Today, I found out my mom can't wait until I turn 18, so she can kick me out and turn my room into a huge closet for all her clothes. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mom told me she can't wait for me to turn eighteen so she can turn my room into a place for her to display all her antique glass dolls. FML
Today, I realized I can't wait until my daughter moves out the house when she is 18. She's eight. FML
Today, two more years until I can move out. My mom takes up so much space in the house, even in my room, I don't even have enough space for my own clothes, and I'm not allowed to get rid of ones that don't fit. How am I supposed to survive another two years here when I have a breakdown about her suffocating me once a week? FML
Today, I found out that my mom goes through my garbage. I'm 25 and don't live with her. FML
Today, my mother is a hoarder and her stuff has taken over the whole house, my bedroom included. I've always felt trapped in my home, but when I can't use my closet or dresser because of her and have a messy room because of it, I feel like I can't breathe. In 3 years I'm moving out, I wish it would come faster. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me for going through her closet for some warmer clothes. She had a rant about taking her clothes without her permission, all while wearing a pair of my boots and one of my sweaters. FML
Today, my mother kicked me out of the house because her new boyfriend needs my room. Evidently he also needs my credit card, passport, and wallet too, because she kept all three, while tossing everything else out on the lawn. FML
Today, I found out my roomie has lost her only source of income. This means I'm responsible for all the bills and the rent. I would kick her out and get someone else, but she's my mother. FML
Today, I decided it was time to start looking for my own place and finally gain my full independence. My mom agreed happily without hesitation, which was surprising, but not anywhere near as surprising as finding out I have one day to get my shit together and leave. FML
Today, my mother told me she thinks it is time for me to move into my own place. I agreed with her and went to look at studios/flats online. She later came into my room, saw me looking at places and then got pissed off at me, saying that I hate her for wanting to leave her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I hate parents with the mindset of kicking you out when you turn 18. That's the most ****** up thing a parent can do. Most people aren't finically stable at 18 and need help before they get out.

Yikes, I really hope she doesn't get impatient and start converting your room. It's terrible when parents' beliefs force their children to live in the closet.

Time to grow up - Your parents are not responsible for you your whole life. You need to have a life plan to take care of yourself - That includes an education that leads to a career that will allow you to support yourself when you are of adult age.

In this day and age, that's not exactly true. It's getting harder to be perfectly self sufficient at age 18 to move out and never look back. College is very expensive. It can also be hard to get a job in your field. I am very fortunate to have parents who have understood how I've struggled with invisible illness and are proud that I'm returning to school next year for my Masters degree. I have to live with them because I won't be able to work in my Masters program. I do help around the house (cook, clean, other) and we all get along. If I had been kicked out of the house at 18... I would probably still be working retail, making minimum wage, would not have my degree... and I'd probably be homeless. It's best not to judge sometimes.

#24 exactly. I was kicked out a week after turning 18. And that week was all the notice I got. Thankfully I had enough saved from working fast food and I was able to get a place, but I've been working retail ever since pretty much living paycheck to paycheck.

And they should be able to still live at home as they're getting their education. Idk about you but if my parents kicked me out the second I turned 18 I'd feel unloved and betrayed.

My siblings and I are lucky. Our mom has never kicked ya out. Around where we live, rent could be near 1000. There is no way I could afford it. I dropped out of college when I was 19-medical reasons. Im lucky my mom doesn't kick me out, or my daughter and myself would be homelessness.

get off your ass and do something around the house

What makes you think they don't do that already? The mother could just be a very selfish person.

God. Yet another jerk parent.

And here I thought parenting was the most rewarding job in the world.

Then, OP's mother shouldn't have had a child in the first place. She chose to be a parent. OP didn't choose to be her child.

That's what all parents say, I think? My mom says that about me and my brother so your not alone!

Pretty sure most parents don't. Most parents let their kid live at home while still in school or until they're financially stable to be on their own. I moved when I was 21 and my parents had a hard time with it. Not all parents are assholes.

Mime never said that, although my old room is indeed now a closet.

I'm allowed to stay for as long as I'm in school. Eventually when I can find a job that works with both my school schedule and disability (if any knows of anything non-sexual let me know!) then I'll start paying for my car note/insurance. All of my friends parents have been pretty much the same. The ones that kicked their kids out at 18 were exactly dream parents to begin with.

#67 mimes don't say anything...and tend to be live in invisible boxes.

OP tell her how you feel. Maybe if you tell her that you're offended by what she said she won't say things like that anymore.

God, I hate parents like that. One of the negatives of living in a free society is that people have the right to be assholes in just about any way you can imagine. Your parents have to feed you, clothe you, keep you healthy, and educate you, at least until you’re whatever age is legal where you are. Some parents treat their kids like you should be happy they did just enough to keep you alive. A lot of parents are jerks, and there’s nothing stopping them from being jerks. I wish all those parents lots of long, unhealthy post-retirement years alone and abandoned, trapped in some cheap government-funded nursing home because they drove their kids away for good.

Even though it sucks, it's her house and she worked to pay for it. You're lucky she at least warned you. Start planning your life now.
LivToFail 28
While I agree the OP should start planning her life, its still ****** to kick your child out of the house before they even have a chance to become stable. Especially for a dumb reason like her mother has. And with what that parent has done, shes very far from lucky. As far as im concerned, that lady deserves to be put in the nursing home later on, for being so selfish to the op.
mds9986 24
I said OP was only lucky in that they weren't kicked to the curb at 18 with no warning. You really blew what I said out of proportion. I'm sorry, but life isn't fair for everyone.
Seabass_Chan 33
Who said OP hasn't already started planning their life? It's not like the mother's doing what she thinks is best for OP, just for herself, like a selfish bitch.
