Today, I realized that even though I was an honor student throughout school, and considered the golden child who was going to go far in life, all I've accomplished a year after graduation is becoming an unemployed single mother still living with my parents. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after several long years, a lot of debt, and two great degrees from a top university, I had to move back in with my parents, because no matter where I look, I can't find a job. FML
Today, my mother once again called me to remind me what a disappointment I am despite having two degrees, a house, a professional job and having never been unemployed at 25. FML
Today, I found out my mom had been telling everyone how independent I was and just wanted to be left alone. I was homeless when I graduated valedictorian from high school and wondering why no one would let me stay with them, even when it was snowing. Now I know. FML
Today, I realised that I wasted my teenage life just to be a parent pleaser. I'm in the final months of high school and while everyone is enjoying the last days, I'm sat here being a "good" son, listening to my parents argue, maybe divorcing. I'm in tears and can't go out as I'm not invited to anything anymore. FML
Today, I am one year away from getting a university degree. Unfortunately, my parents just kicked me out because I wouldn't drop out and work for free at our family's gas station. I'm now broke, homeless, and have no way to pay for school. FML
Today, after having spent years staying in school, working hard to achieve good grades, and avoiding all the bad kids, my mom accused me of having no direction in life and complained about how I haven't given her a grandchild yet. I'm 19. FML
Today, like every day, I scrolled through my social media feeds, seeing happy couples, people buying houses and landing their dream jobs. I, on the other hand, am a single 23 year-old man in a dead end job, who still lives with his parents. FML
Today, I'm in a US college. I could've gone into a trade or internship, but no one listened. Now, while my parents brag to their friends that their child has a degree, I'll probably be spending the rest of life in crippling debt, sleeping on the side of the road, and begging strangers for table scraps. FML
Today, my parents used to tell that me life gets way better after high school. Yeah, for everyone else at my school. They’re partying it up in college or travelling during gap years, meeting all sorts of people. I have to work more than full time because my parents kicked me out the week after I graduated. FML
Today, I’ve been unemployed for a year since graduating. I haven’t been able to find a job or feel any joy in my life, and have been stuck at home, completely relying on my parents, but now they’re gonna kick me out. I’ve turned into a complete failure, I can’t even kill myself because I’m not brave enough. FML

So you're a 19-year old who was irresponsible enough to get knocked up, and you're complaining? Did you think someone would hand you success on a silver platter? Sorry princess, life doesn't work that way. You want to be successful? Work for it.

You were an honor student and couldn't read the instructions on a condom? or birth control pills?

Some things are out of your control, others are within your control. You are in your situation due to a combination of both. Wallowing isn't going to help anyone. Time to start problem-solving.

Its only been a year, why are you complaining? As long as you are working towards getting a better life take full advantage of the help you parents are giving you. Oh and dont forget to tell them thank you, they wont always be around to help you.

So what you're saying is that you had all this potential, pissed away said potential, and are now bitching about it? YDI Stop waiting for a silver spoon and get off your ass!

school means nothing anymore. it takes common sence and someone who dosent wait for a foot up there ass now. clearly OP is too damn lazy to try and find a job.

You evidently have never had a baby, at least not at a young age. There are surprisingly few baby day centres, most take children 19 months and up. Finding work and care for her child is a difficult process, and not always feasible. It's not necessarily laziness, it's a poor situation to be in.

she should have kept her legs closed. as easy as that.

"Why were you on FML when you should've been looking for a job? Great job!".......Yeah, because submitting a FML takes ALL day! Hey, why don't you question her why she wastes time pissing when she could be looking for a job?
