Geek: Today, I once again told my son he needed a job and a girlfriend...

By oldmama728 - 28/04/2011 11:07

Today, I once again told my son he needed a job and a girlfriend because I simply could not keep him in my house anymore. He yelled, "No, I can do whatever I want!" Then went back to playing video games. He's 38. FML

Today, despite the fact that I've lived alone for four years, and have a well-paid job, my father is still whining about, "Why am I still playing video games at age 32?" FML

I'm a rebel, mom!

By SheenaL - 27/06/2011 06:26 - United States

Today, my son is going through a rebellious phase. He's taken to wearing leather and chains, listening to death metal music all day in his room alone, and screaming at me in public places. He was fired from his part-time job for swearing at customers. My son is 29 years old. FML

Sounds like he's got it all figured out

Today, my son apparently has no interest in having a life. He goes from his tiny one-bed flat to work, then back home again to play with his computer. It’s a good job, so he can afford a life, but he has no friends, never dates or goes anywhere, he even gets his shopping delivered. What can I do? FML

Today, I found out my son has been sneaking out of his room at night to see his girlfriend. He's a fully-grown 23-year-old man with a job and his own car. He doesn't need to sneak out. What an idiot. FML

Today, in response to the guy whose son told him to fuck off for disturbing his one day off a week, my son spent literally his entire savings account for a deposit on a shitbox one bedroom house because he’s sick of his dad finding him things to do every ten minutes, and I don’t even blame him.

Today, my son screamed at me to fuck off. Apparently, because he only gets one day off a week, he’s sick of me saving up all my projects and forcing him to help me on that one day. He’s now barricaded himself in his room with a big DO IT YOURSELF on the door. FML

Today, my son told me he's had 5 boyfriends and is currently working to improve himself before getting into another relationship. When I was his age, I was still single. My son has more game than I do. FML

Today, I told my 21 year-old son he either has to break up with his girlfriend, who fills his head with lies about me, or I'd stop speaking to him. He laughed and said he'd fine with us not speaking ever again. FML

YDI for letting it get that far. Just throw his stuff out and change the locks. The guy is 38 for ****'s sake.

Kick him out on his ass and tell him to make the money he earns on those video games to support himself.

While I think this is completely ****** up, I have to say YDI, OP. You raised him. He is entirely a product of your parenting. You are the only one to blame. Thanks for raising someone who's a waste of space and resources. Our overpopulated planet really needs people like you and your son. (for the thick, this was sarcasm)

YDI it, seriously, you've had like 18 years to teach him to get a job and move out. Hell, at 25 you shoulda kicked him out on his ass.

lol. Make his life as miserable as you can. Throw out his stuff, or something. It shouldn't be that hard to get rid of him. If you're afraid to hurt his feelings you better get over that now, OP.
