The best part about owning your own home? Nobody can bother you—but we all know that’s not really true. It’s difficult to feel like you’ve actually spread your wings and gained independence when your financially irresponsible parents find a way back into your life, literally rent-free, and make their issues your problem. Sure, they raised you and gave you all the tools you need to get ahead in this world. That doesn’t mean they should just become your children to take care of when you’ve finally found your footing. Bonus points if your adult siblings follow suit and make your life harder!

Both parents and siblings are fully capable of keeping themselves afloat if they try at all. Scroll below to finish the story.
