Daughter Refuses To Give Up Pets’ Room For Parents, They Get Upset And Moves In A Hotel

Parents play a significant part in their children’s development since their lifestyle and approach to life influence their children’s personalities. When kids became adults, they sought to live by their own rules, free of their parents’ restraints, because they were often opposed to their parents’ way of life.

OP, 37, lived alone with her two cats and two dogs in a three-bedroom house. She didn’t want to stay with her parents because she despised their dominating behavior. OP designated one of the rooms for her pets, while the other two were used as a bedroom and an office. OP had no children and had never dated anyone, so she lived in luxury with her pets thanks to her well-paying career. Her parents had visited her four years ago, when OP did not have any pets, and the room was then utilized as a guest room. OP’s parents called and wanted to stay with her because they had lost their own home. OP informed them that she no longer had room for them because it had been converted into a pet room, but they may stay in her living room. They became unhappy because OP valued her pets over them and began criticizing her on the phone.
