Family homes can become complicated when some family members want to claim what isn’t theirs.

In this story, a young man was given the master bedroom in his grandfather’s house.

His grandfather provided the house specifically so he wouldn’t be homeless and even helped him decorate his room.

However, his father’s future wife wanted it for herself and demanded that he move into a smaller bedroom.

Oh, wow! What an entitlement! Read the full story below to find out more.

AITA for saying we can talk to grandpa?

My grandpa gave my dad a house so that I wouldn’t be homeless.

He has made it clear that he only did it for me and not for my dad.

The house is still in his name. Grandpa said I can have the master bedroom.

He helped me decorate it.

This young man’s dad and his wife want to have the master bedroom.

Now, my dad is getting married.

His future wife wants the master bedroom.

She demanded I take the smaller room and give it to them.

I told her we can tell grandpa and see how he feels about it.

She snapped at him for threatening her.

She called me a jerk for threatening her.

Though I’m not sure why she saw it as “threatening.”

Perhaps it’s because she knows grandpa is looking for an excuse to kick them out.

OP had every right to the master bedroom since his grandfather made it clear it was his.

He was right to tell his future stepmother that his grandfather should have a say about it.

If she’s confident she deserves the room, asking grandpa should not be a problem.

Let’s read the responses of other people to this story.

Call your grandpa, says this person.

When in doubt about the master bedroom, ask the person who owns the house.
