Ok so I 22 f am currently staying with my mother 55f and her boyfriend 51m because of breaking up with my own boyfriend and living with my father isnt an option due to past experiences. While with my boyfriend “J” he got me a PC so that I could game with my friends who also have PCs and so I naturally took the PC with me when I moved out and everything was fine until my mothers bf came home due to breaking his foot causing him to be home more often. Before this mums boyfriend and I tended to butt heads because of how late I tend to stay up but again this wasn’t entirely an issue as my PC was in the other end of the house compared to where their room is. Until one day mum tells me that she’s moving my PC to the lounge room directly across from their room (the lounge room has no door) because mums bf “just wants to” and so they could turn my PC room into the storage room while turning his own daughters room back into her room (she never visits and when she does it’s never for the night) and all this came after my mother made a post on Facebook about me basically shaming me for late night gaming this was soon after I had gotten my current job and a co worker saw the post but thankfully everyone at work including my manager have a good sense of humor and think mum meant no harm. So after my PC was moved I tried to be quieter but mum told me that I’m not allowed on my PC past 10pm which is fair since they need sleep ans arent night owls like me but then mums bf started complaining that I was being too noisy when shutting things claiming that I slam cupboard doors and what not which if I ever did it was never intentional but in the past he would say I walk too loudly. Flask forward to tonight where I was allowed on my PC again after being essentially grounded for two days because of mums bf claiming I was up until 1am which I wasnt and that I was again being too noisy but after being allowed on my PC I’m now suddenly not allowed on it past 9:30 instead of 10 and this is annoying me but I’m not sure if I’m being annoyed over nothing and ive probably left things out so if I have my friends will let me know lol but reddit AITA?
Edit to add is that while living with my mother and her BF I do infact pay rent, do my own shopping and cook my own meals
OP- you are NTA, but it is clear you need to move out.
I’m currently trying to save up as much as I can so that I’m able to move out 😅
Move out. Yawn.
Why not move the PC to your room?
My room is too small sadly otherwise I would have
I just read that you pay rent. This is not a situation where your parents get to tell you what to do. They are roommates at this point and need to respect that you are paying for communal space and the ability to do the things you like to do.
Too many parents think it’s a great idea to charge their children rent then treat them as children and not roommates. You don’t get both.
