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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 too bad for him he can't legally do that. The contract wouldn't be binding haha. I'd say you deserve it because you weren't watching your kid nearly close enough. If he was able to go on craigslist, post an ad, sift through the responses, find someone, and get to the point where he is getting ready to sleep on the couch, then there were plenty of stops along the way you missed. Why would he have such unfettered access to the internet at that age? YDI

Like #54, I also had unrestricted and unsupervised access... I don't think it's that uncommon. The students in my 5th grade (ages 10-11) made fun of a girl because she was the only one out of 35 kids who didn't have unrestricted internet & computer access. By the time kids are 15 and in high school they will need to work on papers and projects (which include research, often done on the internet); it becomes impractical to supervise them the entire time they're at their computer.

The idea of having supervised/restricted internet access at 15 years old is ridiculous. Restricting a minors internet access is just a poor substitute for proper parenting. Kids are more than capable of growing up into happy, well-rounded people with free internet access.

I wish I thought of that at his age.
