No way can I walk around on hard wood floor or tile floor or even carpet with only slippers on.

Sorry you’re so unfit. Get some indoor shoes, or work on strengthening and flexibility. 40 is young to be having these issues.

1. Your mom is now in her mid to late 60s. Shoes are gross and messy, maybe she’s not able to clean up after that any more.
2. I’m Canadian, so maybe I don’t get the American thing about wearing shoes in houses. Taking your shoes off for 6 hours is really minor, and not indicative of any trauma in your life.
3. I have a friend who does need to wear shoes all the time as she had polio as a child. She has indoor shoes.
4. I’m overlap
Ing feelings regarding if you’re just a annoying and self Center jerk or a bad troll

Would you generally ignore people's instructions about shoes in their house? This isn't that different, although I get that it can be upsetting to see your childhood home evolve esp with a new person. Also , Unless they are married but living separaetly, it's also his house.

NP. My heart actually aches for your mom.

Why did you lie in your opening post about being happy she's happy?

When your parent marries, you have to make compromises and accept changes. Welcome to being an adult stepchild!

What? No, you do not have to accept changes. He can accept that people wear shoes in the house that they have been wearing shoes in for the last 4 decades!

You can take your shoes off, or you can stay home alone. It's up to you. You sound like a brat.

OP stole the party and now all her sibs are supposedly having Thanksgiving dinner at hers, snubbing her mother.

No. If this is the house OP grew up in then OP can do what she likes. It is her house as much as the Mothers. I do think you have to bring it up to her though. The whole concept is stupid.

No it is her mother’s house and it was never her house. My mom can change anything she wants in her house. I grew up there but I never owned any part of it though one day will. I have my own home and I make the rules and changes I want.

I find it odd that he would do this. You'd think he would read the room and go with the flow.

I hope your mom is safe OP

<hugs>

Just because OP acts like a child doesn't mean she still lives with her mom.

Dude, stepchild infers a parental relationship. Use a different phrase.

TIL I'm a real estate millionaire!! I own every property I ever lived in, even if I didn't pay mortgage or rent!

Ok you should boycott. Losing your shoes is just the start of your problems.
