Today, my parents gave me a sock and card for my eighteenth birthday. The card said, "Now that Dobby is free, get out." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my son to go clean his mess of a room. He yelled, "Dobby has no master! Dobby is a free elf!" and walked off. He turned 18 a week ago. FML
Today, I turned 17. My parents completely forgot it was my birthday, and when I reminded them, my dad thought it was my 18th. He was ecstatic and mentioned that I can "finally get the hell out." 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, after several years of having her help me out by doing household chores, I bought my fifteen-year-old daughter a new pair of jeans. Her reaction was to squeal, "Master has presented Dobby with clothes. Dobby is free!" FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents, with whom I live, told me that they didn't get me anything, but instead they said they would knock off a bit of the housekeeping I owe them. FML
Today, I turned 18. My parents got me a pineapple and a pair of socks. I'm allergic to pineapple, and the socks are too small. FML
Today, I had dinner with my family in celebration of my 19th Birthday. I've been hinting that I need a new laptop for months now and I was sure my family had bought me one. I have got a pair of slipper socks. FML
Today, I turned eighteen. Thinking I was going to get a big present from my parents on this special day, I eagerly unwrapped my present. They got me a bag of M and M's. Last year I got flannel bed sheets. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My fiancé decided to give me the gift of "freedom." That's how he put it, anyway. FML
Today, my mom gave me my Christmas gift. It was a letter containing $200 and a note saying, "Here's the down payment for your apartment, please just move out already." I turned 18 last week. Thanks mom. FML

The sad thing is if that happened to me, I'd be excited!!!! Sorry OP, though, if you want to stay try to negotiate a way for you to live with them until you get your own place? FYL

I'd probably kick out my daughter at 18 as well if she was a complete Justin Bieber addict but hey, that's just me.

So, since ur free now. That means u can do whatever you want. Do something that will drive ur parents crazy..er. And all you gotta do to get away with it is hold up that card and sock and proudly say "I HAVE NO MASTER, AM A FREE HOUSE ELF!" and go on ur merry way.

Wow! Have you ever thought back on your life and said to yourself, ' Hey! Maybe I should've been less angst ridden as a teenager?' but no I like your parents they use good reference. They're keepers!

Lol, nice joke by the parents, but chances are you already had socks before that one... I'd laugh and throw it in the trash... Parents are clever, but to think you'd be ready at 18 to move out in this economy is just downright laughable... Good luck op.
