College student tells roommate's mom to back off after she rearranges her furniture and decorates her room without her permission: "What makes you think you can touch my stuff?"
For many young adults, college offers their first taste of independence. Even if they don't decide to go to school states away from their home town, plenty of students opt to live in dorms their first year to get the experience of living somewhere other than under their parents' roof. The transition can be incredibly difficult – not just for the kids, but for their parents, too! It might take some overbearing moms and dads some time to adjust to the fact that their kids are growing up.
In our story today, a particularly clingy mom makes her appearance on her daughter's moving-in day. However, instead of keeping in her lane, she completely tramples over her daughter's roomate's boundaries by attempting to unpack her belongings for her and decorate her space with some items that she brought herself. Our protagonist gently asks her to stop, but internet commenters urge her to lay down the law lest she find herself in the same predicament in the future.
