Today, I saw the blueprints for my family's new house. My room is half the size of the room next to it. The room next to it is my step mom's walk-in closet. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was helping my dad move into his new house. It's a 4-bedroom house and he has three kids so it's perfect. I was wandering around and noticed that the first bedroom is his, the second is my older brother's, the third is my younger sister's, and the fourth is an office. I have no room. FML
Today, we started building our dream house. Next to my parents-in-law. FML
Today, I woke up to my step-mother taking a shower in my bathroom. Of course, this would be fine, if my bathroom wasn't connected to my room and closet, or that I live in an apartment in their back yard, built before she moved in. FML
Today, I came home to my family remodeling our (extremely) out of date bathroom. I was SUPER excited to help them get it done. I walked down the hallway and opened my bedroom door to find a huge, gaping hole in my wall and my room covered in dust. I had to sweep every surface in my room. FML
Today, I found out my mother had remarried, and that I was getting a stepfather and stepbrother. However, I found out about it 30 minutes before we left to pick them up from the airport, and also found out that I'm losing my bedroom. FML
Today, I traveled to my hometown for a funeral. I'm staying with my family in the house I grew up in. My dad told me they'd "completely renovated" the house. There's still only one bathroom for the seven of us and I'm sleeping on the floor for the entire two weeks. FML
Today, I asked my boss if I could have a bigger cubicle. I'm now working in one that is half the size of my old one. FML
Today, my mother is a hoarder and her stuff has taken over the whole house, my bedroom included. I've always felt trapped in my home, but when I can't use my closet or dresser because of her and have a messy room because of it, I feel like I can't breathe. In 3 years I'm moving out, I wish it would come faster. FML
Today, we wanted to buy a bigger house just up the street from our current house so all three of our kids could have their own rooms, but we were outbid… by my mother in law, so now we’re stuck in our too small house even longer, and the evil old bitch is now close enough to visit us every day. FML
Today, is my one day off for the week. My mother in law is visiting, and has decided we need to rearrange my living room. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How sad. I think you need to have a sit-down conversation with your father. Hope you're going off to college soon.

don't think of it as your room is too small, just think of hers as too big and yours is JUST RIGHT :)

I think it's really sexist to assume that the step mother had no money of her own when she got married to the OP's father. Maybe they are equal contributors in building the new house? Either way, no one should have enough clothing to fill a closet bigger than a bedroom of any size.

Here's an idea. When you get older buy a house that happens to have one room that is particularly small. Smaller than your soon to be room. Then anytime your parents come to visit tell them that is the guest room, you can sugar coat it like "The guest room I prepared just for my loving parents"...ect. Othertimes you can use it as a room for a pet.

Here's a better idea: Live in the closet. Then, when you turn 18, "come out of the closet" and tell your parents that you're gay. They'll ask "Why son, WHY?!" and you'll say "YOU KNOW WHY!" **** their lives? hahahaha.

Listen...There is no excuse as to why your step mothers closet is twice the size of your room!!! It doesn't matter if you going off to college tomorrow...its ridiculous. Now I hope you have a plan to take back that closet and add it onto your room so then not only will your step mother be out of a closet...you will have a decent sized room! I honestly hope you dont just let this slide by...definitely a fmylife moment there...

All these people saying you're complaining about something you should be grateful for are missing the point. I'm in college and still living at home, probably till I graduate, because it's much cheaper and I live close to school. It's pretty lame that your parents did that, and it's absurd anyway because there's no reason anyone should have a closet that is bigger than any given bedroom. #34, I hope you never have kids.

I'm so tired of hearing spoiled rich brats whine and complain.
