Today, I found my 15-year-old son sleeping on the couch. I asked why, and he said he'd rented his room out to someone on Craigslist to make extra money, so he was getting used to sleeping in the living room instead. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, despite the fact that I live with my parents and pay rent, my mom decided the best spot for my brother, his wife and one-year-old son was my bedroom. So I'm sleeping on the couch, because it would, "take too long to clean her room." FML
Today, I found out my son has been sneaking out of his room at night to see his girlfriend. He's a fully-grown 23-year-old man with a job and his own car. He doesn't need to sneak out. What an idiot. FML
Today, I discovered that last night, my son snuck downstairs at 3am, drank two glasses of my very expensive wine, threw up on his bed, and then slept in his own vomit. My son is 14. FML
Today, in response to the guy whose son told him to fuck off for disturbing his one day off a week, my son spent literally his entire savings account for a deposit on a shitbox one bedroom house because he’s sick of his dad finding him things to do every ten minutes, and I don’t even blame him. FML
Today, my wife asked our 17 year-old son to clean his room. Following up, he lied to his mom and said it was clean. After rechecking his room, he began to throw things and I returned to find holes punched in the walls. I went and patched the holes, after which he immediately kicked more holes. FML
Today, I found out that my son had sold his house key to one of his friends for half a packet of gum. Now there is someone out there who I have never met with full access to my house. My son is 16. FML
Today, I told my 15 year-old son that I was taking my wife to a fancy restaurant for her birthday, so he would be on his own tonight. Most teenagers would play video games, watch porn, and sneak a beer, which I would be okay with. He started crying and asked why he was "left out", then clung to my wife's leg. FML
Today, I found out the person that I’ve been casually seeing has decided he wants to live with me. I found this out when I asked him to go home after two weeks sleeping over, and he told me he'd already moved out of his mom’s. I sublet a single bedroom and have barely enough room for myself. FML
Today, I let my estranged husband move back in with my son and me. Later, his pregnant and underage girlfriend knocked on my door, crying about how her mom kicked her out. I'm such a pushover, they're in my bed and I'm on the couch. FML
Today, I found out that my son has been telling me he's gay so we would allow the "female friend" who is actually his girlfriend to stay over. FML

Why would a person accept an offer from a 15 year old anyway

Well raise his pocket money and he won't need to do all this I suppose.

who'd exactly he let into the house?

Your grammar is horrible.

His grammar is actually fine. The only thing that makes it a little clunky is that he said "exactly he."

Since he'll have income now, he won't need allowance. It's a win win.

Is allowance a common thing? My parents tried it for like 2 weeks when I was 8 and stopped because I never spent it on anything and thought it was a waste.

Atleast he is putting his resources to use! But now that he's making an income off your living expenses maybe you should charge him rent? Lol

Donald Trump would hire this kid in a New York minute! Not only is he created a positive cash flow positively no work or effort on his behalf but he's rented out assets that are in his so win-win situation my friend. Did he promise the tenant meals with his lodging?

I think the question we all want to know is, who the hell is he letting in your house ?

I would be pissed if my child did this. There's a total disregard for the other family members who would have a stranger in the home. It's not like the guy would simply live in the kid's room, he would need to use the kitchen and the bathroom, which puts him in direct contact with the other family members. OP, cancel the contract if one is signed (either way he's a minor so I'm pretty sure it's useless) and give your son a lesson in acceptable ways to make money.

49, do you actually think a 15-year-old kid letting strangers he finds online sleep in his room is a GOOD thing?

Technically they never said that, they just stated that with the right principles in mind this plan would have been quite smart and degrading it like that makes the person seem quite boring and frustrating :P
