Today, my mom gave me my Christmas gift. It was a letter containing $200 and a note saying, "Here's the down payment for your apartment, please just move out already." I turned 18 last week. Thanks mom. FML

Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I decided it was time to start looking for my own place and finally gain my full independence. My mom agreed happily without hesitation, which was surprising, but not anywhere near as surprising as finding out I have one day to get my shit together and leave. FML
Today, I found out that the $200 I reluctantly gave to my mother so she could rent a house was paid to a scammer. Now she wants to live with me, in my one bedroom apartment. FML
Today, my mother told me how she managed to afford all of the expensive Christmas presents we got. She took out extra money when applying for my student loans. FML
Today, on my 21st birthday, my dad handed me £12,000 and revealed he’d been saving my rent. When I asked what for, he told me it was to rent my first house because now I’m 21, he’s throwing my ass out. Neither me or nor my mom could talk him round, and unless I’m out by next week, he’ll start smashing my possessions. FML
Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML
Today, it's my birthday, and my present is that my mom is coming over to see me so that she can borrow three hundred dollars. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. The only gift I got was a bill from my parents. Apparently, the rent is due on the 1st. FML
Today, my mother sat me down and told me, "I'm not going to lie, I hate living with you. Please get a job and move out." I'm 16. FML
Today, I came home to find that my mother had cleaned my room, and she'd done a very good job, too. So good in fact, that she even managed to remove all of the furniture, replacing it with a note that said, "It's time to go, sweetie XO". FML
Today, my mom gave me thirty days notice to find an apartment and move out. Why? She's dating my former best friend and wants to move him in, but he won't do it until I'm gone because it would be "awkward." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow, where can you get an apartment that only has a $200 down payment? (where I live at least) Down payments are usually $800-$1400 even for a one bedroom. FYL because your mom wants to kick you out of her home and into the ghetto. lol

That's horrible! You're still 18! I don't understand why some parents are so eager to have their children gone.

What does age have to do with spelling ability? Big deal! You're on the internet. People can spell however the **** they want. (Grammar matters in addition to spelling. If you don't want to come across as a complete and total moron, fix these factors and work on syntax and sentence structure also.)

Tell her you'll need another $1400. Down payment = First + Last months rent + security deposit

haha maybe she don't mean it in that way, it's hard to tell a person's tone by just looking at words.

That's not enough for a down payment on an apartment. Ask your mom for more money!

Well YDI if you are a complete brat to your parents and make their live's a misery living there. But FYL if they're old fashioned and think teenagers today should just leave home without an education to a hight level and/or a well paying job to afford their housing.

Expecting your kids to be independent once they become an adult is not old-fashioned. It's called being a good parent who wants their kids to lead healthy independent lifestyles. That being said, kicking someone out right when they turn 18 is rather harsh. Although, I don't think she can legally kick him out until he graduates high school. He can just save up as much as possible until then.

Are you serious? there are places all over the united states with apts cheap that are not in the ghetto. Apts in my town run higher because of the military base, next big city over you can find a cheaper deal by a couple hundred dollars. It all depends on where you live. Get out there more. Besides the $200 is just a deposit so if she tears anything up, there's no telling how much rent is a month. I guess my main point is; it seems like your getting at she's poor which is okay seeing as she is only 18 so don't seem so hateful.

that's nowhere near enough for a down payment for an apartment. she's gonna have to do better if she really wants you out.
