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

Vacation blues

By Anonymous - 24/03/2024 03:00 - United States

Today, I set aside an entire week off to watch my parents' house while they went on vacation. I'd only just got here and they'd barely left when the hospital called. My drunk uncle died from a concussion, so my parents cancelled everything. I feel bad for my aunt, but my boss knows where I live, and my dad's an ass. I'm trapped. FML

What a dump

Today, I'm stuck in a ramshackle house that my aunt bought and moved everyone out to. Only one bathroom works, and she won't let us flush it because the house keeps flooding. Four people are stuck here with just one toilet filled with poop and urine, while she's been staying at a friend's house. FML

Today, I went to visit my father. His new wife has hoarded out our childhood home nearly to the point of it being unliveable. That’s pretty funny, considering my dad used to literally beat us if our rooms weren’t clean or we left dishes in the sink. FML

Today, my dad had a day off and was 'bored' so he decided to move our entire kitchen into our living room. We now have no running water, no oven that works and the entire house is a bombsite. He has an entire week off. FML

Today, despite the fact that I live with my parents and pay rent, my mom decided the best spot for my brother, his wife and one-year-old son was my bedroom. So I'm sleeping on the couch, because it would, "take too long to clean her room." FML

Trapped

Today, me, my mom, and my brother lost our house, the place we had lived for my whole life. I can't describe the pain I feel because my whole life was painted around that town. I had also just made friends as we were moving. I now live with 7 other people from my family. I can't be myself and I don't have my own room. 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Today, I came home to my family remodeling our (extremely) out of date bathroom.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 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, my boyfriend and I moved into our own house. He proceeded to invite his parents to stay for the week. The same parents we've lived with for the past 5 years. FML

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

Two weeks for a funeral?!?!? Are they burying the poor bastard piece by piece?

if it's that big of a deal, get a hotel or stay elsewhere. you're parents probably didn't renovate with intent of having all their kids back home.

You've survived before, you'll survive again. You don't live there anymore so it's only a minor inconvenience for a couple days. Time to put on your big boy pants.

My brother is lactose intolerant and loves to eat dairy. OP can complain about only having one bathroom. Sometime, you really need an extra toilet.

What a shitty thing to say. It could be a funeral for a family member, in which case they may be there to help plan the funeral & be there to assist the grieving family in the aftermath of it. Have some respect, will you?

The only shitty thing said here is OP bitching about their family like some entitled brat when they should be grieving and/or supporting grieving family/friends. If you don't want to stay on a floor and share a bathroom for 2 weeks don't stay for 2 weeks. Bet they'll stick around for the will reading though.

14 days is a long time to have to sleep on the floor. My back hurts just thinking about it.

There are so many solutions to this issue. 1, don't stay for 2 weeks. Funerals/ viewings rarely last longer than a couple of days. 2. Stay in a hotel, motel, extended stay, air b & b, a friends house, or rent a mobile home.
