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

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
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
Today, after my husband yet again failed to complete his To-Do list, I took away his Xbox and PlayStation and told him he could have them back once the list was done. He stared at me and said, "No. You're not my mother. Give them back and we will talk like adults." FML
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
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, my son had a screaming meltdown because I told him to clean his own room and that I refuse to be treated like his personal maid. He’s 16. 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. FML
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, my son rejected a job offer because it interferes with the streaming schedule of some Twitch dirtbag. He's 19. FML

What a waste of a life. But if he looked for a job, he could probably get one working with a video game company. This way, he can do what he loves and get paid for it.

Better get a good paying job and start saving money (if you aren't already), cause you're going to learn that being out on your own is hard.
AliciaicilA 0
Your kid(s) prolly wouldn't want to live with you anyways, seeing that you don't actually want them. js that's kinda opposite the whole point of being a PARENT.
Poro_fml 12
No, my parents had me move out to go to college when I was 18. They didn't let me go to the one by our house. I'm kinda grateful for it - it's been a great experience.

Congratulations! You created a useless human being! Great parenting. Look on the bright side: my son is going to need low-skilled idiots to hire for manual labor at minimum wage, so thanks for contributing to the labor pool.

the real failure is the mom for not growing a pair and kicking her son out of the house like she should've done 20 years ago.

Before Black Ops guy: Modern Warfare 2 is a good game. N00b: Are you crazy? After Black Ops guy: Modern Warfare 2 is a good game N00b: I agree.
KiddNYC1O 20
Agree with n00b. Anybody want to buy my ps3 copy of black ops? It's starting to pick up dust......
ColtPlaya 0
Too bad they dropped the ball on every call of duty past 4. Mw2 had more exploits than a poorly coded sega game. Black ops is hardly different exept for zombies which is always fun.
CitrusGirl 0
It'll be picking up even more dust now that the psn got hacked. I used to be neutral before that happened, but now I'm glad I bought a 360 instead.
A7X_LoVeee 10
MW2 is ******* terrible lol. Worst COD IMO.
CitrusGirl 0
Have you played the old CODs? They're bad. If you're saying that it's bad compared to the games of it's time that makes sense. But compared to old CODs it's really good.

ps3 - lame wii - gay Xbox is the shit, nuff' said!

360 sucks and all the real hardcore gamers are on xbox cause ps3 players have lives

then suggest he needs a job and a boyfriend. you need to do something about this. sell the game console if you have to.
ElGranOrgo 0
he'd probably kill her
Daerauko 0
it's time to stop allowing his problem to persist. make his life hell til he moves out... or just straight up kick him out.

well if she payed for the xbox she can sell it if he bought it, it's his property.
