I'm a 19 year old man, sort of still living at home (I stay with my grandparents whenever I've got work the next day as it's easier to get to work from there). Tonight I'm at my grandparents.
On Saturday night me, my brother and his girlfriend (both 15) had the house to ourselves so I ordered us a Chinese. We ate in the lounge, on the sofa. On Sunday, when my parents came home my stepdad noticed a few grains of rice on the sofa my brother's girlfriend was sat on. He said to me "I see you've been eating on the lounge, if you're going to do that can you at least try and get the food in your mouth and not on the sofa?" I muttered very quietly that it wasn't me that was sat there but he didn't give me any eye contact, didn't say anything else and simply just walked away, so I assumed he didn't hear me so I got out of my seat to follow him and then changed my mind and decided to just take the blame for it as it was less hassle, so I sat down again.
Anyway this morning my mum asked me to come and meet her, pick my siblings up and take them to school for her. No problem, happy to help. I sat in the car with her after taking them in and she said that he had been complaining to her that he found food on the sofa so I told her that it was my brother's girlfriend that was sat there but I chose to take the blame as it was less hassle. It actually turns out that my stepdad DID hear what I said and he was just being ignorant, so obviously he was quite confused when my mum told him that I chose to take the blame. So I had a text from my mum calling me a liar and that she's fed up with having to protect and defend her first three (she had us before she met him) to him. Obviously, when I told my mum that I took the blame for the whole thing, I thought I was telling the truth. I told her that if she doesn't want to protect me then I'd rather she didn't, simple as that. It's a few grains of rice on the sofa, why does it matter?! That's what baffles me the most
