Today, my youngest of four children turned 18. It was also the same day that my ex-wife called to tell me that after 18 years of paying child support, I wasn't the father. FML

Today, I turned 17. My parents completely forgot it was my birthday, and when I reminded them, my dad thought it was my 18th. He was ecstatic and mentioned that I can "finally get the hell out." FML

I'm a rebel, mom!
Today, my son is going through a rebellious phase. He's taken to wearing leather and chains, listening to death metal music all day in his room alone, and screaming at me in public places. He was fired from his part-time job for swearing at customers. My son is 29 years old. FML

Today, my dad asked me to stop calling him "dad" because it’s too weird for his girlfriend’s kids to hear, because they call him dad. FML

Today, I was nice to my son's friend. He's 27 and needs to get a life, so now he won't stop texting me and flirting. I will have to escort him back, not just to the "friend zone", but to the "I'm twice your age and your friend's mom zone." FML

Today, it's my 18th birthday. I was telling my friends a story when my mom started talking. I simply said 'Mom...' so she'd realize she interrupted me. She gave me the finger and called me rude in front of all my friends. FML

Today, my son had a screaming meltdown because I told him to clean his own room and that I refuse to be treated like his personal maid. He’s 16. FML

Today, on my 18th birthday, my mom told me the man I thought was my father for 18 years was actually not my father, and my real father was in prison for murder. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday and my dad has decided to take away my ID in fear that if I have even one drink to celebrate I'll become a raging alcoholic. FML

Yeet the kid
Today, my son no longer tries to sneak in and out of the house at inappropriate times. Now, he just brazenly walks out, ignoring me when I ask where he’s going, then walks back in at like 4 in the morning, and again ignores me because he’s still on his phone to someone. FML

Start charging rent since he doesn’t want to treat you like his parent anymore

As long as you are now on an equal basis, then make it equal all the way. Tell him now that you are equals he pays rent and for anything else he gets (food, car, etc.). And no more allowance, now that he is a big independent guy.

Call him 'Little Shit' until he gives up.

Me, too. Tell him that if he doesn’t start respecting you, and he isn’t too old to go over your knee

Call him by an embarrassing nickname that you used to call him when he was a baby every time he does that.

Me: “Mr Anderson surprised to see me?” My dad: “No.” Me: “Then your aware of it?” My dad: “Of what?” Me: “Our connection. Our connection. I don't fully understand how it happened, perhaps some part of you imprinted onto me, something overwritten or copied. it is at this point irrelevant, what matters is that whatever happened, happened for a reason...” My dad .... 😩

Next time he needs something, tell him he should ask his dad.

Start calling him "bro" or "dude"...whenever he asks for something you say out loud "Lol, homey!" or " You so gangstaaaa". (Nice side effect if it doesn't help: You have a bro, homey, dude from now on! No need to go outside to hang out with your fav gangsta dude! You so rad now!)
