Today, despite the fact that I live with my parents and pay rent, my mom decided the best spot for my brother, his wife and one-year-old son was my bedroom. So I'm sleeping on the couch, because it would, "take too long to clean her room." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, in my mom’s house, I can stay in one of two rooms: The one that's clean, tidy, quiet and has a comfortable seat… or the one that's warm. FML
Today, I had to temporarily relocate to my brother's room after mine was being repainted. Not only do I have to sleep on the floor, but I also have to put up with my brother and dog both snoring loudly. What's worse is that they alternate in snoring. Goodbye sleep. FML
Today, I found my 15-year-old son sleeping on the couch. I asked why, and he said he'd rented his room out to someone on Craigslist to make extra money, so he was getting used to sleeping in the living room instead. FML
Today, I had to clean out my room because I was having a sleepover. Only, I've not been in here for months since I've spent every night in my mom's room because I'm too scared to sleep alone. FML
Today, after losing my job, my apartment and my man, I had to move back in with my mom, at 37. She’s a total slob; I can’t function without clean, organized spaces. So, hey, at least I have a new full-time job now: cleaning up after her. FML
Today, after hitting hard times and needing a place to stay, I'd asked my sister for help to which she sent me a paragraph-long response about how it would break their lease if they had people live there, leading me to sleep on a friend's couch, I found out our tweaker mom started staying at my sisters and didn't leave for 6 months. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mom is talking shit about me to anyone who will listen, all because I refused to stay at her house and help her with a few chores she said she would pay me for. She keeps leaving out the part where I saw dozens of bed bugs not even 5 minutes after I got there. FML
Today, my parents are calling me a spoilt brat and threatening to disown me if I don't let my sister, her six kids, and freshly out of jail boyfriend move into the house I spent 10 years working my ass off to buy without having a mortgage. Sis said I can sleep on the lounge as long as I pay rent. FML
Today, I was helping my dad move into his new house. It's a 4-bedroom house and he has three kids so it's perfect. I was wandering around and noticed that the first bedroom is his, the second is my older brother's, the third is my younger sister's, and the fourth is an office. I have no room. FML
Today, I moved in with my brother to save on a swanky apartment. I was skeptical as to how this would work out as we fought a lot as kids. Our first big fight? Whether or not to keep his dorm-style futon complete with Return of the Jedi sheets. He's a 35-yr old physician; I'm a 28-yr old lawyer. FML

So clearly you now get to ask your rent money back from those people living in your room and stop paying rent until you get back the living space you're asked to pay for. Don't let them walk all over you.

One would think that paying rent would give the person a bit of say. Besides the brother and his family could have gotten a motel room

They are guests, they get the bed. And you may pay rent, but it is not your house. Also, what kinda of a$$hat wants to put a couple and their baby in the living on the couch.

There are guests, then there is family that dont have to inconvenience you without your say.

They're her parents' guests, not hers. She's paying rent so the patents can't just put other people into her room that she pays for. Even worse that the only reason for that is that her mom is too lazy to clean her own room.

That's when you drastically reduce the amount of rent you pay and tell your parents you refuse to pay rent on the room they forced you to give up.

THAT IS WHAT YOU DO FOR FAMILY. Unless they’re staying for an extended period of time this is hardly an FML.

Yea what you do for family is inviting people over and throw your child out to sleep on the couch just so that you don't have to clean your own room. Makes sense.

Find new landlords.

I guess that during this time the level of rent you are paying is going to be reduced.

Are they just visiting? Get over it. Moving in? Yeah I'd have an issue. How old are you?

As long as they are they don’t pay rent. Problem solved. Shave off any money you want for the inconvenience. As landlords they can’t do that to you because you’re their child. They’d be in the wrong if you were a stranger & they’re in the wrong now.

1. Ur a bum sounds like. 2 if you can afford rent move out. 3. 3 people can’t sleep on a couch 4. Why are you still living with your parents if they treat you like this?
