Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got the biggest shock in my life when I found out that I was a mistake, and the only reason why I wasn't put up for adoption is because of the tax refunds. FML
Today, I filed my taxes and I normally claim my parents as dependants. My taxes got rejected because my parents filed their taxes without informing me, and they don't have income. They believe if they file taxes, they get $5000 back, per Trump. It ended up costing me over $3,500 extra. FML
Today, I called my parents from out of state to see if they would order me a pizza using their credit card online because I'm out of money. I haven't lived with them for the past year, and they still claim me as a dependent on their taxes. They said no. FML
Today, I found out that they won't hold my stimulus for child support, only to find out that they withheld it to give it to me when I file my taxes. Which child support will take. FML
Today, I finally got the nerve to tell my parents that I'm no longer going to pay them a flat percent of my salary, but only what they need to cover my expenses. Their response: "Better find a place of your own then, you freeloading bastard." FML
Today, my parents have separated. I stayed with them, living at home far too long for my own comfort, just to help them keep it together after they lost their remaining parents. Literally the month after I moved out, they decided it wasn't worth it. I now suspect they stayed together only because I still lived at home. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, I found out that I owe the IRS money due to my previous job not taking enough taxes out. I am broke, unemployed, and was counting on a big refund so I could pay for my divorce. FML
Today, I found out my parents' New Year's resolution is to get me to move out. FML
Today, I found out my parents only had me in an attempt to fix their relationship. It didn't work. FML

You're getting married on a Tuesday? Because surely there's no jury duty on a weekend.

Well it could be worse, the only reason my parents want me to stay with them, is because I do all the housecleaning and because I can't say "NO" if they ask me for money... So just be glad to have a free bed to sleep and warm meals everyday! Cheer up OP! :)

I really need you to come clean my house top to bottom every week. I'll let you pick the day, but it needs to be done. You'll be paid in Snickers bars.

Tarlachia I'll take you up on that offer! Are they king sized or regular?

Well to be fair, the child tax credit did drop down from $3000+ to $1000 for the first child and even less for any other children after the first. So, there's not much incentive anymore. But, it's still an extra grand at the least. One day, you'll understand it from their perspective. In the meantime, do as you wish. No one is forcing you to move back in.

Hi! I'm OP, I am so excited this got posted!!!! Just so people don't take this seriously, this is a long standing joke between my parents and my siblings whenever we get into an argument.

If it is a joke, why the FML???

You better ask them for a portion (if not all) of your refund because that's pretty dispicable.

OP Birth Date : Wednesday 23 July 1997 (17 years) nope, still a student, and likely fully financially dependent on their parents. Im not counting movies / play money if they have a job, but kids are expensive.
