Today, my mom got a cat. I'm allergic to cats, so I politely asked my mom why she got it. Her response: "I want you to finally want to move out." I turned eighteen two weeks ago. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I told my mom I'm severely allergic to my cat and that the doctor told me it would be best to get rid of the cat. Somewhat jokingly, I told her it was either me or the cat. She chose the cat. She was serious too. FML
Today, after 25 years living with my dad, who is highly allergic to cats, I was finally able to adopt two kittens to live in my new place, just like I have always wanted. Guess who else is highly allergic to cats? Me, it seems. FML
Today, I bought a kitten. I've wanted a cat for years and decided to finally buy one now that I have my own apartment. It turns out I'm allergic to cats. FML
Today, at age eighteen, I finished moving out of my parents' house and into my own. The only person to even remotely give a shit was my sister, and that was only because I was taking the cat with me. FML
Today, to celebrate moving into a new apartment, my girlfriend decided she would get a kitten. She didn't know I'm allergic to cats. When I told her, she decided that she couldn't date someone who couldn't be around her cat; the one she doesn't have yet. FML
Today, my mother refused to buy a cat because my sister is allergic to them. She bought a rabbit instead. I'm allergic to rabbits. FML
Today, my mom gave me thirty days notice to find an apartment and move out. Why? She's dating my former best friend and wants to move him in, but he won't do it until I'm gone because it would be "awkward." FML
Today, my mother-in-law told my husband that I cannot stay in her house unless I can bring proof from a doctor that my allergy to cats is not contagious. FML

Well yeah, but damn thats a very awful way to make her child move out! At least, she could've had the decency to talk to him face to face about it
singer0421 32
Yeah I completely agree with that! Her mom's an ass so she should get out and stay with a friend.

The OP has to find a friend to help until he can get on his feet, but cats always land on their feet. Cats 1 Humans 0

Cats may land on their feet, but we have opposable thumbs. Human 1 Cats 1 You're move cats...

I was going to help the human side, but I realized everything people have done, cats have done, but cuter and more fluffy. Soooooo many cat videos

It has been shown in experiments (conducted by humans with cats), that is actually wrong. Evil Human Scientists: 1 Cats: 0

Despite their partial enslavement of humankind, cats are easily controlled (albeit indirectly) by the remainder of the humans with catnip. Cats 5 Humans 2

agreed, and think about the cat. OP's mom probably just wanted the cat to get OP to move out. She probably doesn't even care about the cat anyway.
kittykat1501 31
yes. poor kitty. OP deserved it. obviously kidding, except about the cat thing.
tehman117 21
sell the cat to a guy who will buy it for $5 and give the cat back $500.
michelleJ11 25
What ...?
tiernang 21
Doc, we need your translator!
PenguinBitch 43
It's simple really. The cat wasn't being lenient when it heard that OP was selling it for 5 bucks. So this user suggest OP should bribe the cat 500. 1) Sell cat for $5 2)Bribe cat $500 to leave 3)????? 4) No, you don't make profit. You make -495 dumbass.

I believe it was a reference to an FML from a LONG time ago.
cottoncandymango 17
I wish I had your mom! You're legal now! Carry on, move out, and start finally living your life!
tehman117 21
Why would you want op's mom?
ryanthecheeseguy 18
Op's mom is an asshole. Why the hell would you want her as a mom?
lwonderful 11
Okay. Just because you're legal doesn't mean you move out right after you turn 18. You have to figure out your life first. You can't just... Leave
TheDrifter 23
Sure you can just leave, that method worked for millennia. Think of it as an applied economics course vs a theoretical one. You can sit at home and ponder your life for years, or you can start living it and find out what it contains.
hotPinklipstick 24
I don't see the problem with moving out right after you turn 18, I did. I spent months before my 18th birthday looking for an apartment. A few days after I tuned 18 I applied for an apartment. My grandmother had to consign the lease, but I made it happen. I haven't relied on my family at all since I moved out. I think people rely too heavily on their parents nowadays, they are so use to being taken care of that can't grow a pair and learn to take care of themselves.
ILoveMyArm 15
I think she just means that she wish her mom was less strict in a sense of being able to move out and all. Some parents are too overprotective, for example, my mom refuses to let me move out until I finish college and get a stable job or get married. What she doesn't understand is my dream own an arm factory may not kick off for a while.
peopleequalshet 10
I moved countries 6 days after my 18th.
rocker_chick105 31
A lot of 18 year olds have car payments, school payments, and now you want to add apartment payments? 18 doesn't automatically mean you become a financially stable person...
ryanthecheeseguy 18
#52 I don't know why you've been down voted so much. You told a story about you and how it applies to the FML. It says a lot. You've got my thumbs up!
herh1996 6
Your definitely right, you can tell because the kids on this site always thumbs down the people who make sense.
NoOneLovesYou 13
That's good for you, but realistically most 18-year-olds cannot support themselves financially. This is especially true of college-bound teenagers - yes, as it turns out, at 18 you're still a teenager. College is expensive to begin with, then you want to force them to pay for both school and living expenses on the low wage job they'll get with so little experience? For some it is feasible, but for a large number of teenagers this just isn't. Minimum wage is not a living wage to begin with, so to live on it AND pay for school? Extremely difficult for someone who is, by biological definition, not yet fully grown to begin with.
hotPinklipstick 24
I understand that not everyone can do it, but I went to college as well while living on my own. It was a constant struggle, but it's possible. I had a minimum wage job at the time. I paid for college and for my apartment as well. Most of my meals were ramen noodles and can vegetables. It took a lot of sacrifice on my part, but I was determined to support myself and I made it happen. I don't see why some of you guys are making it sound impossible to survive on your own.
Poppipuff 14
93- And I don't understand why some people seems to think everyone should move out at 18.
OverBlossomed 22
Because for some people, it is impossible for the time being. My best friend turned 18 two days ago. She has no job and could not support herself financially. What she does have is asthma and many allergies that require her to take medications and three weekly shots. If her mother kicked her out, she could not acquire the treatments she needs and would be very sick all of the time. Don't judge lest ye be judged.

Whatever happened to having a talk with your kids & asking/telling them to move out ?

DotDootyDot 17
Now that's ******* cold. That's not a way to treat your child, you can't just throw them out as soon as they hit 18! You gotta at least make sure that they have everything they need to move out properly, you're still a parent after all. :/
amy6703 6
If they have no direction at 18, then why should she have to keep carrying him through life?
onaa3r 10
He just turned 18 lol. Not all of us have our lives mapped out by the eighteenth birthday fairy. You can't just go
DotDootyDot 17
Oh #26, so as soon as you hit 18 you already had a job that could pay for all of your bills and expenses, with an apartment, means of transportation, and a bank account? Good for you! Not everybody has that same luck and no parent should ever kick their child out of the house just because they turned 18. So shoosh away and please don't have kids, thank you very much.
TheDrifter 23
It's not a matter of luck. It used to be called "taking responsibility for your life". Kind of a cute, antiquated notion these days isn't it? At this rate our grand children will never consider moving, they'll just take over the house when their parents move to a nursing home.
OverBlossomed 22
If my mom did this to me, I'd cut her off and not even attend her funeral.
Rawr6591 21
its not a matter of not doing anything of those things yes this OP's mother was a bit rash with her approach but imo if you are smooching off of me with no job no schooling I'm getting you an apartment then you are on your own
DotDootyDot 17
#83 It has absolutely nothing to do with "responsibility", as you cannot suddenly expect a teenager to suddenly take full reign over their life when they're probably not even out of highschool yet. It is not about "luck" either, it's about giving your children the right amount of time for them to prepare for their new life (so they have at least the BARE MINIMUM to survive on their own) and not booting them out of the house just because the government now recognizes them as a legal adult. Life wasn't easy back then and it's even harder now, and I have no sympathy for parents who use this kind of tactics to get rid of their children.
