Is it normal to share a room with all my family

I live in a very expensive city where rent costs are high. I am a 19yr old girl and live with my two parents and two siblings. Because my bed is basically in the living room (lack of bedroom space) my dad is constantly watching sports until late hours of the night when he knows I have to be up early for work in the morning. Is it normal to start to really hate him because he has no respect for my needs: going to SLEEP at night? There is a tv in the other room but he doesn't watch it in there because the living room tv is "high quality". I've spoken about it before but I have no luck :( Are my feelings justified?

    It's completely selfish and inconsiderate for him to do that. Yeh, it sucks that things are so cramped. That's why everyone has to compromise, and in this situation he easily could watch the other tv - that's such a small concession for him but a big difference to you.

    It's not his fault rentals are so high, but he chose to have a daughter so being slightly considerate of your schedule seems like the least he could do.

    Went through this with more than one college roommate. The annoying, inconsiderate, all about me guys. I dealt with it by, since I was a late-night studier anyway, studying in the main lounge until they went to bed, then, once met my then-gf, who only had a roommate on paper (the girl lived downtown with her bf), more or less staying there every night. Yes, for the obvious reason, but also the peace and quiet. Once we turned the tv or sound system off, that was it. Nobody turning it back on, noise, etc..

    Move the good t.v to his room or whatever.

    At 19 you can move out too.

    It's ok to feel pissed off. That's the way you are compelled to change your situation. It's not ok to wallow in misery and do nothing about it.
