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

Then what's the problem? Clearly you can afford an apartment.

My family has an issue with me sleeping all day when I'm home too. In my case it's just my depression and social anxiety knocking me out so I can recharge after a week in a call centre with people yelling at me all day.

I totally understand. I think we're kind of in the same boat. I've been off my anti-deps for a few months (not my choice) and all I want to do is lay in bed. Like I don't want to move hardly. And my family knows the whole situation, how bad I was and everything and still I get the, "Well I worked ____ hours today, what did you do?" It's annoying! Especially because when I do have good days and feel like getting up I help out but dealing with them being judgmental is exhausting, and just trying to live life is exhausting. The depression/anxiety struggle is real.

I had to deal with this shit too. I was working 2 part time jobs, one as a shift manager at a pizza restaurant, the other as a cashier at an electronics store, and a third job that was a freelance animator with my own hours, all while going to school part time. I was home for about 8 hours a day, 2-3 hours of which I spent working on my animation job, and the remaining I spent sleeping. My stepmom lost her shit saying I was lazy and freeloading and that I left the kitchen a mess (despite not being home often enough to ever use the kitchen) and then she argued with my dad who then kicked me out. The reason why I worked so much was that I was trying to save up for transferring to a 4 year university because my parents couldn't afford to help with tuition. Now I live on my own, still work a ton, but can't afford school because rent.

That sucks, OP. I recently got kicked out of my mothers house, so I am living with my father now, since I am only 17. I got kicked out for an argument we had. She's usually drunk and she rarely ever has food in the house and she is always mistreating me and my little sister so I finally got fed up with hearing my sister cry every night because of it and I went off on her. Now I'm really worried about my sister being there alone but my mother won't let her leave. It's a tough situation.

Could you perhaps try and get your dad to claim custody of your sister? Or is he not her biological father?

A shift is 8 hours, 3x8=24, your trying to say you don't sleep for 6 days!?
HoobidibooFox 11
Sometimes shifts can be 4 or even 6 hours long instead, making it a maximum of 18 hours if so, if not then 12 hours. This is in England though, so I can't know about the US. Generally companies make shifts as long as they can without having to give a break. The amount of time working without a break used to be a maximum of 4 hours in England and is now 6 hours so the workplaces create shifts accordingly.
