Would It Be Reasonable To Tell My Aunt She Can't Drink In The House?

[Cindy1302]

My aunt moved in with me a few months ago. She drinks almost everyday, and she gets at least a buzz, but sometimes she gets so drunk she can hardly walk, or stand. She's not mean or anything, but like I said, she can hardly walk, and stand. She has issues walking sober as it is. My dad was a raging drunk throughout my childhood. My parents got a divorce in 2010, then my mom became an alcoholic. I lived with her until I moved in here with my aunt a few months ago. Right after I moved out, my mom quit drinking, and now I have to deal with my aunt drinking. Like I said, shes not mean, but she makes things difficult. She's been drunk most of the day. I tried taking a nap like 5 times, but she kept coming to my room to tell me to do things, even after I told her I was going to lay down. A while ago she had me get up to go cut a sticker bush down from around the house. She wanted me to use a rubber oven mitt so I didnt stick myself. I told her that i already have a leather glove I use for that stuff, and she insisted I use the mitt, so did, because I didn't want to argue, so I was outside like a weirdo using an oven mitt to do yard work. I dont think she'd be acting like this if she wasn't drinking, so im thinking of telling her no more alcohol in my house.

Irrespective of whether it would be 'reasonable' or not to lay down such a rule, it would simply be totally unrealistic anyway.  Someone who's addicted to alcohol (as your aunt clearly is) would either simply ignore the rule altogether or pretend to go along with it while still smuggling alcohol into the house anyway.

Is this right? You moved in with your aunt, moved out then she moved in with you?

Send your aunt to live with your mother

Just tell her that things are not working out and you would like her to move out as you seem to dislike most things she does or they at least annoy you a lot.  Then you will have more time to complain about everyone else in your life.

Did your aunt drink before you lived with her?

🤣 asking a question without putting it into words.  ^

I don't know what you mean, sandyRoe 👼

No it would not be reasonable.

You moved out of your mothers home and together with your aunt moved into another home (where you did not have a job) 

she is paying at least half the bills. You cannot dictate what a pets does in their home.
