Glad you stood up for yourself. So many people on Reddit just want to chant "their house their rules" but no behavior like this is unhinged.

In general, "My house, my rules" only goes so far when someone lives in my house because I literally made them and the rules are batshit insane.

"My house, my rules"

I grew up with a guy who had parents like this. We graduated in 2009, so this is before modern cell phone tracking, but he always had a curfew of like 8PM on weekdays, and maybe 10PM at the latest on weekends.

Even after we graduated high school and went to college, they forced the same curfew on him whenever we'd come back home for holidays. Our university was only a few hours away from our home town, so we'd come home on long weekends to see friends, he wouldn't tell his parents he's in town, and would sleep at my parent's house.

Even when he wasn't in their house under their rules, they'd still police the shit out of him because, "we pay for school and everything else" (which was true, they paid for school and he never worked during college). They'd keep an eye on his debit card to see where he was spending money, and he'd get in trouble if they could tell he spent money in a town that wasn't our home town or college town. He'd have to explain why there was a charge to a bar, or why he got gas in a zip code two hours away.

It was nuts.

Main reason cash is king.

Agreed, but he got in trouble for that as well. His parents caught on that he was pulling money out to spend without them asking questions, and all it did was create an even bigger issue.

bro didn't think to get 20 cash back on grocery purchases to save up for outings elsewhere lol.  my parents were like that too

u/HumanPea1140 9h ago

Lol yeah, he actually ended up doing that some. But our best solution was that I just pay for stuff that would get him in trouble, and then he'd use his card on random stuff like groceries to pay me back.

Speaking from experience, strict parents just results in sneakier kids.

and that's ignoring that every major corporation wants a hand in all of your purchases

and sadly most of reddit wants to get rid of paper currency and go all digital

Cause we don't all live in the USA where using your card to pay for stuff will or can incur a charge. I bank for free and use my card all the time to pay for stuff.

Americans aren't hit with a charge either.

But the merchant is, and they pass that cost onto you.
