If someone welcomes you into their home you dont ask them to rearrange everything.

Maybe she should but it comes off as ungrateful to me.

My take is that they're entitled assholes upset that they cannot get their way, and are asking their daughter to completely change her living arrangement, which provides her pets with significant quality of life, for them. She offered the living room which should provide ample space and time for them to get back on their feet, and they declined, because they're entitled wankers.

Excerpt from the post :

I (37F) am not close to my parents (65F e 67M). One of several reasons is their control and I always hated that. Even living alone, they wanted to control and it took several years (of therapy) to almost completely cut them out of my life and I have lived in peace for 7 years.

I don't intend to have children, I don't intend to get married and live together (even dating), so my expenses are with me and my 4 pets (2 dogs and 2 cats). They live a life of luxury, honestly, because I have a job that pays well.

I have a 3bd/3ba house, the two suites I use for bedroom and office. The spare room is for my pets.
The entire room is modified, several things on the wall for cats, beds, toys, a door that leads to the backyard. (I like to sleep completely alone and in peace, which has already proved ineffective when sleeping with all of them).

My parents only visited my house once and before my pets (the oldest is 4 years old). So really, at the time, there was an empty room.
Last week my parents called me saying they lost their house (financed and delayed a lot of installments) and asked if they could stay in the spare room.

I said that only the living room would be available, they could sleep on the floor (mattress) or sofa (very spacious and comfortable), as the free room became my pets' room.
They started to get angry, saying that pets could sleep in the living room instead of them and that it is extremely disrespectful to offer parents, even worse elderly people, to sleep in the living room on the floor or sofa while pets could do it.. In addition to complaints about my lifestyle and the fact that I have a pet room.

I got angry and said my house was not open to them.

NTA. It's actually kinda nice to see the tables being turned for once; usually it's the older generation exploiting or disregarding the younger generation's right to housing for their own benefit. Maybe cases like this will send a wake-up call to that generation. Probably not though, unfortunately.

The way I see it it's her house, coupled with the fact they have a strained relationship she at least offered something.

If it was me in that situation the minute someone other than myself pays the bills in my house is when they can make a specific request. Until then you either be grateful I'm offering you not only a place to stay, but a roof over your head, food, water, and safety.

If that's not good enough take your chances elsewhere.

No child is ever obligated morally, emotionally or in any other way to provide something like this for their parents. How good of parents they were or their reasoning behind not providing it doesn't matter. A child has no obligation of this nature to their parents unless the parents bought the house for the child or something crazy like that.

I personally would find space for my mom if she was in that situation. I would never do so for my dad.

You seem to ignore the fact that they supposedly don't have a good relationship, they were controlling and she went through sessions of therapy dealing with the stress of their relationship. She also offered them a place to sleep despite said strained relationship.

I'm also curious as to how she happens to be entitled, I'd love for you to explain that one away, doubt you can, but I'd love to see you try.

You can see who doesn't read past the headline ITT.

I can list a few about Control my life:
  1. Every plate of mine was weighed on the scales and I had to eat only the calories to have a healthy diet (always had a normal weight) so I wouldn't become like my aunt (who is overweight). This developed into several eating problems that I still struggle with.
  2. Until the age of 21, they sat down every month to discuss every expense and why.
  3. I had to weigh myself at least once a week and they had a schedule with all my weights. If I had gained weight, the diet would be more restricted
  4. My grades never went above A/A+, it only happened once and I didn't leave the house until the next course test (in the other month).
Just a few facts from my childhood/teenage/young adult. When I say controllers, that's it.

What is wrong with you all and reddit? serious issues here people... your parents didn't have to give you shit but they raised you for 18+ years, that cost a lot of money btw

I find it somewhat funny that the daughter has her life together, yet the ones who gave the "financial advice" or were "financially controlling" are somehow out on the street.

Perhaps if they'd practiced what they'd preached, they wouldn't be in the mess they're seemingly in now.

On top of that, anyone pulling the "they raised you for 18 years" can fuck off. Nobody asks to be brought into the world. Congratulations to the parents for the doing the absolute bare minimum a parent should be doing for the child. To insinuate one should express gratitude for that is absolutely hilarious. I would never expect my two sons so show me gratitude or respect for doing the absolute bare minimum. I want them to remember me for being a good and caring father, not a controlling abusive prick that feels entitled to respect by default that he doesn't deserve.

Another thing there, is the obsession with the weight of the aunt, which led to their controlling behaviour towards their daughters diet which then led to an eating disorder or issues related to eating anyway. Fucking bang-up job on that front.

Perhaps having a basic talk with your child about the benefits of healthier eating and remaining fit would have gone down better than weighing every plate they have and forcing them to meet a schedule for weigh-ins.

Ok, just read the post. Its...complicated, but its more understandable why shes acting like that. Blood means nothing to met. If you were shit parents then dont expect your kids to go out of their way to take care of you. She did offer the bare minimum and on this case it was good enough. To hell with the parents.

Another thing I'd note, is that their insistence on having the spare room sounds to me, like a move for a longer-term solution, as opposed to a breather until they're back up on their feet and running again.

The blatant disregard for the pets would put me off too, because they're a part of her life and important to her, enough to give them a space, which they're now used / accustomed to which provides them with a lot of quality of life.

She'd be putting her pets out of the way, for what sounds like abusive, controlling morons that at any time, based on their entitled attitude towards having that room over the living space, could just "lose" the pets. They've supposedly expressed their dislike of her lifestyle choices, and if the past is anything to go by, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to take charge again whilst living there.

Frankly, fuck them, take the shelter, learn some fucking humility and to be grateful she offered them anything in the first place.

I side with the daughter too. She didn't want to rearrange an entire room in her house, but was willing to let them sleep in her living room. They chose to go to a shelter than to stay in her living room, because it wasn't the exact thing they wanted.

If she turned a bedroom into a pet room, I'm pretty sure there's no bed in there either. So I really can't take the parents side here.


This lol theyre lucky they have a place to stay at all.
