Today, I moved back in with my parents in order to help them with the mortgage, so they don't lose the house that has been in our family for three generations. I also found out that I now have a curfew, and so does my husband and our 3 year old son. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I moved in with my parents because I can't afford to live on my own. I now pay 100% of the bills and can't leave because I can't save to replace my stolen/totaled car. I also can't drop my mask at home because 33 is apparently to old to be autistic, and I'm so tired and burnt out. I'm also not allowed to sleep. FML
Today, my parents have separated. I stayed with them, living at home far too long for my own comfort, just to help them keep it together after they lost their remaining parents. Literally the month after I moved out, they decided it wasn't worth it. I now suspect they stayed together only because I still lived at home. FML
Today, I let my estranged husband move back in with my son and me. Later, his pregnant and underage girlfriend knocked on my door, crying about how her mom kicked her out. I'm such a pushover, they're in my bed and I'm on the couch. FML
Today, I moved out of my parents' house and started living alone. All of a sudden, my parents started requiring me to text or call them every 5 minutes to tell them where I am and what I'm doing, from 6am to 12am every day. If I don't, they will go looking for me, and force me to move back in with them. FML
Today, I have no choice but to move back in with my mom and her husband, who are still married even though he's responsible for the house fire that killed my two younger brothers in 2013. FML
Today, I had to admit to everyone, including my cable guy, that I'm moving back in with my parents. FML
Today, marks the third time this month my parents came to visit. I moved 5 hours away to get away from them. FML
Today, after months of telling my parents I was going to live on my own, I finally moved out. Not even 24 hours being out of their house, some reject burned down the apartment complex I live in. Guess who's moving back home. FML
Today, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? FML
Today, I visited my dad. He gave the, "You live under my roof, you follow my rules" lecture since I didn't do my "chores". I moved out 3 years ago. FML

I would tell my parents that either they can give me the adult freedoms I now have or I'm leaving and they can be homeless for all I care.

uhh 3 generations and still not mortgage free? what is it a multi million dollar house? :/
girlingreen 3
The parents could have taken a mortgage out on the house for something expensive, like medical bills, or the child's schooling. Basically you get a mortgage is a loan from the bank, if you can't pay them back they'll take your house.
RedPillSucks 33
Exactly, people get home equity lines of credit, which is basically like a 2nd mortgage. The house is collateral.

Hahahahaha @60. Emo kids make comebacks so easy.

Simple, buy the house your parents obviously cannot afford anymore and let them live-in to support you and your family.... and then you give them a curfew.

big whoop, it's just a curfew. suck it up.

Agree with 160. I feel sad for you if your parents didn't do everything they could to help you and you don't feel they deserve the favor back.

If she has a curfew, I am surprised she is allowed to sleep in the same bed as her husband. Considering she is being treated like a twelve year old.

There is no way I could move back in with my parents after having a family.

Probably to be treated with some respect, seeing as OP is an adult with a family and is nice enough to help out her parents this much? :)
Arsonnist 3
Seems like OP cares more about the sentimental value of the house than her parents being homeless.
st0815 9
It's not about being homeless, they could sell it and rent a cheaper place. The house they are in now is apparently larger than what they need - they wouldn't have found space for their daughter's family, otherwise.

a three year old should already have a curfew

They may have set the curfew so they wouldn't wake up with the door opening, I'm just wondering how they managed to not have finished paying the house for 3 generations . . .

This, exactly! I think OP should remind her parents that without her help they would have no place so they ought to chill out.

remove the shrink wrap from your balls and stand up for yourself pussyboy
FYLDeep 26
Why are you calling her a boy, and why are you even suggesting that she has balls?
pooper19 3
she's a tranny I know her
DocBastard 40
FYLDeep - I suppose the "so does my husband" escaped pooper's attention.
pooper19 3
the thing that didnt escape my attention was that you stay at home all day looking online for a job to support your bankrupt family. But instead of working you would rather post rude comments on FML to make you feel better about the shitty life that you & your family have thanks Doc
DocBastard 40
Thanks for the uplifting comment, pooper. Now I'm going to go cry in my Lexus. Just FYI, the "Doc" in "DocBastard" isn't an exaggeration. Feel stupid now?
green_eyes124 0
haha I almost stuck up for you doc and then I thought to myself 'whatever doc says will be so much more effective and funny.' so I left it alone and I'm so glad I did.
pooper19 3
1) no respectable doctor would waste their time correcting and getting off on teens bad grammar 2) I'm sure u do have a Lexus its probably 15 yrs old with 10k still owed on it 3) I suggest that you get up from your parents basement, get in your Lexus & write yourself a prescription for a new life b/c u obviously hate yours. 4) sorry I'm late on child support
DocBastard 40
Pooper, your nickname is accurate even if your allegations are not. But your comments are quite funny, and I'm glad you're having fun making them. I certainly enjoy the laugh, so keep them coming. And if you're wondering about all the other stuff, I won't dignify it with a retort. All I'll tell you is that I love my wife, my daughter, and my life.

Seriously? WTF. Who moves back in with their parents? OP, you have issues.
thriceforme 3
Did you not read the FML completely, you twit? I think the reason was pretty evident from early on...
SARSvirus79 0
Um, pretty sure it's to save their home...
machiko_fml 0
I did read it. Nonetheless, its their parents fault. OP, shouldn't take responsibility for their faults and then get a curfew.
TheIrishJaneDoe 9
You can't say for sure the parents are at fault. Maybe they needed a loan to pay for medical bills or something. Regardless of fault, though, the OP isn't just bailing her family out; she's helping to protect her inheritance and part of her family's heritage. In the long run, that's got to be worth the hassle of setting some boundaries and fighting for more independence now.
Snake867 1
I have to agree with #77, it's the parents fault for getting behind on their mortgage. If OP is ok with moving back in with her parents then she obviously has some of her own troubles in her life, cause I would never move back in....no matter what!
Seba_2020 0
they abviously couldnt afford helping with the mortgage and paying there own bills at their own house so they had to move in duh
letmeinplease 0
*Sighs* Why does this site give me the impression that an overriding chunk of Americans are so overwhelmingly fixated on 'independence' and 'self sufficiency' that they have lost all sense of family or general social connectedness? Personally I think it's pretty dysfunctional to be unable to envisage ever helping out your parents pr living with them.

bullcrap - if it's been in your family for 3 generations there shouldn't be a mortgage
thriceforme 3
That's not true. They could have a mortgage on improvements they made to the home...because it's been in the family for generations.

people will take loans out with their house as collateral. probably what her parents did
