Today, I finally got the nerve to tell my parents that I'm no longer going to pay them a flat percent of my salary, but only what they need to cover my expenses. Their response: "Better find a place of your own then, you freeloading bastard." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally told my dad that he owes me over 400 dollars, and that I need it or else I'd get kicked out of my apartment. He only gave me 70 and said to get a better job. FML
Today, after a fight with my parents, I told them I was running away. They said, "Good. Now we have less to pay in child support." FML
Today, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML
Today, I talked to my husband about leaving his parents' house. He said, and I quote, ''No. I don't want the responsibility of paying bills.'' FML
Today, I got a 15% pay raise. My parents responded by saying, “Congratulations! You can now forget about online shopping packages coming in on a weekly basis and start chipping in for rent and utilities!” FML
Today, I finally summoned the courage to ask my dad to pay me as he promised, after I cut the lawn and cleaned all the house windows last week. His response was, "Get fucked." FML
Today, I was offered a job that pays far more than I expected, being a high school senior. My parents decided they aren't letting me take the job, saying I should enjoy my childhood. They're also not paying for my college, which is why I was looking for work in the first place. FML
Today, my parents decided to finally kick me out of the house because they've gotten tired of seeing me "sleep around all day and being so lazy" whenever I'm home. I'm currently triple-shifting for 6 days a week. FML
Today, my parents said they were cutting me off for saving a kitten's life and wanting to keep it. I am 40 years-old and don't get any money from them. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML

I see how that would make sense. Why pay for more than you're using or for more than you need? I see your point OP.

I don't know whether to vote for YDI or FYL on this one. I can get the YDI vote (go find your own place then!!!), but a percentage?!? That seems like an odd way to pay to live anywhere.

I'm 50/50 here. FYL for them saying that to you, since it's very hard to find an affordable place these days, but YDI for not paying them because they ARE still letting you live there. Although, yeah they should only be paying for your expenses, and not getting a percentage of your salary. Too many unknown variables here.

The OP IS paying though to cover his/her own expenses. They are just refusing to pay for more than they are using.

Shouldn't they be paying for the room and stuff too?

Depends on what you mean by covering yourself. I paid 500 a month for a room, and another 100 for food, so if you're paying less than 600, you have no right to complain.
