im a 14 y/o with 3 siblings and 2 parents, but i feel like i dont have enough privacy because we only have 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and just a pretty small place in general. my parents are in one room and me and my siblings aged 7, 9 and 12 are in the other so it's pretty cramped and the 12 y/o especially is a huge hoarder and leaves everything (clothes, papers, books, pencils/pens, anything) all over the floor, like i need to jump around just to get to the closet.
when i need to change there is always one person is in the bedroom, one in the parents room and one in the bathroom so i just gotta change with someone in the room or wait until someone leaves a room so i can just change. it's even worse when it comes to waking up because me, the 12 y/o and my dad all shower in the morning so we need specific times. my takes a shower at 7:30 so I took a shower at 7:00 but he thinks it's too late or something so he's asking me to shower at 6 or 6:30 so im taking a shower at 6:30 and try to do everything i need to do in the bathroom for 30 mins. the 12 y/o has 6 to 6:30 to herself but she always goes over so i have less time? i get it i mean it takes 20mins to take a shower so now we have 10 minutes to put lotion, change, brush teeth, skincare which isn't enough.
i just wanna walk into my own bathroom and take my time to do my hair and stuff (i now put my hair in braids so that i don't spend time making it in the morning even tho i wish i could) and do some stretches cause right now i have no space to do it cause the bedroom's messy and small and i mean i dont want 4 people watching me stretch? it's even worse because sometimes my parents are always asking me to start stretching and stuff but like i honestly cant at home and they're always asking me to do skincare and selfcare and stuff i just get so frustrated like why would you have 4 children without moving first (they're always talking and joking about how they wished they had 6 too)?
speaking of moving tho, they bought a house and said they were thinking of renting it to others as another source of income (they like to do business) but they were talking about whether we want to live there. it's big and i kinda wanted to but it was just so sudden and i didnt think they were serious cause they didnt actually sit us down and have a family discussion so we were like lol it's ok but now i really regret it even tho it's really dirty and in needs of renovation.
it also doesn't help that the siblings i need to sleep in the same room ain are kinda irritating me now which i get is normal to feel but i genuinely think there's something wrong with them like the 7 and 9 y/o fight all the time and cry (they're crying and screaming at least twice a day and im genuinely not exaggerating even at 7 in the morning sometimes they're screaming and crying ugly and fighting). they get violent sometimes and yell at me when i try to stop a fight and i really care about them but im just so tired they're terrible people i love them but i just needed somewhere to rant.
im also want advice as to how to deal with this and we cant move anytime soon cause my parents need to pay morgage and stuff with the new house, they have a shop + our apartment.
thank u:)

it's weird to talk to a stranger and that stranger is your dad
im like, i know we should know each other but we dont but like, you cant just start making small talk with your dad like you would a stranger lol very interes...
That doesn’t sound right. Most people who own homes have to pay a monthly mortgage and still live in the house….your life seems rough. I feel bad for you. This will be something to remember when you’re rich
Reply**i meant to say they're NOT terrible people in the post my mistake
ReplyKid every rich person's background starts like this. But you can have a big room with more space but at one point you will miss being in the cramped place.
For time being, maybe you could talk to your siblings (12 year old) for your personal space and discuss with your parents on having a 'cleaning day' so that it feels less crampy. You could also set a 'me time' to stretch and do skincare when everyone is asleep (strategize who uses the bathroom when) , go to library for more peace and silence
Hope it helps!
