Today, it's my 21st birthday and my dad has decided to take away my ID in fear that if I have even one drink to celebrate I'll become a raging alcoholic. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my 21st birthday. My parents' gift was a case of non-alcoholic beer, to "prepare" me for when I "turn 21." My parents can't even remember how old I am. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My dad was supposed to take me to get a tattoo, but instead he went to the bar, got drunk, and told me how I was the biggest mistake he and my mom have ever made. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends showed up at my house already drunk, so I had to be the designated driver. FML
Today, my parents took me to a bar to celebrate my 21st birthday. They brought my little brother, but when the bouncer wouldn't allow him in, they made me wait outside with him while they went in for drinks. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. I got a call from my deadbeat dad, who I thought had finally mellowed and had something nice to say. Nope; he just told me I'm 21 years a disappointment, then hung up. FML
Today, it was my birthday, and even the person who seemed excited about me finally turning 21 and can legally drink forgot. Guess who got drunk alone tonight? This guy. FML
Today, is my 21st birthday. My friends took me to a bar to celebrate, knowing I don't drink. I'm now in charge of driving my friends home after they've had an awesome night. FML
Today, my dad had his 45th birthday and got so drunk he couldn't walk. He crawled along, crying, saying that his whole life was a failure because he had "a shitty job, a fat girlfriend, and a dipshit son who's never going to move out." I haven't moved out because I'm 18 and still at high school. FML
Today, I turned 18. My parents gave me a card that read "now that you're 18, it's time for some boozy fun... you can do all the things you did before but legally!" Taped to the inside was my fake id that I "lost" three months ago. FML
Today, my estranged father, who is a cop, decided to show up to my 17th birthday party. He immediately began arresting people for underage drinking. Way to mend fences, dad. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's exactly why I'm a virgin to this day. I'm afraid of becoming addicted to sex. Yeah. That's it.

Surely it's your choice if you did drink? Take it back and tell him to get out of your business.

You're an adult, get your ID back.

Use your passport

To everyone saying he can't do that, you're an adult. Please understand that OP most likely lives with their parents. If that is the case op has two options. Follow the rules or be the adult they wish to proclaim themselves to be and move the hell out. If I had ever told my parents I'm not listening to you I'm an adult. I would have come back to a locked house with everything I owned on the front porch with a note reading "have fun being an adult."

Outstanding. Agreed. I'm 25 and have 3 kids. What you said is what will happen if they pull that shit when they're adults. I love them, but sometimes the hard lessons are the best. It's how I learnt.

it's fyl because you live with your parents still, not the situation.

Don't you have to get a new ID when you turn 21 anyway?

You should, since it changes the way they write your info on it, but it is not necessary. I still have my old one even though I've been 21 for almost four months now. It doesn't expire until next year so there is no need for me to change it yet. It just makes it easier if you want to go to bars and buy alcohol.

Um...your 21, he has not jurisdiction over you now. Get it the **** back.

It's all right, honey. Someday, he'll be old, and you'll be the one who decides what he can eat and drink, or whether or not he gets to drive, and what nursing home he'll be living in. ...In fact, you might just want to remind him of that, at some point. In the meantime, well, now you have extra incentive to get out and live on your own, don't you?

I feel for you if you are paying your own way, in your own place, or even living with your folks paying board or whatever, but if you're one of those people who don't leave the nest, then I've no sympathy. I'll be damned if my kids don't respect my rules in my house if they don't move out once they're adults

Your 21 and still being treated like a kid? I'd piss in his soup and kindly ask for my ID back. If I didn't get my ID back then I would find something he needs for ransom untill I got my ID back!

So, basically, to prove you are not a child, you should behave like a child? Either that, or you were being ironic and I missed it.

You know your an adult, right? So take the ID back
