Moving in with a parent as an adult can be tricky, especially when both parties have different ideas of what that arrangement should look like.
That’s the dilemma one 23-year-old woman (u/OddMolasses5855) found herself in after agreeing to split an apartment with her mom.
On paper, it seemed like a good plan—she’d just graduated college, could afford her own place, and her mom needed a roommate after her divorce.
But things took a turn when her mom made it clear that even though they’d be splitting rent, the same rules from her childhood home would still apply.
Curfews, restrictions on travel, and even disapproval over a tattoo appointment left the daughter feeling like she was right back in high school.
She pushed back, arguing that paying half the rent should come with the freedom to live as she pleases.
Now, her mom is upset, calling her disrespectful.
Is she being unfair, or is her mom the one crossing the line?
