Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I dropped out of college and moved back home to help my mom take care of my younger siblings after our father's death. My mom yelled at me and scolded me and lectured me for throwing my life away, and said this was the last thing she ever wanted me to do. I thought she needed help. FML
Today, after being accepted into the college of my dreams, I found out that my mom has spent all my college savings on alcohol over the years, and she says that it's my fault for not "helping her get help." FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML
Today, my dad came home from Vegas. Today, my college savings account is down by $64,000. FML
Today, after months of living on five dollars a day for food in college, I found out my parents bought me an expensive meal plan and forgot to mention it. FML
Today, my dad and his girlfriend left for a 10-day vacation. They booked an expensive beach-house. I'm an A grade student and just last month, he stopped paying my school fees because he 'couldn't afford it.' Oh, and he's making me feed the dog while he's away. FML
Today, my sister finally broke down and told me that our dad gambled away of all my college savings, and I would have to pay for school the best way I can. They have known for months, and when I asked why nobody told me, the reply was, "You're a college boy, we thought you would figure it out." FML
Today, I started at a new college. I bought my textbooks and went to my first class only to find out that they changed my schedule without telling me. I'd already opened the book. I could not get $200 back. FML
Today, I called my dad to ask why my university tuition had not been paid. He said that my school was "too expensive" and he "couldn't afford it." He then asked me if I would take in his mail while he was away. He was taking his new wife to Hawaii; apparently it's beautiful this time of year. FML

That's... awful. You'll find a way to make it work, though, if you really want to.

All of you who are telling this kid that they deserve it, to grow up and "pay for college yourself" wtf? Did you ever think that maybe this person is fresh out of high school? First semester of college? Grow up? They are 17 or 18! Good grief give them a break. They probably used their graduation money to pay for all the new stuff and if their dad told them that he was going to pay their tuition bill then HE SHOULD HAVE PAID THE TUITION BILL. It's not OP's fault their dad is a douche.

One day he'll need you, and you can tell him to **** off then. God bless nursing homes. In the meantime, register for spring take the money, and prove him wrong.

Hey you know it's your responsibility to take care of that financial business when you go to college. So, I don't feel bad for you. YDI.

No, your dad didn't forget. YOU are the one who forgot. You are the one who has access to your student account to see the exact amount of tuition you must pay, and what day it is due by. Even if he's the one paying for your tuition, you are still responsible for letting him know all this. YDI for being that irresponsible and ignorant.

you mean you expected to ride your daddy's coattails? I don't get it, why does everyone think that someone else is going to pay for them to go to school. I def. paid my own way but you have got to grow up and quit being such a baby

YDI for not being responsible for your own finances.

everyone should stop bitching that parents shouldn't pay for schooling. unless they really can't afford it, I think it's stupid for parents not to contribute at least something to their child's education. so for all those people who say "you're spoiled, I had to pay for my own schooling, blah blah blah", good for you and stfu. I have a decent-paying job, and I still don't have enough money for school, so I'm not going to say no to my parents making a contribution. assholes.
