24-year-old moves in with extended family to learn independence, complains to mom when aunt refuses to pick him up early from a party with his cousins: 'If he couldn't handle being there, he could take a train'

The protagonist of this story found himself as the main character precisely because of his perceived inability to do almost anything for himself, despite being 24 years old. He recently moved in with his grandparents after living with his mom, in a bid to learn how to be more independent.

After a month of this arrangement, his aunt and cousins were already growing tired of the demand of his living nearby. He constantly tried to hitch rides with them instead of finding alternative transportation. However, his cousins still invited him to a party with some friends, and he agreed.

The man quickly decided that he did not want to be at the party when he got there, and tried to get his aunt to pick him up. She told him he would have to wait for his cousins if he wasn't willing to get an Uber or take the train. He told his mom about the incident, and she felt she was being unfair. The aunt wanted a second opinion.
