We're back today with another Reddit post from the AITA thread that you all know we like to go over on here because of how entertaining they can be plus, we like to get other people's opinions. This thread is often where people go to see if they are in the wrong for what they are doing in a situation.
With this all being said, we are going to look into this post where a girl wants to know if she's in the wrong for leaving the house after telling her that she is grounded. OP feels that she's too old to be grounded, she's 18, and she wasn't grounded for a fair reason anyway.
We often see posts like this and already know how they are going to go, but in this case, the details make all the difference because it really lets us in on how her mother is and just allows us to get an idea of what kind od dynamic they are all in.
It feels like these AITA thread posts are getting more and more popular, so stay tuned as we give you more, but for now, let's dive into this situation between a mom and her daughter who is giving a little pushback on the rules.
OP dives in and gives us all the details while specifying what kind of response she's looking for.
u/Competitive-Bee-4907The details she gave were very helpful in determining the verdict of the situation because they allowed us to understand the dynamic.
u/Competitive-Bee-4907She wants to know if she should apologize to her mom or if she's valid in how she feels.
u/Competitive-Bee-4907People quickly told her how responsible she sounds and that she's making the decisions she needs to make in order to live.
xineohpxineohpIt's definitely agreed that the mom is outrageous for punishing her daughter for being responsible because many would've done it the opposite way.
BhalliTempestShe definitely does sound controllling and we hope that OP tries to get into a safer environment and recognizes the situation at hand.
RedditIt's a very odd situaiton because it seems that OP is given a lot of extra responsibilities that are not hers.
Time-Traveller9This is a golden comment and we love OP's response too because it's exactly how we are feeling reading this.
bushido216It's a terrible mindset that a lot of parents have nowadays and it really it something that needs to be addressed.
StormschanceObviously the mom was just in panic mode but that shows exactly why you don't take away their phone.
ReenvisageClearly many of the comments were in the same kind of tone because everyone felt the same way about OP's situation.
RedditWe also have to agree that her mom sounds toxic.
HP1029We do have to agree with most of the comments on here because it seems like her mom kind of has more issues than we know about. It's a really difficult situation being 18 and living in your parent's house where boundaries start to fade or mix.
