Today, I found out that my grandparents are going to take my car away and sell it because they're pissed I'm moving in with my boyfriend. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the day after my grandfather's funeral, my grandmother informed me I have 30 days to move out. I've been living with them for four years, helping take care of my sick grandfather. She's already changed the locks and won't unlock the door. FML
Today, my grandparents are demanding that I come live with them because my stepmom is pregnant. They're convinced that she and my dad are going to throw me aside once the baby is born, even though I know that's not going to happen. They're even making threats. FML
Today, I found out I will be without a car for two weeks because my mother volunteered to let my grandparents use mine while theirs is being repaired. They've been in 4 accidents over the last year. FML
Today, after being kicked out of my racist family, my boyfriend and I moved across the country to rent an apartment with my sister. My mother hates us so much she offered to buy my sister a new car to not take us in. FML
Today, my grandma moved in with us. Along with her 36-year-old boyfriend that none of us knew about. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me at my grandma's funeral. FML
Today, my parents left on vacation for the week. Taking advantage of my freedom, I was planning on having my boyfriend over. My grandparents just showed up as they "thought I would be lonely." I can't get rid of them. Looks like I'm not having any fun this week. FML
Today, my parents said that we're never going to see our grandparents again because my grandpa hit my asshole little brother with a belt for calling him a boomer. I love my grandparents so much but my parents won't listen. 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 found out that my over-controlling parents would be moving in next door. I'm almost 23, and moved 5,365 km away to get away from them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If it is legally not your car unfortunately they can do that. It does seem rather childish of them.

if your name is only one on the title they can't take and sell it.

Just hide the keys?
MrsDruidess 23
It must be their car to be able to sell it, meaning they have a right to do with it as they please. If OP wants independence, it comes at a cost. Hiding the keys would only make OP look like a child. Suck it up OP and make your choice count.

Well if it's their car then it's their call. If she owned then it's a hole different story. But if we go by its her grandparents car then I agree. Suck it up and start walking or call your boyfriend to come pick you up.

depends on who's name is on the deed. if it's OP's name, the grandparents cannot do that. it's impossible. if it's the grandparent's name, OP can't do anything

Take away their car and tell them they're grounded

They want some of that boyfriend action
OysterPearls 33
But they don't want OP to be getting any.

Grandma is probably jealous of that bangin hot boyfriend she has ;)

Wow, that sucks. Sorry OP.

Why is this getting down voted?
IAmzephyr 22
idk, maybe because it wasn't adding to the conversation. a simple 'your life sucks' vote says the same thing, really

Well who's the one paying for insurance, registration, maintenance, and the car itself?
LifeMD 14
Doesn't matter who's paying for everything, all that matters is who is the registered owner on the title.

And I doubt it is op or they would get in tremendous trouble for selling it

Legally yes, that's all that matters. But if you're the one working to pay for the car I don't think it's fair that you don't have rights to it. I'd say they need to stop paying for it. Personally I don't feel if your grandparents are paying for your car that you are responsible enough to move in with your boyfriend/girlfriend.

It really doesn't matter if it's fair or not. They are selling it anyway because they can. If OP wanted to keep the car, she should've gotten it in her own name. I feel bad for her and don't believe she deserves it, but there are consequences for every action.

Dang, well that probably has to do with how they were raised and what their mind set is at. Can't blame them.
vampire623 6
Yea it is they where raised inn a time when girls did not move in with a guy unless they where married you can't blame them for going by what they are use to

They seem like traditional, old grandparents who think it's a sin to move in with a romantic partner prior to marriage. Keh.

If it's their car then they have every right to. Maybe you shouldn't move out until you can afford a car.

Throw the keys off a bridge. Say your dog ate them. Hopefully they don't try and have them surgically removed.
tantanpanda 26
I think the dog would get an x-ray before they would perform a surgery. Who would cut open a dog before knowing the location of the keys?

But then OP still doesnt have a car, and has to pay for an xray.
