AITA For Telling My Stepmom That I Won t Give Up My Room So Her Daughter Can Have It Interview

Konstancija Gasaitytė and
Saulė Tolstych
Probably a lot of us would consider our home a place where we can rest and relax after a hard day. So it's natural to assume that it takes a lot of time and effort to make it as cozy and comfortable as possible. But imagine that one day you have to take all of your belongings and move. Yes, sometimes moving is unavoidable, but what if all of this hassle of taking down your pictures and posters and nice decorations is just for it all to be moved into the next room? Reddit user @u/Sleepy_allthetime55 decided to share her story of having to deal with new family members that moved into her and her dad's house after he married her stepmom Kelly. The author of the post seemed to be fine with all these changes until her 13-year-old stepsister decided that she wanted OP's room and for this reason, she would have to move out from it. More Info: Reddit

For a lot of us our home especially our room is a place where we feel most comfortable and safe

Image credits: Sleepy_allthetime55 The whole hassle started when her new family members were moving into the house. At some point, the kids were introduced to their new rooms. While the post author showed her stepbrother his new space, the 13-year-old ran into OP's room and decided that now this was going to be her room as it has purple walls (her favorite color) and has a bathroom next to it. Of course, the 16-year-old didn't agree with this and the fight followed. At first even the dad tried to explain that the younger sister gets an empty room with a walk-in closet, so she can paint and decorate it however she wants. However, it didn't change her mind.

The author of the post shared that despite her new sister having a room prepared for her she decided that she wants to take over OP s room because it has purple walls and a bathroom

Even dad tried to explain to the girl that she can have her other room decorated the way she wants but she was stubborn about wanting the room that was already occupied

When this didn't work, Kelly blamed her stepdaughter for being mean to her kid. The author of the post stood her ground and refused to make any changes. However, it did made her wonder whether she really did the right thing by not allowing her sister to have her room.

The situation got even worse when the stepmom agreed with her daughter and requested the stepdaughter give up the room as she s had it long enough

Image credits: Sleepy_allthetime55 Bored Panda contacted the original poster and found out that in the end, the family came to an agreement. Despite the younger sister still keeping up her act, dad decided to let her have the upstairs bathroom and this way ease the tension. But is it the end? Will the new family members continue to push the limits? The young woman thinks that for now, the stepmom won't push things but "she will side with her daughter" whenever something comes up. The good thing is that the room is out of the question as no one should enter it without the OP's permission. The author was asked why she decided to share this story and the answer was that her stepmom Kelly's words made her question her decisions. But Reddit's community was fast enough to confirm that she is right in this case. Image credits: Sleepy_allthetime55 A lot of people online agreed with her decision to not budge and please her new and entitled family members. Some of them were also curious about how her dad reacted to this whole situation. Later, OP shared that he admitted that she can do whatever she feels is right and even agreed to take her to a store to buy a new doorknob so she can lock her room. Some commentators online found this behavior weird as they didn't agree with him saying that she "is old enough to talk for herself."
