Today, my 26th birthday party got busted by my parents due to them coming home early because of a flight cancellation. Everyone had to leave, but not before my mother made me go to my room. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home at 1am this morning from a friend's birthday party. I'm 30 years old. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML
Today, my parents and I went to the movies for my mom's birthday. After the movie, my mom and dad got into a fight, and left me at the movies. My cell phone was dead, and my house was about 12 miles away. They finally came and picked me up, hours later. FML
Today, I got into trouble for moving my chair around in class, which went on my permanent record, while other people were literally throwing things across the room and being loud but they didn't get in trouble. Tomorrow's my birthday and now my parents won't let me go out, even after I told them what happened. FML
Today, it was my 18th birthday and I was told I couldn't get the night off work because a party of 34 had booked into the restaurant. It turned out my family had come in to 'celebrate' by making me wait on them. They were a nightmare, thought it was hilarious to be difficult, and didn't tip. FML
Today, after my parents left for the weekend, my "friends" decided to throw a party at my house, despite my protests. In order to get them to leave, I called the police. I was the only one arrested, while they got warnings. FML
Today, it's my birthday. After a day out partying, I came home to find all my stuff smashed in the yard, even my 42" plasma TV. After asking my girlfriend what her problem was, she said a "slut" left a message on the machine stating how fun last night was. It turned out to be my mom. FML
Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, I found out that the day I moved out of my parents' house, they invited my whole family over and had a party to celebrate the fact that I was gone. FML
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML

Ok, let's break this down a bit: What if he's still college student ? Masters/Ph.D - if you're in science department...you're pretty much have to otherwise your B.S. doesn't mean a squat If he moves out the he would need to get a student loan (let's face it - working part time will not provide you with roof over your head, food and clothing). By getting student loan that would also cover rent, tuition fee and other costs = that shit is pretty much like mortgage, you'll pay it off when you're 50-60 (given that OP goes to decent school and not to the one of those crappy community college)

Any Masters/Ph.D student paying for their own education is doing something wrong.

Ph.D. probably, not sure (didn't do it...yet), but masters - yeah quite a lot of people have to pay for master programs (and it is especially expensive if you're working towards MBA)

In my university to get scholarship for masters in my field you have to have GPA of 3.7-4.0, it is very competitive. Even if you got scholarship you may easily lose it in a semester due to job to support yourself (apartment that about an hour bus ride to school is in the range of $1800/month in my area). Some of the people above suggested to get a roomate...well to be honest I would rather live with my parents when I will be 26 than to live with a person I don't really know. There is an option to get a dorm, but again there are some people that would rather stay with parents than live in a dorm.

Take out some loans for the MBA. Most people going for an MBA have been working for a few years and have money saved up. You should be able to make decent loan payments on the salary you earn after an MBA. I don't know any Masters students that pay tuition. If you can't find any scholarships/assistantships/fellowships you probably aren't very good at what you do and should reconsider whether this field of study is appropriate for you. Or your school is not willing to put money towards your program. If that's the case your program probably isn't too great.

I can tell that a lot of responders did not go the college/university themselves :) I go to decent university and I know that every other student is in similar situation - it is impossible to work full time and study full time :) Those who live by themselves, usually have rich-er parents ;)

You're 26, I don't understand this, you must never have parties for your parents to break it up. And, you must be a complete loser if you still let them send you to your room when you get in trouble.

Your parents are so strict because they're hoping and praying you'll TAKE THE ******* HINT and move out. God, don't make them kill you.

There are two possibilities here. 1)You are a college student or a recently laid off employee who is living with his parents to save up to finally get out on your own. 2) You are a moocher who never went to college or partied all of college and is still living at home with mommy and daddy because life hit you too hard in the ass. Either way YDI. 1) YDI because you're living under some one else's roof so you need to remember that it's not your house. 2) YDI because you need your own place so man up and get a job.
