Miscellaneous: They're probably right

They're probably right

Today, my family was discussing the new rules of the house we are moving into. They told my sister she couldn't have any boys in her room. They didn't tell me I couldn't have any girls in my room. Even my parents think I can't get a girlfriend. FML

Empty nest

Today, after returning from taking my sister off to college, my parents told me that our house would be a lot quieter with my sister gone. Not because she's loud, but because she has friends and I apparently don't. FML

Today, I was helping my dad move into his new house. It's a 4-bedroom house and he has three kids so it's perfect. I was wandering around and noticed that the first bedroom is his, the second is my older brother's, the third is my younger sister's, and the fourth is an office. I have no room. FML

Today, my mom won't let me have the extra hotel room she booked all to myself, even though it's just me, her, and my sister. Basically I can share a room with her or with my sister, but I can't be alone. I'm 23. FML

Today, my brother and his girlfriend are fighting about something they agreed on YEARS ago. Every couple of months this argument comes back and his girlfriend changes the rules or the definition. I can’t believe she gonna become my sister-in-law. FML

Today, I found out that if my husband and I move to another country to live, then his mom and sister will live with us too. I'm already living with them because of societal traditions. I like them and everything, but I really need some privacy. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I had a fight about his parents. We're both 23-year-old university students who aren't allowed in his bedroom unless the door is completely open. Nothing he says to his parents will change this. FML

A few good men?

Today, I was visiting my in-laws and sharing a room with my husband's 17-year-old sister. Later that night she and her brother of 24 years started fist-fighting over an air mattress and I had to pull them off each other. The brother later berated me with, "You can't handle any pressure!" FML

Great parenting

By not my responsibility - 05/10/2021 07:59

Today, my sister is upset that I won’t upturn my entire life by letting her kids stay at my house 4-5 days a week. She decided to move in with her boyfriend after one month, before even introducing him to her kids. Now he’s decided he doesn’t like the kids, so she wants me to keep them. FML

Thats just how parents are, way more protective over their "little girl" when it comes to the opposite sex

Maybe they specifically aren't forbidding you to have girls in your room...

Tbh I can see what the people above are saying but if the OP happened to me then I'd probably think the same thing the OP did

They don't trust your sister as much, then. You should know, boys are crap heads. Lol. Well, you really should know, boys are usually the ones with the sex ideas. Parents are more protective over their little girl, and that's how I'll be too. Boys suck when they're in puberty. No offence, but I know what it's like. I overheard their conversation in the cafeteria when I was in middle school. My God, so help me, Jesus. O_o

Maybe they think you are gay, and the no boys rule was for both of you?

Maybe they just dont mind you having girls, and they are usually more protective of girls, dont make such a big deal out of this, i really doubt that they thought u cant get a girlfriend

invite a prostitute over to your house. If they walk in on you: a. they can't ground you since , well, there was never a rule against your having girls over in the first place b. They'll know you can get laid. wouldn't wanna tell them she's a hooker though. ..... but as others said maybe it's cause you're just a boy :)
