nta, for starters it seems like your parents have created an uncomfortable living situation. while i understand that they’re probably doing their best, it’s not fair for them to shove everything in your trailer & expect you to be happy about it. maybe wait for things to calm a bit & try having a talk w them? i’m sorry OP :/

We just got finished moving all of our stuff here over the last two weeks and haven’t had time to sort it, me and S live in the pop up together while everyone else lives in the other one. Me and S have put essentially everything that can’t be outside and isn’t necessary into our camper to keep the other one cleaner. S asked M and SD if they could put some stuff outside for a bit to sort through things because we can’t move, we don’t have a walkway and have to climb over boxes and baskets for bed

SD got pissed and started yelling and saying how us complaining that we don’t have enough space is adding to our mom’s stress and we shouldn’t be so ungrateful. He then asked if we would rather have no walkway or no AC? (That camper ac doesn’t work very well but they have a portable air conditioner that keeps their camper at least 73 most of the day) his question doesn’t even make sense because we also don’t have ac??? At night we do, but during the day it gets too hot and our ac freezes so we

have to turn it off all day. They were literally just asking if they could move stuff outside to clean and sort so we could reach our fucking beds

Why don’t you live in a normal house?

Family wants to be on a homestead so they bought a patch of woods and spent all our money cleaning a spot just big enough for our campers, now we slowly save and spend it all at once, like we just bought a power post to plug the campers in and now we’re saving for water hookups, then we have to save for a septic system, then for a tiny house, and then another, and so on

He doesn’t calm down, he’s a “my word is law” type of person, disagreeing brings it all up again

sounds just like my dad.. in my experience the best thing to do is not engage with him. when he starts getting amped up about something walk away if you can. if that’s not possible - don’t engage. nod, say “okay”, and exit the conversation asap. things will get better when you’re able to move away. i’m really sorry this is going on. :/

That’s what we normally try to do, but today it was such a situation because we needed to move stuff around to be able to go to bed and he was making such a fight about. They have a walkway, they have ac, they don’t really have counter space but neither do we. The only thing better about our camper is that we have two king size beds that slide out and they have a full and a twin

i understand that. sometimes it’s just unavoidable. and there’s also times where you don’t wanna be a doormat that he walks all over. i have a dad and a step-mom who “ruled with an iron fist” so to speak. play nice as often as you can and get the hell out of there as soon as that’s a possibility for you. this too shall pass, hang in there :,)
