A 23-year-old man still lives with his parents after finishing college. He helps with chores, keeps the house warm, and takes care of both family dogs. His parents depend on him to drive his younger siblings, Katie, 16, and Jake, 15, to places because there aren’t many other ways for them to get around. But Jake stays up late yelling at video games, which often wakes him up before work. Jake’s behavior doesn’t change, even though his parents have talked to him about it many times. They say he has ADHD.
The man finally told his parents that he would move out if they don’t stop Jake from making noise at night. His parents called this a “threat,” saying they would have a hard time without his help. He says it’s just setting a boundary. He feels bad for wanting to put his sleep and independence first, but he’s also tired of being treated like a live-in caretaker instead of an adult son.
AITA for “threatening” to move out?
