Today, the only food in the house is canned beans and vegetables that I can’t stand. My dad refuses to go to the store because, "we can't afford it." Meanwhile, my stepmom just came home with a brand new Gucci purse. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML
Today, I had expired soda and stale chips for my dinner. Why? Because my mother spent all our grocery money on organic food for her chihuahua. FML
Today, we have nearly no food in the house. My husband went shopping with the kids and returned with a sack of tomatoes. Time to make lunch. FML
Today, my step-brother went grocery shopping alone for the first time. He came home with Ramen and 14 bottles of chocolate milk, which will expire by the 20th. My step-dad is insisting we eat it so it doesn't go to waste. FML
Today, while many women have a wardrobe full of nothing-to-wear, my mom has a fridge full of nothing-to-eat and a living room full of nowhere-to-sit. FML
Today, I was excited to go to my new girlfriend’s house for dinner. To my horror, everything was out of a box or a can; Hamburger Helper, canned vegetables, boxed mashed potatoes. When I said I was hoping for something fresher, she just stared at me and asked if i know how expensive groceries are. FML
Today, as I searched for food to take to work for lunch, I noticed that the only recent addition to our fridge is chocolate milk and popsicles. My mom went grocery shopping yesterday. FML
Today, after my dad always telling me that if I went to college then one day I could have a big house, a nice car, a hot wife, and two great kids, the joke's on you Dad. I have a Master's degree and can't afford rent, can’t afford driving lessons, and am single. Also, I've not eaten in two days, because I can’t afford food FML
Today, my dad still refuses to repay the loan I gave him. I've just barely managed to pay my bills, and I'm now so poor that I'll have to survive the next 3 days until my next paycheck by eating the only thing left in my fridge: a jar of cheese whiz. FML
Today, my mother went shopping. She bought three boxes of Popsicles and a giant stuffed dog. She did not buy dinner or toilet paper. I've eaten nothing but cereal and popcorn for three days now. FML

You are implying the your step mom is a predator draining your dads money. If you really suspect this, ask him to go over his finances with you. Checkbooks, bank and investment accounts, credit cards, mortgage for the past year. Be respectful during the process. He has to see it for himself.

Point out the new Gucci purse, and how much it costs. It can be afforded but step mom is greedy.

She has zero right to go through her fathers finances. Also guarantee this story is BS.

I’ve got good news and bad news for you: The bad news, sweet cheeks, is that you’re gonna have to get off your lazy ass and get a job if you don’t want to be in involuntary vegan. The good news is your dad must be getting some mind-blowing sex from his new wife to spend all his money on her. Aren’t you happy for him?

Oh he’s spending his money? You don’t know that at all. Isn’t stepmoms job to support his kid. It’s his.

So not hungry enough to eat veggies. You just don’t like them. Buy your own food or go hungry.

Well that depends, does she work and did she buy it with her own money. She is allowed to save for things she likes. She shouldn’t have to spend all of her money taking care of you because you don’t want to get a job yourself
