The internet is filled with stories about irresponsible young people who can’t do anything, live with their parents full-time and the slightest everyday trouble totally embarrasses them.

Young people like them usually also don’t want to listen to their own parents and grandparents, who left their parental home back in their youth, earned decent money and were completely independent. Yes, that kind of situation takes place for sure, but sometimes the opposite also happens.

More info: Reddit

    The guy was kicked out from his parents’ home as soon as he turned 18

    Like this story of an 18 Y.O. Redditor whose AITA post skyrocketed in popularity, gaining 18.6K upvotes and over 2.2K comments in just two days (and it’s far from over, we’re sure).

    So, the original poster is an ordinary teenager who lived with his parents, and right on his 18th birthday, at the stroke of twelve, his father entered his room, tore off his blanket and said: “You’ve just turned eighteen – get out of my house!”

    The OP still wanted to play it safe so he already had about $5K in savings

    We must say that the OP was actually prepared for this turn of events. His parents told him more than once that they couldn’t wait for him to come of age so that he would move out – and then they could have their desired peace and tranquility in their house!

    Of course, the OP usually took this as a joke, but he still wanted to play it safe. By the time he came of age he already had about $5K in savings from various part-time jobs so he could afford to rent an apartment and pay the bills.

    The parents told his grandfather that their son had just moved out to attend college

    So the teenager packed all his stuff and spent the night at his best friend’s house. The next morning he reached out to another friend, who had an apartment for rent, and moved. Some time later, he had a family group FaceTime call with his grandparents, his aunt and uncle, and his parents as well.

    At one point, grandpa asked the OP: “So, as your dad says, you moved out to attend college?” The guy was a bit surprised and replied that in fact, his parents had just kicked him out of the house on his 18th birthday.

    Grandpa literally “went off” and scolded OP’s parents for kicking their own son out and for lying to him as well. He cursed them out in front of all the relatives and in front of the OP himself and this lasted for about two hours.

    After some time, the parents themselves gave OP a call, telling him that his grandfather had never insulted them like that before, blaming their son for snitching with a lot of curse words themselves. Then they finally ended the call.

    People online were completely outraged by the OP’s parents’ behavior

    Basically all of the commenters supported the OP, being completely outraged by his parents’ behavior. Someone noted that, even if we ignore the moral side of the issue, according to the law, his parents should have given him a written notice to leave their house in advance.

    The OP himself admitted he planned to celebrate his birthday with homies, to which he was advised to definitely do this with his grandfather – after all, the old man really had his back, being way more familial than the parents themselves.

    Somebody even told the 18 Y.O. guy that he was the only real adult person in his family

    According to another commenter, if the guy told his grandfather the truth and his parents were offended by this, then he was probably the only adult person in the family. As for the parents, by the way – someone aptly wrote that in time, they can probably be expected to write an angry Reddit post about an ungrateful son refusing to take care of them.

    The problems of children and parents are always extremely complicated – at any age, in any situation, and we’ll be so grateful to you for sharing your own opinion about this story. Furthermore, just tell us your own story, and you’ll be golden! Almost like OP’s grandpa.

    When my friend turned 16, his mam called him out to him in the morning to 'get dressed and come down here'. He threw some clothes on and started making his way. He stopped when he reached the top of the stairs because he saw his mam standing there with a suitcase and white envelope. She said, 'Here's a birthday card with some money in it [£500], and here's a suitcase with some of your clothes. I've booked you into [local hotel's name] for a week, already paid for, but you'll have to contact the councils housing authority for somewhere after that, there's a letter in your case that you can show them to prove I've kicked you out. come and see me in a few week to get the rest of your things. Good luck, Happy birthday, I love you'. He said he didn't say a word, just gave her a kiss on the cheek and left. For the record, he was a heroin addict at the time and she had just reached her limit. He says it was the best thing to happen to him and he and his ma are now best friends.

    The way she did everything you can tell she loved him and was just at the end of her rope. I am so glad everything worked out for the best for your friend and his mom.

    Any "parents" who think the kid's 18th birthday is a license kick him/her out of the house should never have had kids to begin with.
