Family: Freeloadin' freewheelin'

Freeloadin' freewheelin'

By Anonymous - 26/02/2022 04:00

Today, my screw-up brother turned up at my house, expecting to move in rent free. Apparently, mom kicked him out and sent him to me. He's a freeloading demon, who's almost impossible to get rid of, so I told him to get lost and locked my door. Now my mom calls every 5 minutes to call me a selfish asshole. FML

Stay out of my life

Today, my mom tried to worm her way back into my life by manipulating my brother into doing the dirty work for her. I pretended to swallow the bullshit and invited her over, just so I could slam the door in her face. My brother says I went too far, like he somehow forgot what a shit mom she was. FML

Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML

Today, I came home to found all of my belongings out on the street. My roommate, who is also my brother, apparantly neglected to pay his part of the rent, and we got evicted. FML

Today, my mom chewed me out, because my brother has been complaining to her that I don't talk to him anymore since moving out. We've never talked much, even when we were sharing a place! FML

Bitch better have my money

Today, after I started living with siblings to save money during pandemic, one of them has struggled to pay rent and after 2 years now owes me $10,000, which I will likely never see. I told him this is an unfair living situation, and will not be extending the lease. Now he's acting like a victim and treating me like an asshole. FML

Today, after my aunt died and left me everything, I found my heroin addict brother searching my house, demanding his share of the money. He thought I had it in cash, so I called the cops. Now our mom is mad at me because a good brother would have given him something. FML

Today, I was talking to my mom about how my fiancé has been ignoring me and that I didn't know why. Turns out, my mother told him that I was too much of a handful, was mentally disturbed and also cheating on him. Just so I wouldn't move out and would keep cleaning her house for free. FML

Why mother, why?

Today, my mother yet again chose to put my brother's junkie of an ex-girlfriend's needs and happiness above mine, despite the fact that she's stolen thousands of dollars and anything else of value from my mom's house. FML

Roommates from hell

By Anonymous - 08/03/2021 08:01

Today, my brother and I were nearly made homeless by a good friend and roommate, because after repeatedly leading on my brother, and admitting she’s disrespected me all along, she and her boyfriend took off suddenly without a word of notice, leaving us to a house we can't afford alone. FML

Today, I found out my junkie brother broke into my home, and stole mine AND my children's belongings whilst we were on holiday. I rang my mother to vent, only for her to blatantly defend him and insist I got it wrong. We caught him on camera, and now I'm being scolded for even thinking he would do such a thing. FML

Don't let your mom guilt trip you. If she won't stop calling, block her number. If your brother won't leave, trespass him and call the cops. Since your mom technically illegally evicted him, the cops may just take him back to her.

Let your brother live with you. After he signs a formal lease, agrees to pay rent or be evicted if he fails.

My dumb what? It's not really a harmful sting being called dumb by someone who doesn't know "your" from "you're." Of course it will work. You'll appear to be giving your brother a chance, and get rid of him when he inevitably fails.

Except getting rid of him will be a legal nightmare in itself. If you think it's a great idea, promise OP you'll pay for food, utilities and cleaning services when the brother trashes the place, empties the fridge, and runs up the water/power/Internet usage. THEN, you can also pay the legal fees when Bad Bro defaults on the rent, claims tenant's rights, and lengthens his stay for another 2-3 MONTHS while the courts get involved to legally evict him. I'm sure OP will take Zelle or Paypal.

Start calling her every 2-3 minutes calling her a selfish asshole, assuming you don't mind burning bridges. I'd say her kicking him out is worse than you not letting him stay with you anyways.

Personally I'd help my Bro no questions asked, but your life/house you're choice. Sounds like you're in a privileged position to give aid to your kin, what you do with that privilege says a lot. So what do you want to say?

Each family is different. In order to convince my brother to move with us from a big city to a house I bought in the south, I told him he can live rent free, and I intend to allow him to do so. When I was in college, he and my mom didn't require me to pay rent and all I did was pay the TV & internet bills. I don't want us all to leave him there alone because the city is super expensive. My uncle will take over rent for the place we're leaving in the city and I'm hoping my brother doesn't ask him if he can stay and they split the rent... either way, here's to hoping he decides to leave renting in the big city and move to a large house with no rent and free living. His expenses would go up splitting things in half with my uncle.
