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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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've been in a situation like this, and I kinda have to say YDI. If you have money, ordering a pizza should be the last thing you want to do. Learn to spend money wisely, like buying groceries. I can't really blame the parents for not wanting to buy you a pizza if you blew your money on other things besides food

The rule for claiming a dependent (assuming the OP's a college student) is: Person can be claimed until they're 23 if a full time student provided he did not provide over half of their own support from earned income (scholarships and grants don't count). However, I highly doubt the OP actually supports herself since she's asking her parents for pizza money. My guess is she lives by herself but her parents pay the bills. If OP does support herself then she should claim herself on her own taxes and provide documentation to show she supports herself so her parents can't claim her. If she doesn't support herself, the OP needs to get off the computer, get a job, and pay her own bills. Maybe then she'd be able to get a $5 pizza.

I want to know where you people live that you can get an edible pizza for $5.

So many of you are pitiless and assume terrible things about OP. What if she IS doing her best working

Cause then it wouldn't be can I have a pizza. It'd be can I have grocery money, or I need some money to not get evicted.

do your taxes before they do. Claim yourself. When they ask why you say "karma, shoulda bought me that pizza". If you can't cook a pizza can feed you for a few days.
