AIO for being pissed that my parents are having another baby
I (18F) am the oldest child of a 7 kid, 2 parent household. I just finished my freshman year at university, which was truthfully the most peace I’ve ever had in my life, and I’m home for summer break. I’ve been home for barely three days and my mom announces that she’s pregnant (again) and all I feel is acute annoyance. For context, our house is extremely small for a family of our size. It’s 1 floor, 3 bedrooms (average of 3 ppl per room), and 1 1/2 bath. We are bursting at the seams. There is no privacy or space. I swear my parents must think we’re sardines the way they keep packing us in here. I know they’re planning on keeping the baby because they’re extremely catholic, pro-life, and “don’t believe” in contraception. My dad has a good job to support us, but money is stretched thinner and thinner the more of us there are. Don’t get me wrong I love them all to death but I’m just so tired of being crammed. I want to go off on my parents and just tell them to chill tf out on all these babies but I don’t think it’s my place. I know I should be grateful cause our situation could be worse but I’m at a loss. Am I Overreacting?
Edit: Thank you everyone for your insights about summer housing and employment. I’ve just secured my first part time job and I’m saving as fast as I can for my own place. I’m new to this whole adult thing lol so I really appreciate those who’ve given me suggestions on how I can be more independent. And to everyone who’s told me it’s none of my business, you’re right. Anger can really cloud the mind so thanks for putting things into perspective for me. Although I do think some of you underestimate how terrible the job and housing market are right now 😅
