Woman Called 'Selfish' After She Won't Let Mom, Stepdad and Siblings Stay in Her College Apartment
'I told them they should find an Airbnb if they want to visit,' the woman wrote in a Reddit post A woman seeks advice from the Reddit community after refusing to let her family stay in her apartment while her roommates are away. In a post shared on the popular AITA subreddit, the 20-year-old college student questions if she's in the wrong for not offering up her space. "I'm (20f) in college and I rent an apartment with two of my friends (20f) who are in a relationship," she writes in her post, explaining the living arrangement. "So our apartment is two bedrooms and it works for us." Both her roommates recently informed her they were heading home to visit their families "for a few weeks" and told her they would be okay if she had people over. When her mom found out the apartment would be mostly empty, she immediately asked to come stay with her husband and the poster's two half-siblings. However, the poster is uncomfortable with her family staying in the small space. "I told mom there wasn't enough space for everyone and she said I'm used to sharing with my half siblings and could do it again," she shares. That suggestion quickly triggered memories of her childhood living situation. When she lived at home, she was forced to share a bedroom with her half-siblings, who are 11 and 13 years younger than her, respectively. "We only had a two bedroom house and mom said it wasn't a priority to get me a new room," she explains, adding, "I hated it." In fact, part of the reason she avoids visiting home is that she'd still be expected to share a room with the kids. "That drives my mom crazy so she said they can come to stay since I won't," she writes. "I told her it doesn't take care of the sharing a room problem." Even with her roommates gone, she still doesn't feel comfortable cramming her family into the space, especially since the setup hasn't changed from what she grew up with. "She said it's no big deal and I said it is and it always was, she just never cared." Her mother accused her of being "selfish," insisting that the family is making an effort by choosing to visit her and "taking time out of their summer to come see me." Despite the pressure, she stands firm and suggests that her mom look into other options. "I told them they should find an Airbnb if they want to visit but mom said no," she writes. Her stepfather then chimed in, claiming the poster "benefitted from them so the least I could do is provide accommodation for free." Over the past four weeks, the topic continues to come up with no sign of resolution. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Her mom tries to appeal to her emotionally, saying the younger siblings miss her and are confused about why she never comes home. "She told me she misses her first baby and can't understand me pulling away like I have," she adds. But for the young woman, it all comes back to how she felt growing up. "There's just no way I want to share with two kids and one of them is my half brother which always made it more awkward to me," she writes. As she continues to face guilt and pressure from her family, she turns to Reddit to ask if she's truly being unreasonable. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Nagal returns to Davis Cup fold after 2 yrs, Yuki comes back
New Delhi: India's top singles player Sumit Nagal on Friday returned to the Davis Cup squad after a two-year absence while number one doubles player Yuki Bhambri also made a comeback to the national fold after missing two ties as the AITA selection panel picked an eight-member squad for the away match against Switzerland. India will travel to the city of Biel for the World Group I first-round tie, which will be played on indoor courts from September 12. Nagal's last appearance was the home tie against Morocco in Lucknow in September 2023 where he won both his singles matches in India's 4-1 win. He did not travel to Pakistan for the historic tie in February 2024 and also missed the subsequent matches against Sweden and Togo. Nagal has dropped outside the top-300 bracket due to lack of form and unfavourable results this season. A semifinal finish at the Trieste Challenger in Italy this month has been his best showing this season. Apart from Nagal (ranked 306), India chose singles players in Karan Singh (403) and young Aryan Shah (442). Sasikumar Mukund (463) and talented Dakshineshwar Suresh (790) will be the reserve singles players for the tie. Top-ranked Bhambri (ranked 35), and N Sriram Balaji (75) are the doubles players chosen in the squad which will have Rithvik Bollipalli (77) as reserve. Bhambri had travelled to Pakistan and contributed to the team's 4-0 win against the hosts in Islamabad but has not featured in the national team since then. The tie will be played on the indoor courts, which are likely to be fast. Nagal's game is best suited for slower courts. 'Sumit Nagal had a great journey to top-100. He plays at a high level, he can make those adjustments. It's not going to be easy. In the Denmark tie against Holger Rune, it was a tight have to see what kind of bounce the court offers,' India skipper Rohit Rajpal told PTI. Asked about Dakshineshwar's inclusion ahead of a few higher-ranked players, Rajpal said, 'We have been studying his game for some time. His hard court game is good. He is 6'5' and has a big serve, and this is going to be an asset on fast indoors courts. I think, he has a crucial role to play in this tie. 'We will have practice matches and pick the final team on form, fitness and match sharpness,' he added. Rajpal also informed that young Manas Dhamne was available for selection only if he was in the playing squad. 'I don't like these conditions but he has a bright future and this time we have accepted his decision. He wants to up his ranking by playing tournaments.' It will be interesting to see Switzerland's line-up. They had lost to Spain 1-3 in the Davis Cup qualifiers. Jerome Kym is their highest-ranked singles player at number 145, followed by Stan Wawrinka (156), Marc-Andrea Huesler (170) and Dominic Stricker (205). Rajpal said rankings do not reflect the right picture of the European players.

Sumit Nagal Returns To Davis Cup Fold After 2 Years, Ramkumar Ramanathan Dropped
India's top singles player Sumit Nagal on Friday returned to the Davis Cup squad after a two-year absence while number one doubles player Yuki Bhambri also made a comeback to the national fold after missing two ties as the AITA selection panel picked an eight-member squad for the away match against Switzerland. India will travel to the city of Biel for the World Group I first-round tie, which will be played on indoor courts from September 12. Nagal's last appearance was the home tie against Morocco in Lucknow in September 2023 where he won both his singles matches in India's 4-1 win.

Sasikumar Mukund (463) and talented Dakshineshwar Suresh (790) will be the reserve singles players for the tie. Top-ranked Bhambri (ranked 35), and N Sriram Balaji (75) are the doubles players chosen in the squad which will have Rithvik Bollipalli (77) as reserve. Bhambri had travelled to Pakistan and contributed to the team's 4-0 win against the hosts in Islamabad but has not featured in the national team since then.

Jerome Kym is their highest-ranked singles player at number 145, followed by Stan Wawrinka (156), Marc-Andrea Huesler (170) and Dominic Stricker (205). Rajpal said rankings do not reflect the right picture of the European players. "In Europe, they do not play many tournaments so their ranking is not high but they can easily beat the top-100 players. It's going to be a tough tie. The Indian team is going through a transition phase and we need to develop players for the future." It may be mentioned that all tennis players receiving funds under various government schemes had given an undertaking that they will make themselves available for national duty. The selection committee led by former Davis Cup coach Nandan Bal dropped Ramkumar Ramanathan from the squad. His axing was expected since the 30-year-old has been struggling on the Tour this season. Ramkumar is one player who can smoothly switch from singles to doubles and vice versa but his form has not been encouraging as he is even struggling to enter the main draws of the singles events on the Challenger Circuit. HEAD-TO-HEAD ========= India have competed against Switzerland thrice, emerging winners twice. The last time the two sides competed was way back in 1993 when hosts India edged Switzerland 3-2 on the grass courts of the Calcutta South Club. The winning team will compete in the 2026 Davis Cup Qualifiers while the losing nation will get back to the World Group I Play-offs next year. Davis Cup Squad: Singles: Sumit Nagal, Karan Singh and Aryan Shah. Doubles: Yuki Bhambri and N Sriram Balaji.

Sumit Nagal Back In Action For India! Rejoins Davis Cup Squad For Swiss Tie
Last Updated: Sumit Nagal returns to India's Davis Cup team after two years, joining Yuki Bhambri for the World Group I tie against Switzerland in Biel. India's top-ranked singles player Sumit Nagal has made a return to the national team after a two-year hiatus, while leading doubles specialist Yuki Bhambri is also back in the fold as the All India Tennis Association (AITA) on Friday announced an eight-member squad for the upcoming Davis Cup tie against Switzerland. The World Group I first-round clash will be held in the Swiss city of Biel from September 12, on indoor hard courts. Nagal Back After Two-Year Gap Nagal last represented India in the Davis Cup during the home tie against Morocco in Lucknow in September 2023, where he won both his singles matches to help secure a 4–1 victory. Since then, he missed the landmark away tie in Pakistan in February 2024, along with subsequent matches against Sweden and Togo. Despite a dip in form and ranking—he is currently placed at No. 306—Nagal showed signs of resurgence with a semifinal run at the Trieste Challenger in Italy earlier this month. Joining Nagal in the singles line-up are Karan Singh (ranked 403) and promising youngster Aryan Shah (ranked 442). The reserves for singles are Sasikumar Mukund (463) and Dakshineshwar Suresh (790). In doubles, Bhambri (ranked 35) and N Sriram Balaji (75) have been selected as the main pair, with Rithvik Bollipalli (77) named as reserve. Bhambri last represented India in their historic 4–0 win over Pakistan in Islamabad but missed the next two ties. Indoor Surface Poses Challenge The indoor surface in Biel is expected to be fast, which may not suit Nagal's game, traditionally better on slower courts. However, India's Davis Cup captain Rohit Rajpal expressed confidence in Nagal's adaptability. 'Sumit Nagal had a great journey to the top 100. He plays at a high level, and he can make those adjustments. It's not going to be easy. In the Denmark tie against Holger Rune, it was a tight match. We have to see what kind of bounce the court offers," Rajpal told PTI. The final playing squad will be determined based on form, fitness, and match sharpness during practice sessions leading up to the tie. Switzerland, who lost 1–3 to Spain in the recent Davis Cup qualifiers, are expected to field a strong team. Their top-ranked singles player is Jerome Kym (145), followed by veterans Stan Wawrinka (156), Marc-Andrea Huesler (170), and Dominic Stricker (205). Veteran player Ramkumar Ramanathan has been omitted from the squad—a move widely anticipated due to his recent struggles. Once valued for his ability to switch between singles and doubles, Ramkumar has found it difficult to qualify for singles main draws even at the Challenger level.

Nagal, Yuki in Indian team for Davis Cup tie against Switzerland
The top-three players, Sumit Nagal, Karan Singh and Aryan Shah, have been selected to play the singles matches in the Davis Cup World Group-1 tie to be staged on indoor hard courts in Switzerland on September 12 and 13. All the players were available for selection this time, and Yuki Bhambri and Sriram Balaji will feature in the doubles. The selection committee of the All India Tennis Association (AITA), which met under the chairmanship of Nandan Bal, also announced three reserve players — Dhakshineswar Suresh, S. Mukund and Rithvik Bollipalli. Rohit Rajpal and Ashutosh Singh will be the captain and coach respectively. India has a 2-1 win-loss record against Switzerland, and has beaten it both at home and away. The two teams met the last time in 1993 on the grass courts of South Club in Kolkata, when Ramesh Krishnan and Leander Paes helped the team win the tie 3-2. The two won their singles matches against Jakob Hlasek, and won the doubles in five sets against Hlasek and Marc Rosset. The Barcelona Olympics gold medallist Rosset won both his singles matches then. The current Switzerland team, which lost the first round of qualifier to Spain, is expected to be selected from Jerome Kym (145), Marc-Andrea Huesler (170), Dominic Stricker (205), Mika Brunold (300), Alexander Ritschard (314), Jakub Paul (350) and Remy Bertola (352). Nagal has slipped to a rank of 306, while Karan and Aryan are ranked 403 and 442 respectively. Yuki is the highest ranked Indian doubles player at 35, and Balaji is at 75, two places above Rithvik.
