Today, I found my concert tickets that I've been trying to find for the last 2 weeks in my mom's closet. When I asked why she had them, she said she felt the concert was inappropriate for me so she hid them. I'm 20. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me Kings of Leon tickets for my birthday. Since he thought I was irresponsible, he gave the tickets to his mum so I wouldn't lose them. The show is today, and we can't find the tickets. FML
Today, I found out that my mom goes through my garbage. I'm 25 and don't live with her. FML
Today, I told my mom about the $50 I'd hidden in case of an emergency, and how I couldn't find it. She said she'd borrowed it last week. FML
Today, I left a concert with my drunk mother who had spilled beer all over my shirt. I drove her home and she slept it off. Later, my mom "found" my shirt in the laundry and grounded me for drinking behind her back. She won't believe me that it was her. FML
Today, I found out my mom can't wait until I turn 18, so she can kick me out and turn my room into a huge closet for all her clothes. FML
Today, I got on a two hour train ride to go to a concert. I had been so caught up in handling the train tickets that halfway to the concert, I realized I had left the concert tickets on my dresser. FML
Today, I gave my ex-girlfriend two concert tickets to show her I still care about her and want to win her back. She sold them. FML
Today, my dad was given 2 VIP tickets to see my favourite band in concert next week. You can now find them on eBay. FML
Today, I was helping my mom look for some money she'd misplaced. At my wit's end, I flipped through her diary, in case she'd hidden it between the pages as she has before. Didn't find the money, but I did find out she might well be cheating on my dad. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Is it normal to move out by 20 in America then, because it's not in the UK, college and 'economy' or not. Also, I wonder why they editted the part about the concert being yesterday and costing $300...hmm

@53, many move away from home when they go to college. They might come home for the summer, but that's about it.

uhm, why would people say this person needs to move out when they're only 20 years old? it's not that unusual to still live with your parents when you are only 20 years old. You're still in your first stages of university/college then. Costs a hell of a lot less than paying for an apartment or dorm. Jesus. It's not like we all need to separate ourselves from our parents when we turn 18.

53 - no its pretty normal for normal bits to move out at an early age, only the kids with rich parents stay at home and freeload while they get their education (paid by their parents ofc). This is why the UK is so ****** up. id rather be anywhere else than here, the rich kids get everything, the poor kids get turned into chavs, and the real hardworking people get **** ALL! maybe ive had one too many...

#56 - Here, it's not the rich kids who stay at home and "freeload" while they get their education. For example, my education and my brothers education are being completely paid for by ourselves, with no help from our parents whatsoever. They offer us a roof over our head so we don't have to waste unnecessary money on an apartment. We are by no means "freeloaders". We are actually the ones with less money.

Everyone says "move out" but I'm pretty sure a good chunk of you will still live at home at 20. It's hilarious how people say move out and laugh just because it's what they think is right- when in reality, most people stay at home until around 25, and they're BETTER OFF FOR IT.

57 - most people with rich families get it easier....they get cars bought for them because its "easier to travel" , they get education paid if they cant land a simple job, and they get free accommodation..what about the people that do not have this kind of privilege, the ones that have the mental ability but have no financial backing? this is why its all ****** up..the rich kids with money find it easier to get jobs etc becuase of the things that are open to them...i cant really explain, it dosnt sound like your the type in question but you have to admit the sheer number of people thinking they can just mooch.
