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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. 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
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
Today, I found out the only reason my parents want me to live with them is because of the tax refund. FML
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, my parents have separated. I stayed with them, living at home far too long for my own comfort, just to help them keep it together after they lost their remaining parents. Literally the month after I moved out, they decided it wasn't worth it. I now suspect they stayed together only because I still lived at home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

I don't think people understand this fml. She's angry because she has lived on her own for quite a bit, yet her parents are claiming her as a dependent meaning they get a tax break. I'm assuming she feels entitled to their help because of this. I don't think she's entitled, but I do think her parents are a little shady...

They very well may be claiming their kid because they are still providing medical insurance.

I don't think that would have worked anyways, they need to see the credit card when they deliver.

No they don't. I order pizza online a lot and have never been asked to show my card.

I used to order pizza for my ex from an hour and a half away and never once had a problem.

If you are a full time student and they are helping pay for your education or under 21 and on their health insurance they can claim you as a dependent. that doesn't mean they have to support you. It sounds like you are a spoiled brat crying cause Mom and Dad didn't buy you pizza. Get over it and FTL for having a lazy whinny kid.

I haven't been completely out of money since I started working at the age of 10 (mowing lawns and such). I can't imagine being so broke that I couldn't scrape together $10 for a pizza. your parents are doing you a favor. grow up.

Youre wrong Barbie. I pay for pizza over the phone with a card all the time. They deliver the pizza with two receipts. One for you and the other for you to add a tip. Not all pizza places do this but some do :) Man, this makes me want pizza! I said pizza a lot in this post...Pizza

OP, pizza is not something you need when you are out of money. I'm willing to bet your parents would have been willing to send you food if you REALLY needed it. The fact that you wanted pizza? You didn't need it. YDI
