Today, I moved back in with my parents in order to help them with the mortgage, so they don't lose the house that has been in our family for three generations. I also found out that I now have a curfew, and so does my husband and our 3 year old son. FML

Today, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML

Today, after months of telling my parents I was going to live on my own, I finally moved out. Not even 24 hours being out of their house, some reject burned down the apartment complex I live in. Guess who's moving back home. FML

Today, after several long years, a lot of debt, and two great degrees from a top university, I had to move back in with my parents, because no matter where I look, I can't find a job. FML

Today, I called my wife to tell her I finally found a job after 6 months. A man answered the phone claiming to be the cable guy. We cut our cable off when I was laid off 6 months ago. FML

Today, I moved back home because I got laid off and could no longer afford my apartment. I decided to take a nap and when I woke up I overheard my Mom telling my Aunt that she used to be so proud of me and wonders when I became such a loser. Burn. FML

Today, I'm being evicted from my apartment for not paying rent. My father is the on-site landlord, meaning I now have to move my stuff downstairs into his place, and hear every day how I'm a failure. FML

The cable guy

By fmerunning - 29/06/2009 00:44 - United States

Today, the cable repairman came to fix my cable, which has never worked well. The entire time he was talking about how much extra money he got the "fat bitch who moved here 6 months ago" to pay for her cable. I moved in 6 months ago. I was pregnant. FML

It's okay to have money problems.My sister moved back in with my parents after traveling the world and going to college because she is now $100,000 in debt and needs to start paying it off. It happens.

Depends on the reason he's moving back in Maybe he's just staying for a month or two till he gets set up. As far as we know he's only like 19 lol.

Definitely. That cable guy has probably visited more evictions/foreclosures in the past year than he can even count. OP's case isn't so special.

It seems weird that the cable guy would actually demand an explanation from you... Maybe you didn't "have to" admit it... maybe you did so voluntarily looking for a little sympathy. Unfortunately, I don't think the cable guy cares.

They ask where you're moving so they can try to transfer service, rather than cancelling it and losing a customer. OP could've lied or been vague, but they can be pretty persistent about such things.

YDI for having to admit to everyone, including your cable guy, that you're moving back in with your parents.

$100K?! I hope most of that is student loan debt. I'm all for travelling as much as possible, but not to the point that you doom yourself to paying for it for decades afterward. IME, it's hard to get rid of itchy feet after you've travelled; it would suck to be too in debt to continue doing it.
