Making deals with your family sometimes isn’t the best idea; it might sound good at first, but in the end, it will always bring consequences that can change your relationship with the person. For example, this mother on Reddit thought she was helping her daughter in the best way but ended up regretting it after she disrespected her in such a cruel way.
The post starts by saying that OP sold her house to her daughter before moving to another city. She explained that this would be best for both of them since she would receive monthly payments for 15 years, and her daughter and husband won’t have a mortgage they couldn’t afford.

However, there were some conditions in the deal; since the house had four bedrooms and only had one child, OP was entitled to stay in the guest room twice a year when she went to visit since they live in a tourist area and hotels are expensive. Her daughter and husband agreed, and they made a contract, and OP always stayed on the same dates.
She then explained that they have gone through this settlement for five years now, but they have three children, and they want each their own bedroom, so they gave the guestroom to the eldest.
The problem was that when OP wanted to visit, her daughter told her that she should go to a hotel or sleep on an air mattress because she didn’t think it was fair to ask her six-year-old son to give his room to his grandmother.
There Was A Contract Protecting Both Parties
She Didn’t Even Want To Pay For Her Hotel
Of course, OP was highly upset about the situation because she didn’t expect her daughter to give her this treatment, especially because she has severe back problems, and they had already agreed for years. So OP asked her to pay for her hotel so she could leave, but her daughter refused.
When things started to get heated, she reminded her daughter that that was still her house until she paid it entirely and that her son was young. Still, she wanted to know other people’s opinions to see if she was actually right to get angry and bring the house into the argument.
All of the comments were on OP’s side; they pointed out how common it is for children to give their rooms to eldest family members whenever they visit, even though it can be tedious, and they called out the daughter for not teaching her children the respect they should show to the eldest.
Users also noticed that OP only stayed for two days, and that wouldn’t affect the family as much. Lastly, they highlighted the contract because her daughter is bound to follow the agreement no matter how angry she gets, yet, she should give her mother the room even if there wasn’t a legal document on the line.
