I live in an apartment near my college with 2 roommates - Emily and Kate. We’re all 20sF. The conflict is mainly between Emily and me.
So, for context, my mom and I call each other everyday, and usually a couple times a day. It’s nothing major, I call her when I’m walking back from one of my classes, she calls me when she’s making lunch, I call her before I go to bed, etc. The calls combined aren’t ever more than 30 minutes and it’s mainly just to check in with each other in our spare time. She doesn’t go crazy if I don’t call at all she just assumes I’m busy and we text each other good night.
My roommate Emily always had something to say about it and I always brushed it off because she’s also my friend so I just assume it was her being annoying for fun.
Anyways, she tells me, “it’s really weird you still call your mom everyday. It’s like you have some unresolved issues or something”
I look at her and point out she hasn’t spoken to her parents at all since we’ve been back in school from winter break and hasn’t seen them in over 3 months.
I say “if anything you might have some mommy issues since you’ve been ignoring her for 3 months now”
Now both her and Kate (who has always been closer to Emily than me) are saying that I overstepped and people can have different relationships with their parents.
But in my head if they say that, then she doesn’t have to comment that I call my mom too much.
AITA here?
