I'm a rebel, mom!

By SheenaL - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my son is going through a rebellious phase. He's taken to wearing leather and chains, listening to death metal music all day in his room alone, and screaming at me in public places. He was fired from his part-time job for swearing at customers. My son is 29 years old. FML

We are supposed to either criticize or support OP in a grammatically-correct manner. Which one you choose is up to you.

jellitonoctopus - that's the beauty of the comment section. You see, many millenia ago the Mighty FML Deity decided to make Fmylife.com. And he looked and saw it was good. And he said, "Yea, Fmylife.com is good, glory be. But the people should be able to comment on the vignettes." And the FML comment section was born. And now the people may comment as they wish without invitation, Deity be praised. Hallelujah and amen and all that etc etc.

If it's a trinity, then Perdix and Doc are definitely up there. I haven't been reading enough IAmScrubs... I'll work on that.

umm screw timeouts this is a clear case of what's wrong with America . I bet if OP would have used a belt and also taught some responsiblity. maybe he would be a productive member of society.

Times have changed sadly. What used to be out the house by the age of 18-25 has now become more 23-30. While it makes sense, due to the economy and low paying jobs a a young age, and college expenses, living on your own can be tough. Parents are definitely good resources if you have them available. Anyway, back to the FML. If he brings up the "I don't want you treating my like a kid anymore" bull, tell him it's because he's actig like a little kid. Black leather and chains is a good look, but the attitude is total crap. He probably just wants attention. Keep an eye on him, he might vandalize. How fun, right?

While it is more normal for kids to live with their parents longer that does not excuse his behavior. I have an older cousin who is 28 that lives with his parents, but is otherwise pretty independent and doesn't go through immature phases. The OP's son is.. this is just sad. Wow.

yeah...all I took away from that is that he still lives with you. you know there's a time for certain things!

If he's that old and this is happening, he's either mentally ****** in the head or OP is a fail parent. Seriously, if my kid was yelling at me while I'm providing him a place to live, (this still assumes he's 29) I'd kick his ass out of the house and charge rent if he wanted back in.

I agree. I always see sarcasm comments having thumbs down and stupid comments hating on them. It's the internet people, not everyone is serious. That's why the internet is full of kittens.

I like the taste in music. ;) Also, some of us teens have to lie about our age to recieve the same priveleges as as the other members, cause its ridiculous the features we're denied because of one year.

Well, if he's not into trashy, young, attention seeking girls, or if he's gay, then a guy wouldn't comment positively on it. Cheers

Its like a mid-life crisis for an early 20th Century life expectancy. *facepalm* I'm about 10 years younger than him, and somewhat immature for my age, and I know better than to act like that. I knew better than that when I was 14, for goodness' sake.

I would help my son pay for college but if he doesnt go to college then I would cut him off unless I was given a good reason not to.

Yes. It sounds like he has the type of emotional issues that some kind of a psychological therapist would be expected to handle.

Actually, it IS normal for a person to go into a rebellious stage.

the rebellious stage is more like in one's teenager years up until they're an adult because that's what they're pretty much waiting for.
