Everyone has to move on and move out of their parents’ house at some point.

And it’s much easier in some households than it is in others.

The young woman who wrote this story on Reddit is having a really difficult time with her decision because her family is well, let’s just say that they’re difficult.

Is she doing anything wrong?

Let’s see what she had to say…

AITA for sharing upsetting news and ruining Mother’s Day?

“I am 22 F.

An important context here is that in my family, you usually don’t move out from your parents’ house unless you are married. For example, my 35 year old brother just recently moved out and me and siblings still live at home (33M, 31F, 29M).

Her parents are strict.

Our parents are wonderful (55 F&M), but they are very much about respect and “my house, my rules”. We often fight because I don’t agree with some of their rules, but it goes nowhere because well, it is their house. Because of that, I have been secretly making plans to move out.

My work had a position open in another city in our state. I applied and they were pretty receptive to it, so the job is mine. It’s not a lot of money but it’s good experience in my field. It’s a three hour drive from our current city, and I’m already looking to rent a place there.

She had to tell her mom what was going on.

This holiday, we were having lunch for Mother’s Day and everyone from our nuclear family was there. At some point, my mom turned to me and said that we have not been talking much and what was the news. I thought it was a good opportunity to share that I would have to move.

Everyone was really shocked and my mom was super upset. She said that there was no way I was going and that it was absurd that I was moving just because I didn’t want to follow rules.

It became a huge thing and now everyone is upset and ignoring me for ruining Mother’s Day.”
