Bedroom Boundaries: A Family Feud
Our storyteller’s parents visit their house almost every weekend and have their own comfy guest room. However, they have a history of sneaking into the couple’s bedroom and using their bathroom without permission, which has always made the couple uncomfortable. ️ When they went on vacation, the mom announced that they’d be sleeping in the couple’s room, and our protagonist finally spoke up, asking them to respect their privacy. This led to a massive falling out, with the parents cutting them off for weeks. The twist? Dad has terminal cancer and they’re angry that their child would deny them a week without dealing with stairs. But the dad has been navigating stairs just fine for years, even during his illness. Talk about a family feud! Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
