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...

Um, you do realize this is the traditional sexism that parents dish out to their kids? Girls can't handle themselves apparently, and guys will outsmart them and take advantage of their girly weakness every time... guys on the other hand can pwn all the bitches they want and they're the MAN. I'll never be like that with my kids.

hmmm I see a loophole in this... get a girl in your room and if they say anything say 'well you didnt say that I couldnt have girls in my room"

Okay, so I read above, and there's also the pregnancy argument. Hm... So, if it happens to someone ELSE's daughter, it's not your problem OR your parents' problem. It's not like they would expect their son to actually help take care of the baby or anything, and be a decent human being. Ha, **** that. He's off scott free! It doesn't take two to make a baby, or anything. Amirite? DUR HUR.

I don't think they meant it that way, but only you really know the situation. Might they just be overprotective of her? I had more freedom at 13 than my sister did when she was 17.

Well now if you do bring a girl home, they can't get mad at you because they never said you couldn't. Better for you!

When you have a boy, you have to worry about one penis. When you have a girl, you have girl you have to worry about all of them. Also, maybe they think your a mature, responsible person and trust that you won't do any sexual actions and trust you to remain abstinent

is your sister older than you? they might think that you can't get a girlfriend, but then again they must just think that you're to young and didn't need to be told anyway. w.e, either way, if your mad about it, just go out and **** some chick.

Maybe they trust you enough so they don't have to make that rule ooooooorrrrrrr you're actually allowed to have whoever you want in your room. I say test this and find out which it is!
