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!

Again, I'm surprised by the number of parents on FML who somehow either neglect or abuse their children. Your money, your car, you are driving it, your mom gets to borrow it whenever you say she can. Not your dad's decision to make. What would happen if you simply told him that? (I assume you're over the age of 18, so technically he doesn't get to decide anything for you, unless you're depending on him economically).

this isn't neglect or abuse....it's just parents being assholes.

Ask her to help pay for gas and stuff like that. It only seems fair.

Even if she pay for gas and insurance the OP is still going to be without a car whenever she drives it

I'd be like, "Yeah? Uh.......no."

Impressive Op, you can afford a car but your parents cannot. Now stand up for yourself because you deserve to drive it, not your parents.
Franswah 0
you can get used cars pretty cheap now a days, but still I get your point
giantsfan2010 23
Yeah thats true, but most of the cheap ones have lots of problems with them.

If you bought it with your own money, aren't you entitled to say who drives it?

Shouldn't have bought a brand new car. Should gave bought a used car and use the money you saved to MOVE OUT!

Op said "a car" not a brand new one. Getting a car is normally the first step toward moving out. Sounds to me like Op is working on that.
geeksaresexy 18
also a car is cheaper than moving out..

Also, if op moved out and DIDN'T have a car, then he would have no way to get anywhere

tell him that you bought it with your own money, so no she won't
giantsfan2010 23
Learn to drive a manual, maybe your parents won't know how, and you will be the only one to drive it.
