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?

I just want to slap people that expect back payment for raising children. Keeping the utlities on, rent paid and food in the house is your legal responsibility once you decide to have children. If you cant do this for 18 years zip your pants up, invest in birth control or look into adoption. The mother has been getting to work without OPs care before hand she can continue to do so now. I would look into moving out as soon as possible as your parents obviously don't understand boundaries. If you're under 18 and they push the issue I'd consider selling the car and telling them you're saving the money for college, you can get a bank account they do not have access to by the age of 16 so your money will be safer than your vehicle.

i would honestly be ok with that. after all, im assuming your parents let you use their own vehicle before you had your own. (which they paid for and shit) if not, well, these are the parents that raised you for 18 years and paid for everything until then. Dont be so selfish. but if you're still down about it, she can at least help pay for gas.

Paying for their kid for the first 18yrs became their job when they chose to have kids. If they don't do that, they get charged with child abuse and neglect. Don't want to spend time or money on kids? Either give them to someone who aren't total jerks that expect repayment for the choices they've made, or just don't have kids.
