I (21M) temporarily live with my father (45M). I’m a college student, and during the summer I usually move back with one of my family members because my homestay lease is not valid during the summer vacation.

I always work during the summer, and this year I work in a restaurant as a waiter. Let’s just say it’s not going well at all, long story short I’m quiet quitting. My father is aware of how bad it is - although he doesn’t know about my decision.

I have one day and a half off every week, and on the night before my half day off my father expects me to go to sleep at 11:30PM. I already explained he’s being unreasonable because I’m usually still at work at this time (on top of being an adult in my 20’s but he doesn’t care about that), but since he does it because he wakes up at 6:30AM for work he expects me to do it too.

He claims that the light from my room prevents him from sleeping, so I tried closing my door and put black clothing around it to prevent any light from possibly coming through. Well, last night he checked up on me and saw that I wasn’t sleeping (obviously) and just said: “Very well. Since you obviously don’t care about what I tell you, I’m waking you up at 6:30AM tomorrow”.

And that’s exactly what he did. He f*cking woke me up. When he saw I opened my eyes he said “This is what you get for not listening to me”. I sleep naked so my sleepyhead self just threw my T-shirt at him and said “Get out, I’m 21 not 12” before facing the wall to try to go back to sleep. Because I did that he hit the back of my head before leaving the house super loudly. When I checked the time it was 6:33AM.

I waited until 10AM to contact my grandma (my mother’s mother) as quietly as I could because my stepmother is working from home in the room next to mine, and she said she’d talk to him. My stepmother is mad at me though, because the commotion woke her up and her usual wake-up time is 8:30AM (for reference mine is 9:45AM all week long). So, AITA?
