A teenager has revealed a ‘crazy’ list of house rules handed to him by his stepmother following his part-time move to his father’s home. 

The unnamed teen, 15, from the US uploaded a photo of the printed out list on Reddit, alongside his concerns regarding potential consequences if he doesn’t adhere to the rules. 

Posting on the subreddit r/teenagers on August 22, the boy received an overwhelming response from both disturbed and outraged Reddit users, who were all too quick to share their opinions and bold advice. 

With the post amassing over 10,000 likes and almost 1,800 comments, people recommended that the 15-year-old make alternative housing arrangements rather than live in a ‘prison.’

The boy – known as u/9bow67 on the social site – explained that up until he was given the demanding list, he was living with his grandmother, but moved out due to a stressful environment.

He further explained that his father, who has diabetes and is being cared for by the stepmom, offered to have the boy stay at the family home, which was then limited to two days a week by the woman. 

He also claimed that the stepmother – who hasn’t been named – had previously kicked out his ‘whole family’ when he was ten years old, in which he described as a ‘slap in the face.’ 

Now that he has moved back into the home shared by his dad and stepmom, the anxious teenager has now been handed an extensive list of rules to follow, and fears he will be kicked out if he steps out of line. 

In the A4 paper print-out, the stepmother wrote: ‘I did not approve of anyone staying over but your dad wanted you to come over.

‘I am not going going to give second or third chances. The moment I see something wrong you are out of here.’

‘I am not your mom or stepmom that is going to let you do things you want here like you do at grandma’s place. You are staying under my roof so there are things I don’t like to see.

‘It will stress you out and make you more depressed. You will need to have a thick skin staying here. If you are not able to handle things then you need to make a decision.’

A total of eighteen intense rules were then listed by the stepmom, beginning with: ‘I don’t like people who don’t respect other people’s rules when they are staying over.’

Other shocking demands listed by the woman include: ‘I don’t want to see an ugly attitude and a frown face’ and ‘I don’t want to hear loud voices when you are talking on your phone or watching TV.’

The stepmother then prohibited the boy from participating in extra curricular activities and hobbies within the household.

She wrote: ‘There will be no playing games on your computer. The computer is for homework use only and will be turned off when homework is completed.

‘I do not allow kids under 18 to cook. I don’t want to be responsible for accidents or injury or clean up your mess.’  

Insisting that the teenager needs to have his cell phone put away by 8:30PM and in bed by 9:00PM, the stepmother states she does not want to see or hear a ‘cry baby.’ 

On Fridays, the adolescent is ordered to stay at his grandmother’s house as the stepmother does not ‘want anyone over the weekend’ as she needs ‘time to clean up and relax.’

She ends the spiraling list with a painstaking: ‘More rules to go over after we go over these ones.’ 

Concerned commenters expressed empathy for the teen, appalled by the frosty and dismissive behaviour exhibited by his stepmother. 

One user wrote, ‘This is the actual fun police,’ while another said: ‘You’re sharing you roof with a psychopath homie.’

A person advised; ‘Get the f**k outta here, express your displeasure to the fullest degree, that isn’t a home it’s a prison,’ to which someone responded, ‘Nah, even prisoners are better treated than this.’

Another user pointed out the content within the list, writing: ‘There is no way she is humane.’

Two individuals jokingly advised that the teen take immediate action, with one saying: ‘Burn the paper in front of her.’ 

The other recommended a ‘malicious compliance’ tactic, saying: ‘Rule 3 – Maintain an over the top horrific clown smile at all times. It will bother her faster than a frown. It’s easier to maintain when you’re doing it out of spite.’ 

A Louisana woman was also left stunned in 2021 after she discovered her boyfriend’s mother has a ‘scary’ list of rules for dating her son, including not turning up to the house ‘looking like a stripper.’
