29-year-old home co-owner protests and plans hotel stay when mom insists on letting cousin and 2 kids stay in her space for the summer: 'Now you won't be home alone!'

Everybody needs their me time every so often, and some need a lot more than others. However, a lot of people live in circumstances where this isn't always a possibility that they can capitalize on. Whether burdened with annoying roommates, having kids, or living with family, there are many reasons why an individual may not get much of a chance to enjoy being alone in their personal space.

As a result, many in these living scenarios jump at the chance for some peace and quiet in their home, and are not too happy if that gets disrupted. Unfortunately, one of the downsides of living with others is that there is every chance that this will happen. Not everyone is going to respect a rare chance at privacy and solitude, particularly if they believe they have more entitlement to a space than somebody else. It is no shock that this can become a source of tension.

AITA for refusing to share my space with my cousin and her kids and planning to leave while they’re staying with us?

One woman went as far as looking into a hotel when her mom, with whom she co-owned her house along with her sister, unexpectedly told her that her cousin and two kids would be staying for the summer and sharing her personal living space. Her mom and sister would be on a 10-day cruise when the extended family arrived.
The woman protested at this due to the fact that she had not expected the visit, and only her living space in the house would be affected. She wanted to know if she was being unreasonable.
