Imagine living in a cozy 3-bedroom house with your roommate and their baby, only to find out that their mom is coming to stay… for months! That’s exactly what happened to our protagonist, who had originally agreed to keep the third room as a guest room. When the roommate’s mom arrived from South Africa and it became clear that her visit would last 4-6 months, our protagonist decided to propose a new arrangement: splitting the rent and utilities three ways. Little did they know, this suggestion would ignite a fiery debate over family visits and fairness!

The Family Visit Debate

A Rent Split Proposal Ignites Family Visit Feud!
So, our protagonist found themselves in a sticky situation when their roommate’s mom moved in for an unexpectedly long visit, turning their cozy home into a cramped living space. They thought it was only fair to split the rent and utilities three ways, but this suggestion was met with outrage and accusations of selfishness! To make matters worse, the roommate and her mom argued that our protagonist doesn’t need or deserve to have their family visit, because they live closer and have seen each other more recently. With tensions running high and family visits on the line, it’s clear that this living arrangement has become a battleground of fairness and priorities!
