Today, my mom's "hobby" of rescuing homeless people became very real. We now have 3 more people living in our house, and none of them have a sense of personal space. I wake up to their faces in my windows. Thanks mom. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mother moved in to my 2-bedroom apartment with me. She brought her boyfriend, 4 chihuahuas, and 2 birds with her. FML
Today, my mom’s house has several comfortable places to rest in every room. For the cats and dogs, that is. Unfortunately for me, I'm a human. FML
Today, I discovered that the reason my mom hasn't been noticing the extra cleaning I've done lately is because her boyfriend took credit when she asked about it; and was rewarded for it in bed. I helped him get with my mom. FML
Today, my flatmate moved in with me. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, so did her mother. FML
Today, while living in Florida, I had a conversation with my mother explaining that it might be best for me to come back home. Her response, "Don't worry, they have plenty of homeless shelters down there if you need a place to stay." Thanks Mom. FML
Today, after losing my job, my apartment and my man, I had to move back in with my mom, at 37. She’s a total slob; I can’t function without clean, organized spaces. So, hey, at least I have a new full-time job now: cleaning up after her. FML
Today, I suggested to my mom that, as a thank you for me taking care of her 2 dozen animals for weeks, she might get rid of the garbage heaps that have been sitting in inconvenient places for months, and also finally repair the shower in the house I rent from her. FML
Today, my mom got a new furnace put in because they found out the old one was leaking carbon monoxide. This is six months after I got kicked out because I was sleeping too much, so my mom thought I was using drugs. FML
Today, as I was riding my bike home from school, I saw a homeless man sitting on a bench. I was about to walk up to him and give him money, but before I could do anything my mother walked up and kissed him. My mom is dating this guy. FML
Today, I came home from a week-long vacation, only to find my mother-in-law didn't just dog-sit while I was gone; she moved in, along with all her possessions, and seems to think it's a permanent deal. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Nice hobby. Glad to see your mom thinks of hers and her families' safety first.

@27 shut the **** up. it's their fault their ******* hobos, so they should get a ******* job and get off their addictions. Christ, don't be such a ******* ass hole when it's the bums fault. And @ OP: stab them in they're sleep.

Actually had to sign up just for this. Among the comments there is a huge amount of ignorance, disrespect and abuse aimed at the homeless, with a relatively low amount of reasonable comments (on both sides of the line). Think a lot of people should go do some research about the causes off homelessness rather than making assumptions based on their ignorance.

True story. Look it up. Back in 1994 our then mayor's daughter adopted 2 daughters. I went to school with the older one, but we were not friends or anything, just the same age. We were 11-12 at the time, in the 6th grade. Her adopted mother also allowed some homeless or "troubled" people to stay with them. For her troubles, they were robbed, all three raped, throats slashed & the girl I went to school with was the only one to survive. Then, due to adoption problems, her grandfather the mayor could not get her. Last I heard, she became a drug addict prostitute & had a kid by 16. You best get your mom some serious help, or for the love of god, you BETTER get yourself & any children out of there.

Your mother should have her head examined. NEVER invite strangers into your home unless they are licensed contractors whom you've vetted in advance! Look what happened to Elizabeth Smart as a result of her idiot parents hiring an apparent vagrant who then figured out who lived there, what was in the house, and how to get in and out after dark. Homeless or not homeless, well, it's not even relevant here. I don't think it's too far-fetched that your mother could be charged or even have her parental rights removed as far as you are concerned. The law lets her endanger herself (which she's doing) in this manner, but not someone underage, e.g., you. I hope you will talk to someone at school about what's going on. Please, this is serious.

It depends on the TYPE of hobos - they could be the sexual fiends that get expelled from their rented home for...strange behaviour, like keeping women (or men) locked up in the back rooms.
