Question

getting my own room
for my entire life, i have always remembered my apartment being small and crowded. my mom worked third shift, meaning she worked at night while we were sleeping. so, my aunt had to come over and help us get ready for bed. mom had to work third shift because she needed money to pay the rent but couldnt find any jobs during the day. the only apartment we could afford was a one - bedroom apartment. so, i shared a room with my mom and my baby brother. i didnt mind it. its how ive grown up my entire life.
mom came home from work yesterday with a big surprise. she told us that she saved up enough money to move onto another floor. at first, i was not excited. thinking about packing up my boxes to move in the same building seemed like a lot of work. however, mom then told me it was a bigger apartment. this apartment had two bedrooms and she told me that i would get my very own room. mom even told me that i could pick the paint color and help paint the walls. i have never hated being close to my mom and brother all the time, but just thinking about having my own special room all to myself filled me with joy and excitement. i cant wait to start moving to our new, bigger apartment.

Explanation:

Sub - question 1: Why does the character's aunt have to help?

From the text, the character's mom works third shift (at night when the kids are sleeping). So, the aunt has to come over to help the kids get ready for bed since the mom is at work during that time.

The text says "I didn't mind it. It's how I've grown up my entire life." This shows that the character was okay with the old one - bedroom apartment as it was the only home they had known while growing up.

At first, when the mom said they were moving to another floor in the same building, the character was not excited because they thought packing would be a lot of work. But when the mom revealed it was a bigger apartment with two bedrooms and the character would get their own room (and could pick the paint color and help paint), the character felt joy and excitement about the new apartment.

Answer:

The character's mom works third shift (at night while the kids are sleeping) to earn money for rent, so the aunt has to help the kids get ready for bed.
