Party at YOUR house?

Kids and teens these days...

Dunno but I really get irritated hearing 13-year olds or people below legal age who proudly say in their conversations this phrase: "at MY house."
"Party at my house!"
"Feeling bored...anybody wanna hang out in my house?"
"I may not be able to join you after class, let's just do the project at my house tonight."
 Huh? Your house? Really? These people who may have something like a future inheritance or these kids who live with their rich families...brats whose moms or dads are bigwigs? Call me old or too sensitive but it really bothers me how these people who are ONLY LIVING WITH their rich families claim THEIR abodes as if they have those houses' titles under their names.


It could be the influence of foreign movie or TV show lines. Could be some American kid who introduced the phrase here. Really, just the arrogant way of mentioning the words MY and HOUSE together by someone who doesn't actually own a house yet makes my blood boil.

Is that an idiom of sorts? A common Westerner kid expression maybe? I have no idea but I am sure I can understand basic English. MY is a possessive pronoun one uses to stick some claim on something. It is different from OUR which connotes the ownership of something by multiple persons, legal or artificial, solidarily or jointly. While it can be argued that the expression "my house" by someone who may be a part-owner or future part-owner or inheritor of such house can be valid, for me it is still unacceptable. Suppose this "my house kolehiyala" is the only child, 17 years young, of a rich and famous couple and she is quite certain to inherit the wealth of her family, does she have the document or title to prove that the house belongs to her? Does the law allow the transfer of properties to minors? Does this girl know what she's talking about? Are we talking about shares of stocks here? A stockholder is a part-owner of a corporation so it may be technically correct for that stockholder to say "my company" since ownership is clearly present in his or her acquisition of shares of stocks, especially in the case of major shareholders who are known to be the faces and names of their corporations. A family's house on the other hand is a different property. And unless, you're some PNoy cabinet secretary I know whose house is technically recorded as one owned by a corporation, the "my house" claim may not apply.

Yeah, right.... I am just whining. This Filipino is whining about how the younger generation of his promise-nothing-fulfilled-land is turning Western and somehow clueless. My house daw o....
