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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, wanting to do something nice for my dad, I mowed the lawn. He grounded me for "emasculating" him. FML
Today, I thought I would surprise my dad by mowing our entire two acre lawn. When he got home, instead of being grateful like I had hoped, he yelled at me for cutting in vertical lines instead of horizontal. FML
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, I lost my patience and asked the deadbeat I loaned money to last year to please pay up. His response: "Blow me." No thanks, dad. FML
Today, after shoveling one guy's steps, sidewalk, and driveway for two hours straight, I went to ask for my money. He said, "Work is its own reward!" and shut the door in my face. FML
Today, my dad offered to pay me $40 to wash his car. Needing money to buy a video game, I agreed, and went out in the freezing weather to do the job. I finished the task, only to be paid in Monopoly money. My dad still hasn't gotten over how "funny" his prank was. FML
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
Today, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. FML
Today, my dad asked if I'd help him clean the gutters. I was given the responsibility of holding the ladder while he went on the roof. All I heard was laughter before a year's worth of rotting vegetation landed on top of my head. FML
Today, I finally confronted my father about how rude and tactless he is. It wasn't until I'd finished my rant that I realized he was ignoring me. He then told me to get him something to drink. I replied, "Since you asked so rudely, you can go get it yourself." As soon as I'd said that, he grunted and repeated himself. FML

Tell him that if he would rather pay for a prostitute... ^.^ Sorry your dad is a jerk OP. Next time he asks your to help say no I suppose.

It sucks but if you live in his house you should be doing chores without expecting anything but a roof and food.

Well done assuming you know OP. For all you know, she works hard and earns her keep. She could be looking for a job every single day, or she could be a teenager who does well in school. FYL OP, I know someone else who's father acts like this. It's a pretty bad example of parenting.

What is it with all the posts about immature parents these days? Sorry OP, your dad is a jerk. Are you old enough to get a job outside the home? Getting out and getting away from the situation beats getting ******.

Write a contract next time op. And tell him not to swear at you, verbal abuse.

I once knew a group of idiots who thought gay meant you liked boys so they went around calling themselves gay and calling guys lesbians. Serious facepalm moment.

That's bs. You have absoutely no information on the household situation. If I promised my son he would get money for doing something, I owe him the promised amount. What kind of example do you set for your children if you teach them a promise means nothing? Really? Is that what you want to teach your children?

OP was just asking for the money that was PROMISED. Don't make a promise if you're gonna go back on it for a reason like "Get ******."

Respond "that's why I need the money. Your girlfriend doesn't come cheap." normally I'd say wife, but trying to avoid *********** here.
