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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

why is there still a mortgage if it's been in your family for 3 generations? talk about a high interest rate! lol

The parents either borrowed against a paid-for house or kept re-financing their mortgage instead of paying it off.

more likely we're about using your house like an ATM

You agreed to live in their house - THEIR house. If someone moved in with me, I don't care what the reason, they are not making the rules and they're not keeping me up all night. And I'm sure you're making out in this deal too. Stop whining or move out, if you can.

I sort of agree... If you're living in someone else's house you need to be respectful. BUT the parents can't control to the point of ridiculousness, either. They need to respect their SIL/daughter/grandchild's rights too. OP went there to HELP their parents. They have every right to just leave if the parents are being unreasonable. It's not a case where OP was short on cash and had to resort to moving back in with the fam. If you're quiet enough about coming in even at 1am, it shouldn't be an issue. I don't know why they tried to give a curfew to the three year old.

I agree with Steff. And there's the matter of true ownership here, too. If OP's helping with the mortgage, is it really still just the parents' house?

well, you guys need a sit-down. dad, mom we are here to help you with the mortgage but we do not agree with this curfew of yours. we are big peoples now, and do not like this newly-imposed restriction so no curfew, all fair.

Sure it's the parents' house and their rules obviously, but telling her family when to be in bed is disrespectful to their parenting and I'm assuming they're responsible and considerate enough to handle themselves. Just because she's their "kid" doesn't make it alright to treat her as such.

three generations op, and the mortgage hasn't been paid? well maybe you need to lose the house because you will most likely follow in your parents foot steps and not pay it off either.

Time to let the old property go. Next when the parents come to live with you, you get to set the rules. I'm kidding, they will never consider you anything other than their baby.
