue living with them summers through college until I was 22 because that's what I needed to do in order to afford college. As much as I disliked living with them, I considered living with them as their favor to me. I lived with them 4 summers past the age of 18 and worked 2 jobs, so that I could afford gettng the education I needed to become truly independent. It was well worth the work and my emotional discomfort was minimized because working 2 jobs kept me out of the house most of the time.

At 21 you are an adult and you're too old to quibble about toys. I know I'm being rough on you, but at 21, if you don't want to live with idiots, move out; or at the very least take responsibility for your decision to continue living with them.
