PARENTS MOVED INTO SON’S HOME TO “KEEP HIM COMPANY”, THEN CONTROLS EVERYTHING

0

A netizen shared how he got a new place and his parents then came over to keep him company, but then they started controlling the things he does and his home.

Here is the story:

“Re: Guilty about not living with parents

I recently got my new place. As I’m single, my parents decided to come over and their best intent to keep me company since there is more than sufficient space.

I felt that my freedom is lost as I no longer have my whole space to myself.

I don’t fancy things not in their place the way I like it, neither do I like the choice of music and tv program.

I know I sound really mean and selfish as I was Ok when I was much younger and living at their place but when I grew up, I didn’t even want to share my space with them. To be honest, occasional visits are fine with me like 2-3 overnight stays.

I just cannot stand every day and every night and have to listen to their comments and opinions when I decide about my choices.

It really makes me mad when what I get decided gets vetoed off as a lousy decision, for example, during the renovation phase.

It’s not that they have bad opinions but it’s just, I have grown up. I confided in 2 friends about this and one says it’s my place so I should have the full decision and the other suppose I’m really not an easy person to live with.

I do agree I’m not the best accommodating person when it comes to living together. I just want to know: Am I really mean to think like this or is this normal?”

GUY NOT HAPPY BECAUSE OBSESSED FRIEND COPYING HIS PERSONALITY

0

A netizen shared how he has a friend who is obsessed with him and copying everything he does and “stealing his identity”.

Here is the story:

“Hi all. Need some advice regarding a friend who is obsessed with me. Let’s call him A.

Been close friends with A for a really long time. However, A is starting to creep me out by copying every little thing I do, from the words I use in my speech to my personality (he originally had a personality that is a complete opposite from mine). He also pretends to like my hobbies and behaves like me.

This is getting disturbing. Feels like A is stealing my identity. Have brought this up to A before but it is still happening. Would love to continue this friendship. What would you guys do??”

Editor’s note: I think he likes you more than a friend.

GUY GIVES PARENTS 20% OF SALARY BUT MUM NOT HAPPY, ACCUSE HIM OF BEING UNFILIAL

0

A netizen shared how he gives his parents 20% of his monthly salary but then his mother accuses him of kicking her aside after he told her about his financial planning.

Here is the story:

“[How much monthly allowance do you give your parents?]

I give my parents 20% of my salary (>$700) ever since I started working two years ago, and 20% of any bonuses when I get them too.

I learnt that I give the highest percentage amongst my friends, but I’m okay with that as I can afford to and somehow this 20% proportion has been ingrained in my mind since young.

Recently, my partner and I secured a BTO. Somehow, this got me to start thinking about finances seriously. I feel that I should save more for future uses such as the wedding, honeymoon, house, renovation and any emergency spending.

I’m not engaged yet, but just generally thinking about the future and making a mental note that I have to start being more financially savvy now that we have a home (yay!).

I innocently shared this with my mum but she got angry instead and started ranting that kids nowadays only care about planning for their own future and kicking their parents aside.

I clarified that I have no intention to change or withdraw the 20% of my salary that I have been providing.

I only wanted to save a higher proportion of the remaining amount after setting aside the monthly allowance.

However, she insisted that I have become stingy ever since getting together with my partner and that I only cared about my own future.

Honestly, I feel quite angry at her accusations as I have not once given anything lesser than 20% of whatever I have. She also commented that I could rely on my partner and need not plan to save so much, which I do not agree with.

We should aim towards being able to support ourselves regardless of whether we have someone to rely on, isn’t it?

I really don’t know what’s wrong with children planning for their future as the point of planning ahead is to avoid having to take parents’ money for our own expenses next time.

Furthermore, I am still giving the 20% without any intention to stop, and I don’t know why she’s so defensive every time I talk about my own financial planning. Sigh.

Just wanted to get this off my chest. Thank you for hearing me out.”

MOTHER-IN-LAW ACCUSE WOMAN OF “STEALING THEIR SON” AFTER MOVING IN

0

A netizen shared how his girlfriend moved into his home to stay with him and his mother started making her do housework, among other things.

The mother then accused her of “stealing their son” and the guy then had enough and moved out the next day.

Here is the story:

“I faced similar issues as you guys as well. But instead, I am the son whose mother treats my room like storage.

It didn’t help that my then-girlfriend (now wife) was moving in to stay with me. We had wanted to stay together whilst working from home. I have never seen my own mum clean and mop the floor at 7am in the morning yet she had started demanding my wife to do so!

This carried on for 2 weeks, and of course, I helped her out. But it just got to me that my mum was using my wife to force me to do whole house chores! Normally we would split the work and I would just settle my own room, but what the heck, suddenly me and my wife need to do the whole house??

Just because my wife is “freeloading” and not paying bills? But hey! My wife did give a lot of gifts and we even forked out for family dinners every weekend! My wife had never talked back to my mum before. I warned my wife that I came from a toxic family and they will not appreciate any of these gestures.

The last straw was when my family scolded her for “stealing their son/brother”. I was fed up and we packed our bags and left home the next day for a rental flat (while I am waiting for my own resale flat).

All these happened during the covid period and I am glad we had managed through it.”
