Her Parents Refuse To Give Her And Her Twin Sister Their Own Bedrooms Even Though They Live In A Four-Bedroom House With Separate Guest And Office Rooms That Are Barely Used

This girl is fourteen and currently lives with her twin sister, Kate, and her parents in a four-bedroom house. But, she honestly cannot take their living arrangement anymore.
Her parents have taken the master as their bedroom; meanwhile, the second room is a guest room, and the third is her father’s office.
This means that she and Kate have shared the fourth room their entire lives– and it just does not make sense to her.
“The three regular bedrooms are small. Dad works from home two days a week, and we have guests maybe ten days a year,” she explained.
On top of that, she and her sister are two very different people who do not cope well living together. She claims to be very outgoing and enjoys having guests over.
Kate, on the other hand, is reportedly an introvert who enjoys watching old television shows and talking to people on Discord.
So, as you can imagine, their differences start a lot of arguments. Kate apparently likes order and organization, and she just wants to be able to put her clothes on a chair without being yelled at.
In turn, the twin sisters have been begging to get their own rooms since they were nine years old. But, her parents have always refused and claimed that they did not have enough space “for everybody’s needs.”
Then, once the COVID-19 pandemic hit, she and Kate barely survived quarantining together. They apparently fought all of the time, and her sister would sometimes move her stuff into the guest room to get some space.

Every time, though, her mom would yell at Kate– because her mom keeps her craft stuff in the guest room closet and would make comments like, “What if grandma has to stay with us for a while?”
So, she and her sister have been left trying to live in a space that they have outgrown. She claims that their stuff barely fits in there anymore.
The closet cannot hold all of their clothes, and Kate’s books are kept in stacks on the floor. Even her friends ask why she and Kate are still sleeping in bunkbeds when they live in a four-bedroom house.
“And I love my sister, but this is making me like her less, and sometimes I think she barely tolerates me because we are always in each other’s space,” she revealed.
Just a few days ago, she and her sister got into yet another argument, too. It all began when she was looking for her hair curler and accidentally caused a “book avalanche,” which ultimately knocked Kate’s lego set off the desk.
This immediately prompted a screaming match before both she and her sister asked their parents “for the thousandth time” to combine the guestroom and office. That way, she and Kate would each be able to have their own space.
Her dad was quick to turn that one down, though, and claimed that he “absolutely” needed an office. But, she snapped back about how she “absolutely” needed a closet and pointed out how stuffing she and Kate in one room while they had so much space just made no sense.
Then, her mom joined the argument and ended up taking her dad’s side. Her mom claimed that she and Kate were not “entitled” to their own rooms and brought up how millions of children still share rooms around the globe.
On top of that, her mom advised them to get rid of some stuff and “stop living like hoarders” if they wanted more space in their bedroom.
All of that really ticked her off, though, and she proceeded to ask her mom who was entitled to a guest room that is empty three hundred and forty-six days every year and, likewise, an office that is only used twice a week.
She also asked why she was the unreasonable one for wanting some adequate living space.
Still, none of her points seemed to get through to her parents, and everyone just kept arguing in circles.
At one point, her sister Kate even grabbed her laptop and locked herself in the guestroom. Then, once her dad asked what Kate thought she was doing, her sister responded by saying, “Googling nursing homes with bunk beds.” Yikes!
The following day, her grandma and aunt also visited and heard about the entire fight. Then, they, too, claimed to be disappointed in her and her sister and accused them of being ungrateful for everything that they had.
“I don’t believe I’m a [jerk] because I was just asking to use the space we already have,” she vented.
At the same time, though, she recognizes that it is her parent’s home– not her’s or Kate’s. So, she has been left wondering if fighting with her parents about getting her own bedroom actually makes her ungrateful or not.
Why do you think her parents are deadset on having a guest room if they barely ever have any guests? Similarly, do you think her dad needs an office if he only works from home two days a week, or would it make more sense to combine the guestroom and office? Is it reasonable for her and Kate to continue living like this throughout high school? If you were in her shoes, how would you feel?
