When living at home with your parents, you often need to share space with your siblings.

What would you do if your older brother moved back home, and he started trying to invade your private space, and even broke into your room?

That is what the sister in this story is experiencing, so she took all his stuff and threw it out of her room but now she is wondering if that was an overreaction.

Check it out.

AITA for not letting my brother have his things in my room anymore because he doesn’t respect my privacy?

Background: I’m a 15-year-old girl, and my 28-year-old brother recently moved back in with our parents.

He’s currently sleeping in the living room.

Since he didn’t have much space, he stored some of his belongings in my bedroom.

At first, I didn’t mind.

Why would he even want that?

But then he started asking if he could be alone in my room sometimes.

I told him no—that if he wanted privacy, he could go to his car instead.

He didn’t like that, and eventually started sneaking into my room when I wasn’t home.

Where are the parents in this situation?

Because of that, I asked my other brother (17M) to help install a lock on my bedroom door.

But the 28-year-old brother broke in using scissors and took back a Christmas/birthday gift he had given me.

I can’t say that I blame her for this.

So, I removed all his things from my room.

Now I’m wondering…

Am I wrong for not letting him keep his stuff in my room anymore since he doesn’t respect my privacy?

AITA?

She is not wrong, but she needs mom and dad to step in right away.

Read on to see what the people in the comments think.

Yup, it might be time for him to go.

This commenter is exactly right.

Ok, this is a little extreme.

Yup, she is entitled to her own space.

This person thinks mom and dad should kick him out.

She needs to get mom and dad involved immediately.

This is so not ok.
