Wish my parents would take the "not swearing at me and shouting about how they own the house I live in" challenge every time I push back mildly against them treating me like a literal child challenge.

#they're on the 'you can't lock your door' thing again #and once again using fire safety as a fig leaf for being mad about not being able to get into my room without me unlocking it #and I didn't even say no is the thing #I said that I didn't feel I had any other way of enforcing privacy as a boundary #and that I didn't think it was reasonable that I should be Disallowed from locking myself into a room on fire safety grounds #when they both do that all the time #so why is there one rule for them and one for me?#the answer you will be pleased to hear is #'do whatever you want then you selfish fucking bitch'#and 'I pay the rent!'#there is not rent #they own this house outright #and a second house which my sister lives in rent free #they don't give a shit about 'what if there is a fire?'#the problem is #'how dare you presume that you can lock part of my house away from me #and how dare you presume that you are a person with rights and not an extension of me I should be able to control at will?'#if fire safety is such a fucking risk then why can you lock yourself in a room to get away from 'the madness' but I'm not allowed?#also fwiw I never raised my voice or said anything harsher than 'I feel that I have no other way of having my privacy respected'#and 'I don't think that makes sense as a reason given that you lock yourself in rooms all the time and I don't see how that is different'#but anything other than unflinching obedience is verbal abuse time #like always #love that for me
