Today, I moved back in with my parents in order to help them with the mortgage, so they don't lose the house that has been in our family for three generations. I also found out that I now have a curfew, and so does my husband and our 3 year old son. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I moved in with my parents because I can't afford to live on my own. I now pay 100% of the bills and can't leave because I can't save to replace my stolen/totaled car. I also can't drop my mask at home because 33 is apparently to old to be autistic, and I'm so tired and burnt out. I'm also not allowed to sleep. FML
Today, my parents have separated. I stayed with them, living at home far too long for my own comfort, just to help them keep it together after they lost their remaining parents. Literally the month after I moved out, they decided it wasn't worth it. I now suspect they stayed together only because I still lived at home. FML
Today, I let my estranged husband move back in with my son and me. Later, his pregnant and underage girlfriend knocked on my door, crying about how her mom kicked her out. I'm such a pushover, they're in my bed and I'm on the couch. FML
Today, I moved out of my parents' house and started living alone. All of a sudden, my parents started requiring me to text or call them every 5 minutes to tell them where I am and what I'm doing, from 6am to 12am every day. If I don't, they will go looking for me, and force me to move back in with them. FML
Today, I have no choice but to move back in with my mom and her husband, who are still married even though he's responsible for the house fire that killed my two younger brothers in 2013. FML
Today, I had to admit to everyone, including my cable guy, that I'm moving back in with my parents. FML
Today, marks the third time this month my parents came to visit. I moved 5 hours away to get away from them. FML
Today, after months of telling my parents I was going to live on my own, I finally moved out. Not even 24 hours being out of their house, some reject burned down the apartment complex I live in. Guess who's moving back home. FML
Today, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? FML
Today, I visited my dad. He gave the, "You live under my roof, you follow my rules" lecture since I didn't do my "chores". I moved out 3 years ago. FML

if the house has been in the family for 3 generations, then why are they still paying a mortgage?

how are they still paying on the mortgage if it's been in the family for 3 generations?

This one was easy. Tell them they cannot expect your help if they treat you as a child when you in fact have your own family to take care of. And that if they don't comply to those oviously fair terms you will of course move out. Stupid fml is stupid.

....... seriously. u couldn't just send them money... and I'm guessing ur moving back in to save them does not make them a 24/7 babysitter hence the curfew... just a guess. ooooo poor parents

Why is there still a mortgage on a house that's been in you're family for 3 generations?

For the love of God people, use your brain. The op said 3 generations. She has a 3 year old son. Her parents, herself and her son = 3 generations. The house could easily be in her family for these 3 generations spanning a relatively small number of years - certainly more than a mortgage term of 30-40 years. They could also have remortgaged for a number of reasons that are, frankly, not important to this FML and not really any concern of ours. Also, who gives a shit if the house isn't paid for - its not the main point of this FML, perhaps you are lonely up there on your pedestal and like to shit down on the little people to make yourself feel better? It sucks that the op has a curfew but she is in a strong position to negotiate it. Good for her for helping out her parents though.

"Her parents, herself and her son = 3 generations" Uh, no. She said the house had been in the family for three generations. That generally suggests that three generations have 'owned' it. Pretty sure the 3 year old has not yet owned the house. In fact, sounds like the OP hasn't either. So if we are going by what she actually said, it sounds like the house has been in the family since the OP's grandparents or great-grandparents. If she was including her son in saying "the house has been in the family for 3 generations", she is exaggerating.
