Today, my son's homework was to write a story about what he wants to be when he grows up. He wrote that he plans on being unemployed and living at home until we throw him out, then he'll live under a bridge. He's only 12, but already planning for a future as an unemployed bum. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my son's teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He put down "unemployed". FML
Today, my son told me that he doesn't need to go to school because he doesn't need a job. It turns out he plans to get a life sentence in prison and live the rest of his life at the taxpayers' expense. FML
Today, I walked in on my son flopping around on the floor with a blanket wrapped around his legs. Apparently at age 22, he'd rather pretend to be a mermaid than go out and get a damn job. FML
Today, I got an angry call from my 7-year-old son's school. It turned out that while doing a "what I want to be when I'm older" assignment, he wrote that he wants to be an internet troll so he can make people mad and make them kill themselves. FML
Today, I saw my unemployed 29-year-old son, who still lives with us, reading the work section of the newspaper and prayed that he was looking for a job. He was looking for the comics. FML
Today, I once again told my son he needed a job and a girlfriend because I simply could not keep him in my house anymore. He yelled, "No, I can do whatever I want!" Then went back to playing video games. He's 38. FML
Today, as I was leaving home for my mall kiosk job, my dad asked me where I was off to. When I said I was going to work, he tossed an empty beer bottle to the floor, belched, and said "Bah! Get a REAL job!" He's unemployed and living in my apartment. FML
Today, my son's plan is to become an entrepreneur, even though this requires having a brilliant idea worth money. This is the same guy who got fired from Subway for deliberately dropping bread on the floor so he could steal it from the bin later. I'm gonna kick him in the asscrack before the month is over, I know it. FML
Today, my son hates people so much he's working three jobs to be able move out and pay for his own place. He got the keys today and when I asked if he was having a housewarming party, he told me he’s not giving his address out to anyone, and no one is invited, ever, not even me. FML
Today, my son apparently has no interest in having a life. He goes from his tiny one-bed flat to work, then back home again to play with his computer. It’s a good job, so he can afford a life, but he has no friends, never dates or goes anywhere, he even gets his shopping delivered. What can I do? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ambitious much? Don't worry, 12-years olds think they're simply amazing, and he probably thought it was hilarious.

He's just not motivated. "/

Don't be a bad parent and squash his ambitions. Look at the bright side: at least he didn't add herion addict/alcoholic to his future goals as well.

He's 12. He doesn't know what the hell to do with his testosterone and all those hormones, he's young, don't worry, it'll change, maybe with a bit of force it might help speed up the process, but be nice about it. My son is 16, and he didn't want to work at all. Even at a young age, he somehow figured out in his mind of how he wanted to live his life, unemployed; because he was so used to mom and dad paying for everything. I forced him to get a job, and now that money is a motivation in his life and the hormones were starting to settle a bit, it changed everything. But I promise you that hormones is a big part of why he's writing that way, it will change, and you're the parent, you can make that wish NOT come true, until they're legally able to make their own decisions, than it becomes their problem. He'll thank you one day. When my son was 12, he was negative like that. When I was in jr high I never wanted a job, like every kid. However, I do find it quite hilarious how he wrote a story about being an unemployed bum, that's a story you tell at his wedding.

at least he knows what he wants to do and has realistic goals. most 12 year olds want to be cowboy firefighters on the moon or something stupid like that. I say support him

it may be stupid, but at least firefighters get paid and have a good reputation and a life doing something good for everybody's sake. When it comes to cowboys, that isn't a bad dream to have. - - and how is being an unemployed bum a realistic goal? that's not a goal, that's being lazy.
