Nobody likes to be left out of a plan. Being excluded from something is one of the worst feelings in the world. It will leave you rejected and reeling with self-doubt. Especially if the people doing that excluding are the ones who are supposed to love you unconditionally. That would have to hurt the most. But what do we do when we feel this rejection? Pretend like it doesn’t exist or try to hold those who made you feel that way accountable? It’s a hard decision, especially when you live with your family. 

Those are the questions that came up in this story, where a college-aged kid was suddenly saddled with a bunch of responsibilities that they were not ready for. And when it came time to face their parents about this, they weren’t so receptive. Is it fair for them to expect their adult child to take care of the house while they are away? Was the child being too precious about their free time and not contributing enough to the household? That’s why they reached out to the internet for help.
