Ok so for background, my mom has a new boyfriend who comes over on the weekend and he LOVES to complain. Where we keep our dog bowls, The fact that we let our dogs roam the house, the way we lock our back door, etc. he always gives his 2 cents and expects the house to accommodate his request. And my mom is the type where her bf and his opinions are priority over my siblings and other family members so she tries to get it to follow suit or else we’re “ungrateful children who don’t want to see her happy” (her favorite line used against us over the last 5 bfs she’s claimed to be her future husband.)

So, Dude’s most recent complaint is about where I park my car. Me and my siblings all have cars so the driveway is “full” but we always lived by the silent rule of the sooner you get your car, the better the spot you get. My mom got the garage, my older sis got the open treeless part of the driveway, and I’m parked slightly under a tree in the driveway and personally cut branches to better keep my car clean from leaves and bird poop. And when dude comes over, he wants to park behind me in front of the garage. He regularly drives a Chevy Malibu and wants me to park fully under the tree not because his car won’t fit, but because he doesn’t want his car too close to our trash cans.

He’s asked me a few times to move even going as far as complaining to my mom to force her to make me move and I refuse. We have a big driveway. He can park diagonally and there would be no problem. There’s even 2 spots in front of my sister’s car, he can park on the side of the road, or up front in the grass, but he insists on parallel parking behind me almost bumper to bumper.

After weeks of complaining, he decides to start driving his Ram truck which is bigger and says “I’m driving my truck today, you gotta give me some space.” (Spoiler: I don’t) Some might feel like I’m making a big deal over a parking spot, but I need this guy to know that he is not my king and doesn’t get to dictate how this house is being run after only 3 months dating my mom. So AITA for not parking under the tree and giving him what he wants?
