Does my aunt have a right to say this?

Question

She is visiting here for a couple days and she HATES when the tv is on. I have certain shows I like to watch in the summer because when school starts, I don't watch those shows. She, right in front of me, complains to my mom about it. What the h**l? Its not her house, its mine. She constantly complains about it while in the morning, while Im still sleeping since I usually sleep late, she talks loudly enough to wake me up. She wakes up around 5 am. Does she have a right to complain to my mom? Im 18 by the way.

Answer 1

Some people are just right all the time. Like my own mother. :) She even re-washed her laundry when I tried to do it for her once! If the dishwasher is not loaded HER way, she re-does it. If it's not done HER way, it's WRONG!

Just ignore it! Actually, talk to your mom about it. Tell her you really don't appreciate it, and see if your mom will stick up for you. If it's her sister, she may or may not, but it's worth a chance! If you mom lets you watch those shows, don't worry about it!

Answer 2

Haha, sounds like The Aunt From h**l!

lol

Answer 3

its not YOUR house for one its your parents

you sound like an immature brat go do something instead of sitting in front of the television

your 18 move out or shut up

also if your mother had a problem with her complaining SHE would say something

Answer 4

it is your house.yeah you have to be nice to family but she is a guest in your house so you have a right to watch tv talk to you mom about it or try to get away from it by going to a friends house or to the movies

Answer 5

Umm, idk

You just let her watch whatever she wants to that's the best probably haha! she's bigger than you

I had an aunt like her, I'd just wait till she goes away

Cheers :)

Answer 6

I feel, and this is my own personal oppinion. I feel that you have every right to watch what you want to watch! I think she sees herself as a guest and should be given what she wants, maybe. Perhaps you could where ear phones and listen to music while you sleep that way you don't hear her in the morning and watch t.v. even when she complains. Do as you always do, I think.  

Answer 7

She has no right to do that. My mom had a friend who was a single mom with 3 kids. They had building going on at their house, so they moved in with us for 2 weeks while they had no roof on a section of their house. That was painful..... My mom said she never knew what a pest that women could be. She nags about everything, tells her kids exactly what to do and when to do it, has a second-by-second routine (and we are planned over here but nothing like that). She drove me crazy.

Tell your mom. She might feel the same way.  

Answer 8

it is not your house. its your mom's house. get out as soon as possible. some people never realize that their actions or behaviors are affecting others. she has a right to complain to whoever she wants but i also think that if she has a problem with you, she should speak to you directly and leave your mom out of it. also if you have a problem with your aunt, you should do the same. tell her that you are an adult now, even if she doesn't think so, and that you feel you deserve some respect. let her know how important your shows are. figure out a way to get your complaints across to her in a manner that she can still feel like she is respected and listen to her complaints. she is supposed to stay for a week and a half... just hope she doesn't end up moving in.  good luck

Answer 9

Yeah, she's a guest, so she doesn't really have a right to ***** about. I'm sorry. :( Good luck surviving the rest of the week.

Answer 10

she ca suck wind so she does not have the right

Answer 11

I think the house belongs to your Mother. Only she can tell her to back off, and to consider your sleeping habits. You are an adult living in your mother's house, if your mother says nothing, and you don't like that then move out, it's all up to your mother.

Answer 12

You are an adult and she is a guest in your house. If she is so annoyed with the tv she should ask if you can turn down the volume or she should leave the room. I mean...you've got to be respectful because she is your aunt, but she sounds really whiney...

Answer 13

She has a right to complain - but she's also being disrespectful to her hosts; your mom should have put a damper on this by now.

Incidentally, unless you're paying rent it isn't really 'your' house either.  You live there at your parents' discretion, which they can revoke.

Answer 14

of course she has a right to complain. she has the right to say anything she wants. so just suck it up until she leaves. then you can go back to watching your shows.

Answer 15

Get a grip

It's only a week and a half and it's only TV!

Answer 16

Whinny relatives make me mad also but since we are being technical it is techinically your parents house not yours you can talk to your parents but if they agree with her then you are over ridden you don't pay the bills you just live there that means basically you have no say. Good luck if it is that big of a deal move.

Answer 17

She has the right to complain but it's very rude for her to do so when she's a guest at your home. I would be pissed off, too.  

Answer 18

You are over reacting.She is overreacting.

It is whatever your mom decides..it is your MOMS house..not yours.

Don't you have tv in your room? if you stay up late to watch tv, then keep the volume down.Even if you think nobody can hear it.

Answer 19

talk to your parents  ...she has no right it's your house

Answer 20

No, she'll be gone soon though!

Answer 21

As long as she lives in America yes. She can say whatever.  

Answer 22

No, it's your house!

I would get really pissed off.

Answer 23

Not at all.

it's your house!

She's a guest yeah, & you should be considerate of her too.

Answer 24

just ignore her :)

ask ur mom if she can ask her to leave u alone haha

go in a different room where u can shut the door if possible

if u can't just turn up the tv really loud and watch

hahah :)

Answer 25

no way! whiny relatives p**s me off

Answer 26

she doesn't have to right to.

you should teach her a lesson.

tell her it's not her house and if she doesn't like to tv, get out of the room. and say i don't care, stop complaing, i should repect you but if youre not respecting me, why should i?

Answer 27

No, you're not a child and it's not her house.
