AITA for "mentally scarring my younger sister"?


Throwaway because my older brother is also on reddit and he's completely in mums pocket and she'll flip if she knows I posted this.I don't see who I could ask irl about this without it getting back to my parents, so voila, internet strangers.Some background, I(19f) live at home with my mom and step dad(although I will just refer to him as dad as he pretty much is and I don't have contact with my real father) and half sister(5yo). Half sister and I have separate bedrooms and ive been vocal about her not going into my room because a. I pay rent+bills(not a huge amount but just a nominal value to show i respect my parents) and b. She has repeatedly broken my things including mp3 players, gaming consoles, cds, etc. I have a semi popular tiktok account where I post videos of myself/friends dancing to music.So a couple weeks ago I was out at a tutoring session(I tutor kids at my old school as a part time job to save for uni) and my mum and dad had a zoom chat about a house they were looking at buying. My sister was amped up for some reason and playing "zoomies" around the house with the dog(basically just sprinting from room to room whilst screaming). Obviously this wasn't working for my parents who put her in her room, problem is that her room is right next to the study where they were so her (apparently) monumental hissy fit could be heard.Dad offered for her to sit in my room(on the other side of the house) with an ice cream if it would keep her quiet. This appeared to work until after my parents hour long call they realised that the house was too quiet and went to check on her only to find she was listening to music on my desktop computer(I stupidly had left it on since I didn't expect to be our so long and it has no password since no one is supposed to be in my room). The second problem is that I had WAP cued up to play on YT so I could practice the dance for it. In the hour that she'd been alone she'd gone through a whole bunch of YT videos on autoplay from WAP to anaconda.I got home and my parents flipped their shit that I had this stuff on my private computer. Now I'm grounded but im also refusing to pay the rent that I owe because she dropped ice cream all over my keyboard and all the keys are stuck down so now I need to replace it. My parents says this is justice so now we're in a stalemate. Reddit strangers, AITA here?(Sorry for any formatting issues, im writing this on my phone because of above mentioned keyboard issues) via /r/AmItheAsshole https://ift.tt/33qPw4G
