People love music. They love listening to it and dancing to it, and the lucky few talented enough get to play it. Love for music is something special.

But it is not enough to just love music or be talented. Nope, it takes hard work and a lot of practice to become a good musician.

And even though we all live the end result (a well-rehearsed song), listening to rehearsal is not that pleasant. There are many mistakes and many repetitions of the same parts of the melody… it is not for everyone, we can tell you.

One Redditor asked, "AITA for asking my dad to move his band rehearsal to another part of the house?"

They explained their situation:" My dad is a part of this folk band that has rehearsals every once in a while at our house. Recently, they've been having rehearsals pretty often since they have a concert coming up. So they're coming over today for the fourth time this month or two, and my parents didn't tell me until this morning."

OP has no problem with them rehearsing in the house, as they usually just leave the house until they're done.

But they had plans for this particular day. "I planned on using today to get some of my college assignments done. So I asked my dad how long they would be here for, and he told me they'd be here for 2-3 hours. That kind of bummed me out since I didn't know what I'd do out for that long, so I tried coming up with a compromise."

So, they asked them to move the rehearsal to a different part of the house. It didn't go well...

OP asks:

Their dad has a folk band

And they rehears in the living room

OP asked their dad to change rooms in the house

It didn't go well

Their parents started yelling

It ended in a compromise, but OP asks if what they did was so wrong

Long story short:

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:

Pretty basic stuff...

Logical?

If this were happening a couple of times a week...

It's only been a few times in the last month or two...

OP sounds entitled

"You can go to a library, coffee shop, your actual school, etc to find a quiet place to do your project."

"Your parents house, you pay nothing"

Make plans, OP

"Their house, their rules"

This Redditor doesn't get why this blew up.

"Even if you're not financially contributing, you still live there and should get to mention when something makes you uncomfortable."

OP should have a calm talk with their parents to check if everything is all right.

Well, this was an interesting story. OP is clearly confused by the sheer volatility of their parents' reaction.

"I just don't know if I'm the AH for even bringing up that the band rehearses somewhere else." it is hard to figure out if they solve all of their problems by shouting. They should have a talk.
