Sophie's choice

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to choose between living with my overprotective dad who only uses me for free childcare, or my pot-smoking mom who always needs to borrow money. FML

Choose your dad. At least he isn't always trying to bum money from you.

wow that's exactly my parents except nothing with money lol my dads an overprotective drunk. and my mom just smokes pot.

I say you should choose your father. At least you would be safe with him. My parents were extremely over protective with me before. But as I grown older, I made them realise that I wasn't a child anymore and now they let me have more freedom in my actions. I hope it will work with your father, if you choose to be with your father.

Even though you feel your Dad is "over protective" at least you know he cares about you to be that way. Having been the oldest child of a single parent family myself, I felt the same way about the child care issue growing up. Now that I am an adult having raised children as a single parent, he probably counts on you because financially it is his only option or he is trying to teach you to be a responsible adult. it is apparent that your Dad loves you. This is a no brainer. Your Mom needs to grow up. Stay with your Dad.

then get your own place or go stay with a good friend/family member or go to a child support and get a foster home

go with your dad or move out and live on your own.

Go with the dad. At least he sort of cares about you.

I'm sorry overprotective and uses me do not go together to describe the same person. Yea if he's taking care of you, theres nothing wrong with expecting the money to help for it, it's not cheap anymore. Unless you want to basically pay alimony to your mom for your own self...

obviously the pot isn't the problem it's the money she wants from u.. look at it this way, at least she won't ever get violent or want to beat you while she smokes.. better than booze of other hard core drugs.. ( if your going to talk about marijuana, please educate yourself, don't be ignorant and open your gap before knowing!
