Today, I just bought a car with all of my own money. Then, when I brought it home my dad informed me that my mom will be driving it to work every day. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, my mom sold the car I've been working on for the last few years for 100 dollars. To buy gas for her car. FML
Today, after selling their car, my parents decided to inform me that my car (that I paid for myself) is now going to be the "Family Car". They also informed me that since it is, after all, my car, I'll still have to pay for the gas and maintenance. FML
Today, I bought my very first car. My dad insisted on driving it, just to see how it handles, and drove it right off the bridge near our house into our river because he hasn’t driven anything in 15 years, which also means he has no insurance, at all. FML
Today, my parents said that they bought me a car. I had been begging for one for a year and they always said that I would have to pay for it myself. I got really excited and went to the garage to see my new ride. It was a Hot Wheels car with a note saying, "Save your money". FML
Today, after ten months of carpooling or borrowing my mom's car to get to work, and saving money, I finally have a brand new car. However, I have nowhere to go, besides work, and everyone I know is busy or lives out of state. FML
Today, I bought my very first car that I spent years saving for. A few hours after I signed all the papers, I let my boyfriend go for a test drive. He totaled it. FML
Today, I bought a used car from a private dealer my parents had recommended. On my way home they called to tell me that their car broke down. They bought it last week from the same guy. FML
Today, I illicitly borrowed my dad's car to go to the store, but crashed into my mom's car as she and dad were returning from my grandma's house. Both cars are totalled, my mom is in hospital with a broken collarbone, and I realised dads really can make steam come out their ears if they’re really mad. FML
Today, I got woken up by my parents telling me I had to go buy a car so they could have transportation. Neither of their cars work, so I was letting them use mine, and then they wrecked it. It needs nearly a thousand bucks in repairs to be drivable again, but since it was my car, I have to replace it now to appease them. FML
Today, my father retired and made sure to buy both my younger sisters and their partners near new cars. Despite only one having a licence. Then bought the bare minimal definition of a "functioning" car for me, as compensation for paying off the family car on my own. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Alright. I just read the viewpoint of a very self-centered parent, so I'm going to defend OP. How has the mother been getting to work this whole time? She should continue doing so. If she has lost her mode of transportation, she should ask if OP could drive her to work, not demand he turn over the car he has worked for and bought with his own money for the entire day leaving him with a car payment, insurance payment, and not benefitting from any of it. If you are a parent and you feel you are entitled to use your kids because you have had to support them financially this whole time, you should never have had kids in the first place. It was your decision to have kids; responsibility and sacrifice are part of the deal. You don't get to teach kids to be independent and then rip that independence from them when they finally do earn it. OP's dad needs to get another job to support his wife or something and let this hard working kid enjoy his newfound independence and let him learn some responsibility in the process.

That is exactly what I was saying! I can't believe how many people think the parents should be able to take OP's car away!

thank you someone who makes sense if they weren't up to the task of financially supporting another human being for 18 years or more they should have gotten an abortion or given this child up for adoptions children are not IOU's they are a responsibility we all have the choice to make, we never get paid back and those of us who are real parents would never expect it and would be happy our kids were responsible enough to save their money and buy a car on their own.. shame on this parents seems as if OP is more grown up then his parents, children do not support their parents just because they were supported by them everyone should help out family if possible where was their 50% contribution to the purchase of this car to help their responsible child out?? that is what real parents do SMDH
