When a 29-year-old woman inherited a spacious house in an expensive city, she thought her housing woes were over. Little did she know that her dream home would become a battleground of friendship and entitlement. With her husband and 8-month-old baby in tow, they planned to start a new chapter in this house, but a blast from the past had other plans. A friend from college, Darren, who’s been living the ‘van life,’ demanded to rent a room in the house.

In this tale of inheritance, friendship, and entitlement, we see a woman grappling with the decision to allow her old college friend to move into her newly inherited house. Darren, a ‘van life’ enthusiast, feels entitled to a room in the house, despite the woman’s desire for privacy for her young family. His argument? She didn’t earn the house. The woman, however, believes her aunt’s hard work and sacrifice deserve respect. As the drama unfolds, it begs the question – what’s more important: a house or a friendship? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
