Moving out of your parent's home to focus on building your future is a huge step that requires a lot of adjustment and commitment. It's a big step everyone eventually has to take to become independent and do something with their lives. 

Parents often find it hard when one of their kids, with various responsibilities around the household, decides to leave the nest. The transition is always challenging, and some parents are not ready to let go of their children yet.

Even when it's hard, it's a necessary step that helps you evolve and grow into an adult. Parents might try to delay it but eventually give up and accept it.  

A Redditor who later deleted their account made a post on the r/AmItheA**hole subReddit where they explained how they told their parents they would move out of their home in a "heartbeat." The user's mom had a hostile reaction to the user's statement, and the user felt unsure about how they handled the situation, so they decided to consult with the Reddit community. 

The r/AmItheA**hole community had a lot of different and engaging reactions to the user's post. Scroll down to check out the full Reddit post, and scroll a little further to read the comments from the original post. 

Here's the original post by a Reddit user who later deleted their account:

OP's parents expect them to constantly watch over their family dog and siblings.

The user doubted the way they dealt with the situation, so they decided to consult with the Reddit community.

OP eventually modified the post to include an "Edit" with more context.

OP eventually added a second update about the situation.

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to the user's post:

It's not easy for a parent to hear something like that, especially considering OP's crucial role in their household.

OP should pick a school out-of-state to get away from their parents.

OP should isolate themselves to fix this problem once and for all.

OP is going above and beyond for their family.

The parents need to change how they treat OP.

Internet strangers can be more supportive than your own family.

OP's parents are toxic, and they need to free themselves from them.

The parents need to grow up and learn how to take criticism.

"Sometimes a quick break from studying is a good thing."

It's not simple to take care of a dog suffering from a recurrent condition.

OP doesn't mind taking care of the dog as long as no extra chores are attached to it.

"There are a lot of houses that are rentals with tenants always looking for an extra roommate..."

OP needs to keep their address secret after moving out.

OP applied to med school and is still waiting for a response.

OP needs to move out ASAP before things get worse.

OP doesn't need to put up with their parents' constant expectations. They need to move out of there as soon as possible and focus on their future.

It always sucks when your own parents treat you this way and don't value you as much as other family members. If you enjoyed reading this, make sure to check out similar content on our platform.
