Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML
Today, I work at a debt collections center and I had to call my own father. Merry Christmas. FML
Today, my dad said he can't go to my graduation because he has to work. He got fired a month ago. FML
Today, I finally told my dad that he owes me over 400 dollars, and that I need it or else I'd get kicked out of my apartment. He only gave me 70 and said to get a better job. FML
Today, I'm mad at my dad for forgetting it's my birthday. He's mad at me for not reminding him. FML
Today, besides the fact that I hate Christmas since my parents divorced, my mom told me she can't come this year with my sister because of no money. We even offered to pay for their tickets, but she won't come because of the "last minute" stress. Fuck this year. FML
Today, my horrible parents turned up to the restaurant I work at just to mess with me. Dad forgot his wallet, what a surprise, and asked me to pay the bill. I refused so my manager got involved. My dad got arrested, I got fired and might lose my lousy flat if I’m late on the rent. FML
Today, my boss bragged to a coworker, in front of me, about how much money he saved on a project because he majorly underpays me. My boss is my dad. FML
Today, my dad answered his Skype call by insisting he wasn’t giving me any more money. Thing is, I had been about to ask for money, again. I tried to open a shop in the middle of a pandemic, and I’m 4 months late on rent and utilities. I ended the call so he wouldn’t see his grown son crying. FML
Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML

I Imagine the conversation went something like, "Yeah..., I would have enough money for holiday festivities, but I have this crappy boss who has decided not to pay me yet. Do you think that you can do something about that Dad?"

"Yeah, son, I've got it covered." *Dad gets up, exits room, and starts beating himself in Fight Club fashion.* (Muffled) "This is for my son, you bastard!"

*more muffled sounds* "You don't understand sir. Your son is a Norwegian madman!" "Don't you talk about my son like that you heartless son of a bitch!" *Proceeds to throw himself out the window*

I really hope you pointed that out.

Maybe your dad is trying to tell you to stop living from paycheck to paycheck and to start saving some money so you can deal better with these situation. Thank him for these lessons!

Almost as if... paychecks are used for stuff like rent and gas/groceries and maybe savings exist but shouldn't be used for festivities because y'know.. you're saving your money? I would not be so quick to judge.

Not only that, don't you think you need some sort of income to aquire savings?

I imagine you now know the frustration of a homeschooler trying to explain their low grades to their infuriated parents.

Tell him to pay up or shut up, not that it would do any good.
