Today, my parents decided to finally kick me out of the house because they've gotten tired of seeing me "sleep around all day and being so lazy" whenever I'm home. I'm currently triple-shifting for 6 days a week. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
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 got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. 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 live in the basement and as far as I can tell, my parents spend every day rearranging the furniture upstairs and slamming every door in the house, all day long. If I complain or even mention the noise, they threaten to kick me out onto the streets. I’m not even old enough to move out. FML
Today, I finally got the nerve to tell my parents that I'm no longer going to pay them a flat percent of my salary, but only what they need to cover my expenses. Their response: "Better find a place of your own then, you freeloading bastard." 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
Today, as usual, my parents hate to see me relax. Every time I'm not working, doing a sport, or doing chores, I must be working on some form of education to keep them at bay. Today, I had the day off and caught up on schoolwork. My parents woke me up at 6 AM by running the vacuum outside my door. "Go mow the lawn, you slob." FML
Today, my mom got drunk and told me to leave the house because "I've been mooching off her for too long". I'm 14 and now am sleeping at my friends house. 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
Today, my parents threw a hissy fit calling me ungrateful and disrespectful for wanting to do laundry and clean at home, instead of going out to their friends' house for dinner. They also disconnected the Internet to punish me when they left. I'm 20 and visiting home on a college break. FML

Only working 6 days a week? I don't blame your parents, clearly you should be working all 7..

I'm thinking that by triple shifting, you should be earning a buttload of overtime With that extra money you should be able to get in your own place. I wish you well.

Hopefully some friends can help out!!! Maybe you could find somewhere cheap to live? I dunno, I really wish you the best of luck OP! I rent a room, it's cheap and I help pay for what I use and food, it's a cheap way to live for me as I'm a student. Maybe you could rent a room/flat share? For £300 a month I have a room and that £300 pays for the bills as well such as electric, gas and wifi. I'm lucky that it's furnished as well and any other furniture I needed (a desk for my PC for college work) I got from a FreeCycle website. I don't know if what I've written here will help, but it's just an idea :) My flatmate doesn't mind that I'm not in a lot either, I do a lot of extra curricular work with the college (student association, LGBT and equality/diversity officer) so when I am in I'm in my room working or sleeping, thankfully my flatmate is understanding.

Those prices don't exist in the US.

£300 is about $600-$700 (don't quote me on that. It's been a while since I looked at the exchange rate). Those prices do exist in the US. Especially for single room in a shared apartment.

I'm in the same sort of boat, OP. I work the night shift and live with my parents for now because I can't afford to live on my own with my current job. They're constantly angry with me because I sleep late (again, I work the night shift) and I sit around a lot at home (my job is physical and I'm exhausted all the time). **** 'em, they've either forgotten or never knew what it's like to have an unconventional job situation.

I totally understand you. I work the night shift as well, though I don't live with my parents I do share a house with my sister (yes we own not rent). My mother and step father (who live next door) are always like "you went to bed at 8am and up at 4pm? Are you mental get more sleep! Be outside don't lift that I'll do it!" And stuff like that. Whereas my father and step mother are the complete opposite. Where they would want to hang out or have a chore for me at like noon and I am asleep so don't respond to them and they call me lazy. Speaking of which I really need to go to sleep now.

perhaps just explain it to them. theyre probably expecting you to help out at home. a simple explanation and schedule can resolve this issue

They didn't give you some sort of warning first? Like, help out around the house or you're leaving...instead of just throwing you out?

If you're working that much then you obviously have enough to move out, what were you waiting forrrr
