Today, my mom scolded me and threatened to ground me for coming home past midnight. Normally, it wouldn't be unreasonable, except for the fact that I'm 24 years-old, and that my parents live with me, in my own house. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home at 1am this morning from a friend's birthday party. I'm 30 years old. FML
Today, I came home at 1 am to find my mom sitting on my couch, ranting about how I'm not supposed to stay up this late. I'm 26 and I don't know how she got into my house. FML
Today, I told my mom about the couple of times that I'd skipped classes during high school. She got really mad and grounded me for a month. That would usually be normal except for the fact that I'm 27 and live in my own apartment. FML
Today, I was grounded by my mom because I had slept in past 11, when she wanted me to wake up at seven to do chores. According to her logic, I should have seen the note she left on the counter earlier this morning. FML
Today, my mom lost an argument and tried to ground me. I’m 43 years-old and own my own house, so yes, she actually tried to tell me to stay grounded in my own house. FML
Today, my mom tried to ground me. In the apartment that I own. Because I didn't eat enough of the dinner that I'd made. FML
Today, my mother and I got into an argument, and she told me to go to my room. I refused, prompting her to slap the shit out of me. I'm 29, and she was visiting me at my own house. FML
Today, I got yelled at by my mother for making noise after midnight. What was the noise? The microwave as I made something to eat. I work the night shift and had just come home from work, and I'm the only person in this house with a job. Apparently, me not paying her overdue bills cancels that out. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, my parents threatened to take away my college funds. Why? Because I complained about my 10 pm curfew during break as a freshman in college. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Threaten to give them a curfew if they insist on insulting you in your own home.

She was probably just worried about you. That's what moms do.

Haha that's exactly what I'm saying.. I know I'm gonna be like that with my boys when they get older. Well probably not threaten to ground them but scold them, most definitely lol

I think it's time to kick them out...or at least your mom. That's a little ridiculous

Leave brochures laying around of various nursing homes.... Maybe they will get the hint.

It sounds like you should sit them down and have a talk about boundaries.

Be my hero and give her the "as long as you live under my roof" speech we all heard when we were kids!

But now you can turn the tables and say "WHILE YOU'RE UNDER MY ROOF..."

Your roof, your rules. You need to set some boundaries for them if they are living in your house. They seem to be having a problem understanding that you're an adult and that they live in your house. Its a role reversal that is probably difficult but they need to accept the reality of the situation. Good luck getting it straightened out OP.

Your house, your rules.

I bet it's embarrassing for them having to depend upon their child like that. Perhaps it's a way of trying to assert control again, and restore what they might see as the "status quo". Not fun for you, and really frustrating, but it might be worth talking about with them.
