Family Friction & Fears: When Home Feels a Little Too ‘Lived In’

In the heart of a home where sandwiches are swiped and bedrooms become stages for unsettling stares, a young woman grapples with the dilemma of family ties versus personal boundaries. It’s a scenario that’s as relatable as it is disturbing, with the added twist of a towering cousin who’s got a habit of making the night just a bit too interesting. As her mother swoops in like a superhero, we’re left to ponder the complexities of saying ‘no’ to family. And let’s face it, we’ve all been there – stuck between a rock and a hard place, or in this case, a sandwich thief and a sleep creeper. But what do others think about this nighttime nuisance? We’ve gathered the top takes from around the web to see where sympathies lie. Spoiler alert: It’s not with the cousin.
