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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I found out that my dad has been trying to take money out of my savings account to pay for divorce fees and a hammock. 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 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
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
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. FML
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
Today, I found out my dad stole money from me when he was arrested for buying Oxycodone from an undercover cop. FML

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

I don't think the OP's father is very young. My dad is the same age (37), and I'm about to turn 20.

ur dad got married at 17?
kbaker90 0
I'm actually not sure how old he was when he married, just that he married my mom eventually. I was too young to remember.

Your Dad was 40 when you were born? That's pretty old.

It happens. My dad is 57, and I have a 7 year old sister.

Did he have to get married?

Provided it doesn't break by then, make it to where he finds it missing when you go off to college. Be sure to leave a note saying "Well, since it was paid for with MY money..." NOTE: Do not sign it.

You're dads too old.

My parents are 53 and 43. I'm 14. :P

His dad was only 23, it's not that young. And as for you, 40 is kind of old to have kids.
xDistant 13
Such judgemental people! Not only that, but seriously. Who gives a shit how old our parents were when they got knocked up or decided to have a kid.

The OP can't sue his father. Legally, parents have control over every cent their minor child makes. Up until I was 18 my parents seized all of my paychecks, and there was nothing I could do about it. Only when the OP turns 18 does he gain full legal control over his money. Until then he either needs to hope his father doesn't do this again or find a good hiding place for his money.

Ok, FML is going and deleting comments again. I wrote a reply to someone saying "Sue him", but that comment seems to have disappeared.

An XBOX costs 500 dollars? That's a bunch of money! That's a lot of lawns to mow in the hot Florida sun. (Unless, you mowed the lawns of retired rich people.)

The FML does say 'most' of the money, so it probably wasn't that much.

Fourteen years old? Get off of the internet.
WVJimbo 0
What's wrong with being on the internet when you're 14 years old?
Fop 6
Think fourteen year olds shouldn't be on the internet? Six year olds are. Get off the internet.
scateice 0
Just because there are 6 year olds on the internet doesn't make it anymore wrong for a 14 year old to be. Not that I agree...seriously people? I'm 11. Try to make a valid argument. That's like a robber saying," Why are you looking at me?! There's a murderer right over there!"

I started computering at around 10. Everybody's new once, and being a 18-year-old doesn't make you any less irritating when you are at that time. I suppose it would help to learn early as opposed to "im 20 and what is this".
ChibiChibi_fml 28
computering? That makes it sound like you were doing something very strange... I think perhaps you were thinking of computing.

xbox has Halo, COD, and Fallout 3 was released for xbox first. PS3's online may be free, but it sucks. Crap is free, but you don't eat that instead of food "Because it costs money"
