Poor Woman On Reddit Has To Choose Between Pets Or Parents
Growing up is tough on everyone, especially if you've got parents who don't know what they're doing. We don't mean the normal amount of not knowing what you're doing that comes with parenting of course, every parent has to learn as they go. But, some people seem uniquely unqualified to raise children, and it shows. The poor girl who posted this thread to Reddit this week was unfortunately a child who was raised in one of those situations. Apparently, she's been living alone and loving it for a number of years, but her super controlling parents just lost their home and need a place to stay!
The girl want to help her family out, and offers that they can stay in her living room, but that's not enough for these moochers. They demand that she tear apart the room that's reserved for her pets, and give it to them instead. She refused, and then wound up being berated by other family members for supposedly acting inconsiderate towards her folks. Naturally, she felt she was in the right, so instead of folding on her position she decided to turn to Reddit and get some outside opinions on the subject.
Even though the internet can't solve everything, after she posted to the Am I The Asshole page this OP was able to get a definitive answer about the right way to handle the situation. We couldn't agree more with the advice she was given, and couldn't have been more touched by how caring some of these commenters were. They wanted to make sure OP felt loved and secure, and also helped ensure that OP's pets wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon. Check it all out right down below!

This Sounds Like A Sticky Situation
As OP began breaking down their situation, we couldn't help but feel bad. This is a person who is very secure with what they want out of life, and the way they'd like to manage their finances and day to day activities. Now, all of a sudden, the entire balance she's manufactured is at risk, all because her parents can't manage money!

What Are They So Angry About?
Like we said in the title, what the heck are these parents so angry about? Their daughter extended an entirely reasonable offer to them so that they could stay on the couch and keep a roof over their heads. But, instead, they aim to put her pets out. Maybe if they wanted luxury accommodations, they shouldn't have kept delaying those payment installments.
