There are times when we are quite busy with our academics, homework, school, and other activities. However, we are still able to carve out a little time from our daily schedule to assist our parents at home with their work.

You never know how your assistance is helping out. The OP of today's story lives with his mom, stepdad, and two half-siblings.

The OP has been paying rent monthly for the past year. He also helps his parents out with their store, picks up and drops off his siblings at their soccer practice every evening, and buys food for everyone every weekend.

The OP told his mom that he wouldn't be able to help out with the store as he had made plans with some friends. She got tensed and told the OP to cancel his plans as the weekends get very busy, and she would need his help.

The OP got visibly upset and reminded her that he had been paying the rent. Not just that, the OP also does whatever chores she needs him to do and works in the store without any pay, and she is the ungrateful one for not acknowledging all that he does.

Read the full story below to learn what happens next.

The OP left the house and to his friend's without apologizing

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

1) I stood up to my mom's threat of kicking me out yet again. 2) She lets me live under her roof at a cheap rent.

And the comments from other Redditors roll in...

The OP added this edit later on

Thank you so much everyone for all your comments and your support. You have no idea how much that means to me. Thank you so much!

I did have to apologize to my mom as she had started giving me the silent treatment. Many have suggested I look into my state's laws, but unfortunately if I do cite what is written in there, there will be even more chaos in the house and knowing my mom, she'd probably say stuff like "you're turning against me?!" which sounds insane, I know.

My plan is to save up and get out of here ASAP, and like many of you suggested, to never look back. Thank you for your support— truly made me feel less alone in this while reading the comments. Thank you ❤

The OP sounds like a good son

Why will you charge your kid rent?

Having a safe place

Legally, the OP should be regarded as a renter if he is making rent payments so Redditors said that his mom can't evict him without providing him with enough notice. What are your thoughts about this story?
