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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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!

Unfortunately OP is in a bad way if they are still living at home. Because that leaves the parents with the right to make OP's life hell if he doesn't comply. That being said, you have two options. Either you move out and take your car with you, or you allow them to use it with the stipulations that they pay for gas, insurance and maintenance of the car. Unfortunately, the mom is using it to work, presumably to help pay the rent to keep OP and the rest of the family with a roof over there head, so yeah, things are gonna get a little ugly if you keep living there but refuse to let them use the car. The least they could have done is asked though...

how was mother getting to work before this car was purchased? I'm going to assume that OP's car is better, newer and more reliable so they want to stick their kid with a POS and give mom the better car shame on them SMDH if his parents love him the way they should then they wouldn't mind if he said no and would not make his life he'll and alienate him from them, if they do then they didn't love him to begin with OP get out as quickly as possible probably in the middle of the night would be easiest

You could move out and take the car with you. You could report it stolen, if your name is the only one on the title. You could sell the car, since you will not have use of it anyways. Or. . . You could leave retirement home pamphlets laying about the house. Remind them that their future is in your hands, after all. Tell them you'll pick a nice one if they treat you well. ;)

Yes! Be nice to your kids, they chose your nursing home! Always good to remind them of that fact!

awesome idea made me LOL about the retirement pamphlets, I say leave ones lying around that are the worst ones in the area or ones that are further away so they would know that they will never have a visitor lol I will never have to deal with that but I had awesome parents and would have cared for them Shitty ones get shitty care IMHO

if it's in your name, don't worry about it. if she drives it, report it stolen. one GTA charge later, they won't ever even LOOK at your car lol

Hide the keys. And leave the house in the morning in the aforementioned car before she does.
