Today, I saw my unemployed 29-year-old son, who still lives with us, reading the work section of the newspaper and prayed that he was looking for a job. He was looking for the comics. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad called my recently unemployed son a no-good bum for not job hunting. My son literally spent all day beefing up his resume and scheduling job interviews for the whole week. It's not the 1920s anymore, dad. You can't just walk into a building, ask for a job, and get hired right on the spot. FML
Today, my son's teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He put down "unemployed". FML
Today, I actually resorted to checking the newspaper obituaries to see where the deceased were employed, just so I can find a job opening. FML
Today, I walked in on my son flopping around on the floor with a blanket wrapped around his legs. Apparently at age 22, he'd rather pretend to be a mermaid than go out and get a damn job. 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, my son's homework was to write a story about what he wants to be when he grows up. He wrote that he plans on being unemployed and living at home until we throw him out, then he'll live under a bridge. He's only 12, but already planning for a future as an unemployed bum. FML
Today, after months of job hunting, I finally got a phone call. They were impressed with me. That's when my son decided to throw a tantrum asking for food. After some silence, the caller told me they were looking for someone who wasn't juggling little kids at home and hung up. My son is 20. FML
Today, my son finally got a job for the first time in his life. He only did it so he can upgrade his PC and buy Overwatch. He's 24. FML
Today, my father told me to "go get a job." He has been unemployed for three years. FML
Today, I found out my son's dad stole his unemployment card and took the money. My son was homeless at the time and using his dad's address for mail. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

LoL, why don't you just confront him? instead of just waiting for him. he obviously isn't looking for a job.

Sounds like you deserve it if you won't kick him out.

you deserve it for letting him be like that. if you really wanted him to change you would go into his room, pack his bags and leave them out the front and then change the locks! let him learn to live and nothing oh its ok mummy and daddy will look after me. they cook and clean and do the laundry and make my bed just like i was 5 years old. seriously grow some balls

Obviously you totally deserve it since you let him sit there reading comics while you work to support your family (unless you don't and in that case you still deserve it for complaining about his lack of work)A good parent would be teaching their child how to survive on their own.

Haha such a slacker tell him you'll kick him out of the house so he should start looking for a job

You totally deserve it because all you are doing is praying (hoping) for him to get off his lazy ass. Set a deadline for him to move out and kick his ass into action.

You know, you could kick him out. Just tell him he has to be out by next month or something, and if he doesn't leave just put his stuff outside. Harsh, but he needs to be on his own by now. Letting him still be a child isn't going to help him get anywhere in life. It's what would be best for everyone.
