Today, I called my parents from out of state to see if they would order me a pizza using their credit card online because I'm out of money. I haven't lived with them for the past year, and they still claim me as a dependent on their taxes. They said no. FML

Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML

Today, I finally got the nerve to tell my parents that I'm no longer going to pay them a flat percent of my salary, but only what they need to cover my expenses. Their response: "Better find a place of your own then, you freeloading bastard." FML

Cough it up

Today, my parents took me out to eat. When the bill came, they stared at me for a while before asking, “Aren’t you gonna pay?” They've never made me pay before, there was no indication that I’d have to pay this time, and I’d left my wallet at home. FML

Today, I lived at home rent free, until now. According to my mother, I receive "too many packages" from online shopping, and now I need to "chip in." FML

Control

By justwantedtounpack - 29/12/2014 04:55 - United States

Today, my parents threw a hissy fit calling me ungrateful and disrespectful for wanting to do laundry and clean at home, instead of going out to their friends' house for dinner. They also disconnected the Internet to punish me when they left. I'm 20 and visiting home on a college break. FML

Today, my parents said they were cutting me off for saving a kitten's life and wanting to keep it. I am 40 years-old and don't get any money from them. FML

Today, my parents, my two sisters and their significant others went on a vacation and dropped their children at my house without ever asking me. I'm single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, and they know it. FML

Today, I ordered a pizza online to be delivered to my apartment. After an hour of waiting, I called the pizza place to ask what the problem was. Apparently, the people at the apartment below me took my already paid for pizza and ate it. FML

If you're out of money, you should be asking your parents for money for groceries that will last a week or longer, not pizza that will only last a day and a half. How are you even managing to live on your own if you don't have any money, anyway? I don't really see the second to last sentence as being relevant; seems like you're just putting that there to say that your parents owe you.

17- did you not hear this guy basically say his parents were mooching off him? the least they can do is get him a pizza. since when does teaching someone responsibility include giving them your own responsibilities

Why are you out of money? If you blew all of your food money on pot than YDI. If not, then I thinks it's time to claim yourself.

All of you high and mighty people can go F*** yourselves, this economy SUCKS, the job market SUCKS, and most of the jobs that young people can get are difficult to live off of. Most of you being so judgmental and unfair are probably young enough that you don't have to worry about a job, or old enough that you had a job before this shitty job market hit. I have been looking for a summer job for years, and no one will even look at me because I don't have a lot of experience. Don't judge people for things you don't have to deal with.

Rob the pizza place, when you get caught blame your parents. The police will investigate them and will go to jail for sayin youre still dependant. Theyll be forever sorry and will give you money forever. Thatll show them! BWAHAHAHA!!
