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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad gave me a twenty minute lecture about responsibility and how lazy he considers me to be. He then yelled at me for not making his bed and getting his clothes off the floor. FML
Today, my dad yelled at me for being irresponsible while he watched me fold his laundry. FML
Today, I went to visit my father. His new wife has hoarded out our childhood home nearly to the point of it being unliveable. That’s pretty funny, considering my dad used to literally beat us if our rooms weren’t clean or we left dishes in the sink. FML
Today, my dad sat me down for a talk. After the talk, he wasn't my dad anymore. FML
Today, I got a notice in the mail saying I had been fired from my job. My dad's the boss, who I happen to live with. FML
Today, I overheard my parents planning on how to get me to move out of the house. It's my house. They only came to visit and forgot to leave. FML
Today, I had an appointment. After 2 hours of waiting in the sun, my mom finally picked me up and lectured me on how irresponsible my dad was for not communicating with her. Not 5 minutes after I got home, my dad showed up and gave me the same exact lecture about my mom. FML
Today, it's been a few weeks since I moved into my own place, so I decided to visit my parents. I rang to ask for a good time to come over but all I got was basically, "Nope, you’re moved out now, a grown up, no longer our problem, ring us when you get some girl pregnant with our first grandbaby, bye." FML
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
Today, my mother called me, telling me how disappointed she was at how I let my room "become such a pigsty." I haven't lived there in three years. FML

Say the same thing to him when he visits you.

It's true that you have to follow the rules in someone's else's house. But it doesn't include doing work for their lazy ass.

Send him to his room, see how he likes it.

Yeah parents never stop doing that. I think they like being bossy or getting free work out of their visiting children. Or both

I suppose it is partly due to them raising you from childhood to adulthood. It can be a difficult pattern to break, it seems...

I would laugh it off, and if he was being serious just leave, let him know that you don't want to put up with it. And then if it keeps happening do the same to him when he visits next.

It's almost like the dad has never gotten the fact that his kid has moved out. I guess there are some parents who go into denial over that, especially if it was their only child.

I'm the youngest in the family, and my mother treats me like I'm perpetually 14 years old. It's not always the only child that gets the raw end of the deal.

Define chores...maybe you can make a list for him at your house like you are in control of the television remote or something

You're not alone OP. 50 Cents mother made him take out the trash when he visited - he tweeted about it while he was doing it complaining that he was too rich to do it. Still did it though, moms' got that kinda power.

Maybe his grandmother but not his mom. 50 Cent mom died when he was a kid.

I don't think Dad was trying to get free work from his visiting son since he started with "you live under my roof. You need to have your Dad checked for dementia.

"Oh, would you look at the time! I have to leave now, I have many chores to do at my OWN home!"
