This Mom Told Her Daughter That If She Doesn’t Want To Live With Her Sister, She Can Go Find Somewhere Else To Live
A mom has 2 daughters, a 19-year-old named Lorna and a 23-year-old named Chloe. Now, she and her husband own a house in a rural area, and then 5 months ago, they bought a 2-bedroom apartment in a major city that’s about a 3-hour car ride from them.
When she and her husband bought the apartment, they figured they could enjoy it for weekend getaways.
But, 2 years ago, Chloe applied to a college located in that exact city where their apartment was located, and she got accepted.
She and her husband figured it would be good for Chloe to live in the apartment while they paid for all of her utilities.
Chloe is currently still in school, and she will be graduating in 2 years.
“This year, Lorna got accepted into the same university, and she asked us if she could stay in the apartment with Chloe,” she explained “We didn’t see why not and informed Chloe that her sister was going to be joining her.”
“Chloe was really angry and said that we should’ve asked her if it was okay, and said that she needs her own space. We reminded Chloe that they’ll be able to have their own bedrooms and that it’s only a temporary arrangement until she graduates and finds a job.”
“Chloe told us that’s not the point. She said that she already uses the spare bedroom as her study room and that she doesn’t want to live with Lorna. She said that Lorna is annoying and that she likes living on her own.”
Her husband quickly pointed out to Chloe that she was living in the apartment that they owned without paying a dime, so Lorna was entitled to the same arrangement.

Her husband then said it was up to Chloe and Lorna to figure out how to live together in peace and without annoying each other.
2 months ago, Lorna moved into the apartment, and initially, everything seemed to be fine between her and Chloe.
She made sure to check in with the girls so she could monitor how they were getting along, and neither Chloe nor Lorna said anything was wrong.
Well, a week ago, she got a phone call from Chloe, insisting that Lorna needed to leave the apartment.
Chloe stated that Lorna really cannot be allowed to live with her any longer because she needs to be alone in the apartment.
“I asked Chloe what’s going on, and she described very petty problems such as Lorna’s room being messy, not having a study room, not being able to play the TV on loud at night, etc.,” she said.
“I told Chloe that that’s the reality of living with other people and that she needs to learn how to compromise and that we aren’t kicking Lorna out.”
“Chloe protested and said that she was living there first and implied that Lorna should live in dorms because she’s younger. She kept talking over me and shouting into the phone when I was trying to explain that would be unreasonable. I eventually lost my temper and told Chloe if she doesn’t like it, she can move out and pay rent and bills elsewhere.”
Chloe began sobbing and insisted that she needed to understand where she was coming from.
Chloe started crying and said that I should be more understanding, then hung up the phone.”
Her husband believes that Chloe is being bratty about the whole thing and that she was correct in telling Chloe to move out if she had a problem with her living arrangement.
She’s not sure she was right with how she handled everything because Chloe has since been nonresponsive to her calls or texts.
Obviously, Chloe is really hurt. Do you think she did the right thing?
