#entitled

How the fuck does that help anyone? How was no further thought put into it??? Not even a consideration of alternatives???

you are entitled to other people, even. that doesn't mean you can have them. that doesn't mean you should try to take them. if you try and it's bad, you'll be stopped. be kind. kindness can crush you like a bug.

but you deserve what you want. you are a person! obverse to 'there is no deserve' is 'there is every deserve'

My partner's family lives in a pretty big house. It's her, her sister, her parents (dad and stepmom), her grandma, and then her stepmom's dad. The grandpa recently moved in for reasons I don't really know, but what's important here is that the house does not have enough room for this many people. The parent's solution? Renovate the house so they can sell it and buy a bigger house with room for everyone! I don't think I should have to explain why this is a stupid idea, but their house was already really big. Good luck 1, selling it, and 2, finding a house that's bigger. So they did the renovations, and surprise surprise? Nobody wanted to buy the house (because of course nobody would right now). As a consequence of the renovations, the bathroom that grandma would usually shower in had it's elderly accommodations removed (idk what that entails, but point is they switched it out with a normal bathtub). Now grandma has nowhere to shower properly. Another brilliant idea; the parents would let grandma stay in the master bedroom, and they'd make her living space their new bedroom. She can use the master bathroom, problem solved. Another issue: grandma is loud. Like notoriously loud, you can hear her from every room in the house (bless her heart). The parents can't use the living room as their main entertainment center anymore, grandma is too noisy. It's at this point that I think most people would say "ok, you've made your bed, now lie in it", but they had another idea. My partner is in college, she's moved out and currently lives in a dorm. She does not have an apartment; she comes home during breaks and was planning on coming home this summer. She lived in the basement area of the house; the entire floor was basically hers, and she regularly comes home and stays in it. The parent's solution to the grandma issue was to move my partner to one of the open bedrooms that's upstairs, and rework the basement into an entertainment center for the family. Without even asking my partner first, they moved all of the furniture currently in her room to the new room, and then texted her about it the next day. My partner was (rightfully in my opinion) extremely upset about this for a number of reasons, main one being that the new room is way smaller and less private than her old room which was basically an apartment. She's been trying to make her parents understand that this is making her extremely upset and that if she had known they were going to do this, she wouldn't have even planned on coming home for the summer, but they seem to think it's just her being anxious about living in a new spot and that's she's being heartless toward grandma. Her parents refuse to budge on their plans, and my partner doesn't think she'll be able to focus on her online summer classwork without the privacy of her old room. The only reason she isn't posting this herself is because she's too stressed with this and school to bother writing up a post about it. Neither of us really know how to navigate this; my partner is worried that if she confronts them too strongly that they won't even let her move back in at all, or they'll take her car. I don't think it's likely that it'll happen, but it's making her nervous to push back too hard (when she heard the news it hit her really hard and she sort of spiraled for the rest of the day). Neither of us have the money to rent an apartment right now, and even if we did, I wouldn't be able to move in until I graduate in Fall (we go to different schools). What should we do? Should she just deal with it?

Maybe I'm just too old to relate anymore, but y'all sound really spoiled and entitled. Your partner does not live at home anymore, and quite frankly, expecting to keep her own apartment (which I'm assuming she didn't pay mortgage/rent towards), especially knowing the family is trying to move out while dealing with everyone having less space suddenly, is...unreasonable. To say it kindly. I am sorry the family didn't bring this up before doing anything, and that it feels late notice, but if she doesn't like it then, she's welcome to sort out alternative arrangements. There is still plenty of time to find roommates and get an apartment. There's probably even time to last minute make arrangements to stay in a dorm over the summer. Having that space back at her dad's was a luxury. They have not kicked your partner out. They just moved her to a smaller space, which tbh, your partner probably should have just offered them since, once again, she does not really live there anymore. She is a visitor. She spends much more time at school than at her dad's. It makes much more sense that the family would want to be able to utilize such a big space, especially having one more person living there full-time.

Says she’s a lawyer and needs the product the next morning. Argued that she then needed it on store credit if not to the card used (supposedly her daughter’s card). Well without receipt or original card, store credit would give her only 1/2 she originally paid. Which wasn’t sufficient.

She learned to better manners and keep receipts, even if it’s email. Because she left with the non working product to go back to the original store to figure out the return.

Not that anyone didn’t understand, just nothing substantial from customer to assist with her nonsense.
