Today, after a relaxing week away, my husband and I came home to discover our 17 year old son crashed one of our cars against the other. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I let my son drive us home. After just 10 feet, he crashed into a parked cop car. It was my squad car. FML
Today, I accidentally crashed my mom's car into my dad's car. FML
Today, I woke up and saw my new car was gone and my son seemed very shifty. When I questioned him with the cops, he admitted to taking it for a joyride and "leaving it" behind a derelict mall. We drove over. It was wrapped around a light post, completely destroyed. FML
Today, I let my son take my car out for a spin, since he just got his licence. He didn't make it out of our street before totaling it. FML
Today, my son thought he'd take my new car for a drive without permission. He accelerated straight into a tree, reversed into a lamppost and then accelerated again into the neighbours car. FML
Today, I let my 19-year-old son drive my Lexus to his date. At 11:00 p.m., I watched him pull into the driveway with a broken taillight, marks and scratches all over the car, the front bumper missing, and him being nearly passed out because he's so drunk. FML
Today, my boyfriend crashed our car into the car ahead. He was trying to pull away from the traffic lights faster than the person next to us, a ten-year-old kid on a bicycle. FML
Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML
Today, I illicitly borrowed my dad's car to go to the store, but crashed into my mom's car as she and dad were returning from my grandma's house. Both cars are totalled, my mom is in hospital with a broken collarbone, and I realised dads really can make steam come out their ears if they’re really mad. FML
Today, my son got pulled over by a cop for speeding. He decided it was bullshit and floored the gas. He barely made it half a mile before losing control and crashing into a house. Now I'm being sued by the homeowner, my son is in jail, and my car is totaled. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm no sleuth but I think #420blazeit may have something to do with this

you left your 17 year old home alone for a week?! YDI

Hey! I was left alone multiple times when I was 16/17 (which was only a couple of years ago) while my parents went on holiday, and I was fine. Don't be patronizing!

It depends on the kids. I have a 17 yr old who I wouldn't leave alone for a week, while I would totally trust my 15 yr old. All teens are different when it comes to maturity

A seventeen year old should be able of taking care of him/herself. That person is a year away from adulthood and should capable of surviving for a week on their own. Granted everyone is different, but generally speaking he should have been fine.

I completely agree with 27. It totally depends on the kid. You may be able to leave one kid and they can totally take care of themselves, look after the house, and you can trust they will take care of things and not have a disaster when you get home. Whereas if you left another kid, they would survive only on pizza, sleep in every day till 1, not go to school, and you'd come home to a disaster of a house and mouldy dishes. Each child is different. Although, with that said, they are only 1 year away from adulthood, and if you have a kid that you wouldn't be able to leave alone, then you probably need to be giving them more responsibilities and teaching them how to do more things on their own (like laundry, chores, making their own lunches, learning how to budget their money, etc) to prepare them for the real world.

*points up* wow! Look at that joke going way over #51's head. While "was" should have been were, "Bends" was a pun because the cars were smashed.

What was the excuse?

time to make someone get a job and pay for it!
Migole 36
Well, time to do some serious parenting. He's old enough to find a job, so make him pay back all of it or at least enough so he learns his lesson.

He was making the cars touch tips, nothing wrong with that.

Look on the bright side he didn't wreck or injury anyone else in the process. Sounds like he's going to need to work for quite awhile.

The point is that not only could someone have been hurt, their kid damaged two expensive objects which can cost them thousands of dollars to repair. Asking someone to look on the bright side of that situation is absurd.
