Today, I found out my dad spent most of the $500 I earned from mowing lawns on an Xbox 360 for himself. He was the one who encouraged me to put the money in the bank for college and to learn responsibility. I'm 14 years old. He's 37. FML

Today, I found out that my 50-year-old Father is the 'Sugar Daddy' to a 20-year-old. He wasted my college funds on her, which I have been dutifully saving for ever since I was 10. FML

Today, my father stole the money I'd saved up by working and spent it all gambling. I'd saved it up for a year for a new car. FML

Today, my dad called, saying he was in town and that he wanted to see me. I was excited, thinking he wanted to come see my new apartment. Turns out he just wanted to borrow my Xbox. FML

Today, I let my dad put my dollar in the slot machine for me because I'm not old enough to gamble. I won $200 but he kept it because he "put the dollar in the slot machine." FML

Family matters

Today, in response to the guy whose son told him to fuck off for disturbing his one day off a week, my son spent literally his entire savings account for a deposit on a shitbox one bedroom house because he’s sick of his dad finding him things to do every ten minutes, and I don’t even blame him.

Thievery

Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML

Today, I found out my dad tells everyone I’m still living in his house farting around on the internet. I’m a software engineer and I invest in the stock markets. I live in his house because I bought it off him when he fell behind on his own mortgage. I’ve been earning more than him since I was 22. FML

See if it's possible to locate the receipt and return it. Otherwise, sell it and pocket the money.

He'll deny this ever happened when you're an adult, start making your own money for yourself, and he comes knocking on your door for a loan.

Take it for yourself, or brick it.

When you're 18, you can move out and distance yourself from your dad. And as soon as you're able, open up another savings acct that he does not have access to.

See? You've already learned to keep your money somewhere others cannot access it. You'll thank your dad later.

On the bright side, you have an Xbox 360 now (since it was your money, he really can't get out of letting you play it too).

Wow, that sucks, kid. Better find a good hiding place for that cash in the future. And then stick your Dad in a crooked retirement home a few years from now.

your dad is selfish. unless he bought to make you think he did that and instead he is gonna give it to you as a present or something. that's what my mom did.
