Mom faked a text to invade privacy, NTA. Church drama! ✨

“YTA for hosting a Superbowl party for TWENTY FIVE PEOPLE. We are in a pandemic. People are dying. I don’t know where you think Covid isn’t a huge problem in the US, but you’re straight up wrong. And you’re having other parties, too, for your family members? FOH.”
Replies: “Why isn’t this higher?! Unless you live in New Zealand, covid is still a huge issue! Why tf are you having 25 people over for a party?!”
“Can’t believe you’re the only one who mentioned this. She’s a huge a**hole!! If she cared about the wellbeing of others no one would have been able to go into her basement in the first place.” ♀️
“No wonder this pandemic is so bad. ‘It’s not really a problem in my area.’ It is a problem everywhere. And how do you think this becomes a problem in places. People are so f**king ignorant.”
Respecting boundaries: Lock or sign, some people just don’t listen

Mom fakes message, breaks house party rule NTA

Generosity and empathy deserve recognition

Searching for COVID-safe havens in the US

ESH and I’ll be downvoted to hell. 25 people over for a Super Bowl party. Low risk? Pfft. How did she (mom) produce a fake text from you, and shame on her, anyway. House rules apply to every guest. Letting kids run around the house after having been instructed not to is inexcusable. You have a dungeon with toys in your basement, but no keylock on the door? Fix that.

NTA- Your house, your rules. What’s in the basement?
