So I’m 24 and I still live at home. I work from home 3 days a week one week and go in 3 days , I rotate weeks.
Sometimes I’ll work from home more because my manager allows us to. I didn’t think me working from home was an issue because honestly I stay in my room literally all day besides maybe coming out once or twice to eat. Last week was my work from home week and on Tuesday my manager told me that I can stay home tomorrow if I want. For context my commute it about an hour away and i’m always stuck in traffic in the morning to a supposed she was was just being nice. She also said that we might have mandatory in person meeting the following week so I can just stay home tomorrow.
The next morning “Wednesday” my mom asked me if i’m going to work I said yes but I work from home , she asked me why and I told her .
Fast forward to yesterday “wednesday” of the following week. She asked me i thought you were supposed to go into work today and I said yea well she changed it to zoom because people were complaining about having to come in on their day off. She then laughed as if I was lying and said “Next week I want you in office all 3 days, there’s no reason for you to be home and I want to enjoy my time alone before you have to be home more often” (I’m starting school again soon and It’s mostly online for the first few months)
I said “Okay , that’s fine but it seems like i’m bothering you?” and she said no but I want to be alone. Again it is not like i’m in her face at all, we almost never even see each other while i’m home so to be it makes me feel like i’m not wanted in the house? Which makes me uncomfortable because honestly at 24 living in NYC i can’t afford literally anything. Studios at 2 grand and that’s more than i make a month.
They have threatened to kick me out multiple times before this so honestly my walls go up when I hear stuff like this. So I just said Okay and went in my room. I stayed in my room all day and at 6 I had to take my little sister to her sports practice so I just left and went to my boyfriends house after. The point is I didn’t speak to them the rest of the day. Not ignoring them but I guess avoiding them.
This morning I said goodmorning to my mom and she looked at me walked past me and slammed the door in my face.
Am I wrong for feeling awkward and a little hurt after what she said? AITAH
I’m also gonna provide a LITTLE more context to our relationship. There was a point where my mom and dad threatened to kick me out for being too “too myself” I said okay and I packed some stuff and said i’m gonna stay with my boyfriend and his family because i got tired of the back and fourth. My mom then was offended that I would just up and leave and not try to “work it out” with them. She said if anything happens and it doesn’t work out I will not be able to come back home and the doors will be closed. I got nervous.. and came back home LOL now i’m dealing with this
Please wait...
