AITA for refusing to give my parents my location after they stopped paying for my tuition?
I [19F] am a sophomore in college. Until last semester my parents were paying for about 3/4 of my tuition and my housing. However they insisted I used the Life360 app showing my location to them at all times. It wasnt optimal but I figured its up to them since theyre paying for me.
Over the holidays however my dad and I had a huge argument because I changed my major from Biology to Nursing. He told me I was throwing away a bigger opportunity but I feel like i can help more people this way.
Since then Ive had to start working two jobs and take out multiple student loans. I pay for everything now, my parents give me $0.
Anyways, last weekend I went on a roadtrip to another state and my mom started texting me non stop, demanding to know why i was in another state. I had forgotten about the tracking app at this point. I realised thats how they knew and I just deleted the app.
Then came the calls from both my parents, both of them saying how dangerous it is for me to not be tracked by them all the time. I told them Im paying for my own life now, i value my privacy and I dont feel comfortable with the app.
This has really infuriated my dad and upset my mom because she thinks Im trying to cut them off completely or something.
They said if I dont turn it back on, that Im not welcome at Thanksgiving this year.
AITA?
