AITA for blaring games keeping my parents up even though they work a 5:00 am.

So I 16m am up playing games my mom 39f and her bf (age unknown) tell me they are going to bed, they know I am going to be staying up in the living room and playing my games. So they go upstairs, it is important to note their bedroom is right above the living room. So they decide in their wisdom time to do the eh special art of “bed wrestling” (y’all know what I mean) they did this very loudly for about 20 minutes so I decide well I don’t need to hear that, and I blast my game. I have a logitec speaker and sub set up so it is quite loud, and I will continue to blast until I go to bed. I feel genuinely traumatized I did not need to hear my own mother making noises like that. TLDR parents do the \*\*\* loudly and I blast game in retaliation, AITA?

  1. ESH. You mom should really make sure you have noise cancelling headphones for when she wants to go to “bed”. So you pop those suckers on and play your game without disturbing anyone after they actually go to bed.

    But you are a mild AH. You are 16 and know they have to work, and blasting the game as revenge is not cool. You should also be at the age you can problem solve, whether it is talking to your mom about her being more quiet she goes to “bed” or asking for noise cancelling headphones. Or just buying them yourself if you don’t wish to talk to your mom.

    You are at the age you can find better solutions than petty revenge that will most likely get you into trouble.

  2. YTA – It’s one thing to turn up the game while they are doing their thing, but keeping the volume at full blast afterwards makes you an asshole.

  3. Retaliation?

    People fuck kid. Literally the most basic fact of life.

    Listening to your mom fuck is never going to be comfortable, but this intentional *retaliation* nonsense makes YTA.

  4. ESH. However you could just use head phones and not hear their naked wrestling. Or just be responsible and tell them you turned up the volume as you could hear them and find it really unconditionally and awkward for you.

    Parents are allowed a sex life, but you shouldn’t have to hear it. I guarantee your mum will be mortified that you could hear it.

  5. ESH, ask your mom for headphones if she’s gonna keep having loud *** or you’ll keep turning your game on to block out the noises. I would feel super uncomfortable too if I heard my parents doing that. I can understand your mom being upset if you kept playing your game at a loud volume for hours after they stopped/fell asleep though.
