Hi all,

So my mum and dad have got me to help them loads up a mattress and bed base from a house clearance to replace my current mattress and bed base they got from another house clearance that has literal straw in it.. It absolutely stinks of old people and piss, I've had to lug it out of this old bungalow, upstairs into the spare room ( a room I furnished myself to use as a quite space as I'm autistic) a d are now trying to make me use as a bed. It's a friend of my mum's so think she was doing them a favour. I said no to her numerous times I don't want to sleep on a old stinky bed, my current mattress isn't the best but it's better than that, but she would not hear it, I offered to buy my own (I'm leaving home next year, hence why I've not replaced it as I'm effectively tossing £400 down drain for not much gain). I'm also autistic so it's also really freaking me out with the sensory aspects of it. I've ended up having a full meltdown and losing my shit over it because she would not listen and is now blocking the quite room completely. AIO?

Reddit consensus: NOT OVERREACTING (NOR) (100% confidence)

Top comment: “NOR Your mum and dad got conned into taking the rubbish out for a friend. They were too stupid to say no and now making it your problem.

You would be better off getting a cheap mattress on the floor.

Can you get a couple of mates to take it away?”

Notable comment: “NOR. They aren't respecting your wishes and certainly don't seem to care enough to get a better mattress. I'm so sorry my darling that you're having to deal with this. Stand Your Ground. You deserve a better mattress.”
