AITA for “performing” in front of the camera my mom forced me to have in my room?

[u/Xtwa]

I'm a 17-year-old guy, and my mom has always been a bit overprotective. Recently, she took it to the next level by insisting on putting a surveillance camera in my room "for my safety." I found it super invasive and uncomfortable, but she wouldn't take no for an answer.

So, in an act of defiance, I decided to jerk off right in front of the camera every day for a week. I figured if she wanted to invade my privacy, she'd have to deal with the consequences. I made sure to look directly into the camera, making it clear that I knew it was there and I didn't care.

After a week, my mom came to me, furious. She had finally watched the footage and saw what I'd been doing. She said she was absolutely disgusted, and yelled at me for being disrespectful and said I was acting like a child. I told her that if she wanted to invade my privacy, she had to be prepared for what she might see. She took the camera down immediately, but now she's giving me the silent treatment and acting like I'm the bad guy.

My dad thinks I went too far, and I think he secretly finds it funny, but he also agrees that having a camera in my room was too much. My sister won’t even talk to me anymore after my mom told her what I had done, but my friends think it's hilarious and say my mom got what she deserved. I'm not sure how to feel. AITA?

Don’t worry it’s fake. Read the exact same story a while ago

I hope it is fake because I would hate to hear about a teenager having some crazy mother filming their 17 year old son in his bedroom. I could understand having like a camera for an infant, like when the baby is first born because new mothers worry a lot about their newborn so they can just look at their phone to look in on the baby and make sure the baby is sleeping and stuff. I knew a girl whose crazy adoptive super religious parents removed the door from her bedroom. When I met her, she had already moved out of their house but it was just such a crazy thing to hear. She ended up moving out at 16 because of it and went to live with her boyfriend. And she did stay with the guy for like 7 years so at least she had someone to turn to for a long time and she worked the whole time she has been on her own and she did pass high school. I am not sure if she went to college as we lost touch but I’m sure she’s doing ok. The best thing she did was get away from these people. They were fine with her leaving because she told them that she didn’t believe in their religion. They told her basically if she didn’t want to be saved, she didn’t need to come back. They were so nuts.

Yes mothers do livestream their infants, it’s called a baby monitor. Haha, sorry I couldn’t help myself.

It’s normal. It can save the mother a trip to the bedroom when they can just check the camera and make sure the baby looks fine. A lot of mothers do this.

[u/A_Pie323 → u/gavinkurt]

No I know it’s normal, I was joking 🙃I felt like you forgot the word for baby monitor. But as I’m sure we both know, that’s completely normal but live streaming a 17 year old is beyond messed up, IF this story is even true

If a parent is putting a camera in a 17 year olds bedroom, that is just too much. The story might not be fake. There are crazy parents out there. I knew a girl who had her bedroom door removed by her crazy religious extremist adoptive parents. She ended leaving by at 16 because of it. She refused to go back to them and lived with her boyfriend that she stayed with for 7 years until they broke up. At least she had somewhere to go and she worked the whole time she had been on her own and did complete high school on time. Her parents were so religious that they didn’t give her an issue leaving because she told them that she didn’t want to be “saved” by Christ. She lived in an orphanage in Russia when she met her future adoptive parents. She told me the orphanage was better than living with her adoptive parents even though the conditions at the orphanage weren’t that great but the orphanage did provide her with a roof over her head, a decent education, food. She even said if she knew that her future adoptive parents were going to be religious extremists who would take her bedroom door, she would have preferred to just stay at the orphanage.
