Everyone has a right to privacy and security; however, some people can’t seem to understand this. They may even call you a “Karen” if you refuse to do what they want you to do.

In today’s story, a woman shares how she saw a post on the internet where the previous owner of their house was looking for a way to contact them.

She politely responded that they weren’t interested in being contacted, but now she’s wondering if she messed up.

Read the full story below.

AITA For not wanting previous owner’s son in my home/property?

My husband, daughter, and I live in a small rural town.

We purchased this house with acreage about 4 to 5 years ago from a couple with two adult sons.

It’s a very beautiful custom country French house that the man and his sons built themselves over the course of several years.

The house is very luxurious, and so I can see how special it is for them.

This woman found out that the previous owner’s son was trying to contact them.

Yesterday, I was checking our town’s FB page for updates on things.

And I came across a post of a man asking on how to contact the owners of a house that matched our address. Because he wanted to show his kid his childhood home, but didn’t want to randomly come unannounced.

Especially since we installed a gate at the entrance.

So she responded by saying they’re not interested.

A lot of people gave him ideas on how to look us up on the internet and find our phone numbers and contact us.

My husband and I are very private people, and this kinda bothered me.

To put a stop to it, I politely commented on the post that we are not interested and apologized.

People think she’s just being rude and selfish.

Now, people are calling me a Karen for not wanting them over.

I can see why they’d think I’m a Karen.

But to be honest, I feel relieved that I was honest because I didn’t feel comfortable with having them over in the first place.

AITAH?

I can see her side of the story, but that would feel very rude to the dad! Let’s find out how others reacted to this on Reddit.

Here’s a totally valid point.

She doesn’t have to invite anyone into her home unless she wants to!
