Teen refuses to leave behind video game consoles after moving out

Moving out of your parents’ house can be a challenging experience, especially when the relationship is strained. For this 18-year-old, the situation was no different. Having a bad relationship with his parents for the last three years, he decided to move in with his best friend’s parents. The tension began when his parents became foster parents, and he had to give up his big bedroom for a box room, so the foster kids could have bigger rooms. The situation escalated when he started working and refused to treat his step-siblings with the money he earned. Despite his resentment, he continued to live with them until he couldn’t handle it anymore. When he moved out, he took his video game consoles, which he had bought himself, and his parents were not happy. They asked him to leave some behind for their foster kids, but he refused. In their eyes, he was being selfish; in his, he was merely keeping his property. What do you think? Was he wrong for taking his video game consoles? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
