Money: Today, I counted the amount of stuff that my dad had bought within...

Today, I counted the amount of stuff that my dad had bought within a week: a brand new boat, car, and truck. He also has countless gadgets at his office, including a 60" television. Our house is literally falling apart but Mr. Midlife-crisis won't do anything to help. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, it's the third week of my dad's midlife crisis. So far he's blown half my college fund pimping out his piece of shit car, keeps texting me meme pictures, and keeps yelling "Savage!" and "Recked!" any time my mom makes a joke at anyone's expense. FML

Today, my dad started his mid-life crisis. Instead of a Porsche or a Ferrari, he bought a tractor. Goodbye summer holiday. FML

Growing old disgracefully

By adam - 05/12/2015 14:54 - Czech Republic

Today, my dad is having his midlife crisis, bought a Mercedes, along with having a girlfriend less than half his age. I was trying to be supportive, until I found out he is funding his midlife crisis with my university loan. FML

Today, my dad had a day off and was 'bored' so he decided to move our entire kitchen into our living room. We now have no running water, no oven that works and the entire house is a bombsite. He has an entire week off. FML

Family matters

Today, in response to the guy whose son told him to fuck off for disturbing his one day off a week, my son spent literally his entire savings account for a deposit on a shitbox one bedroom house because he’s sick of his dad finding him things to do every ten minutes, and I don’t even blame him.

Midlife crisis in style

By Anonymous - 15/03/2022 14:00

Today, my husband started his midlife crisis with a bang, or rather several bangs, as he admitted that there are two women out there pregnant with his babies. Oh, and he quit his job to escape the daily grind. Oh, and he remortgaged the house to buy a truck so we could go cross country. FML

This is why I left home

By Anonymous - 09/03/2024 07:00 - United States

Today, I was asked to stay at my parents' house for a week while my mom stays with my dying grandfather. Dad greeted me with a whole list of chores to do every day when I'm not at work, and won't even so much as let me use my laptop when I'm not busy. He does nothing but waste money on eBay all day and doesn't help. FML

Don't drink and DIY

Today, my dad got drunk and decided to fix everything in the house he thought was broken. Now the oven won't cook, half the floorboards from the stairs are piled in the garden, we put the TV back together but now it is stuck on mute, and we still have no idea where he has put my bedroom door. FML

Wrecked

By Anonymous - 13/04/2024 02:00 - United States

Today, my dad is mad at me because I refused to buy a truck. An ugly old Isuzu with two flat tires and a missing headlight, and the owner said it needed a new transmission & brakes, but still wanted $8000. Apparently, without consulting me, Dad promised him I'd buy it as payment for guns he bought. Now he's in debt. FML

Today, I came home to find my dad's mid-life crisis has finally started. He's blacked all our windows, barricaded the door to the backyard, and set up a bunch of security cameras in and out of the house. It seems he's been reading up on Survivalist and Masonic conspiracy theory bullshit. FML

Your dad is an excellent distributor of cocaine, you should be proud.

Unless he paid for the boat, car, and truck in full...those monthly payments are going to hurt SO badly!

If you're over the age of 20 you shouldn't be living at home anymore.

If you have a good relationship with your parental units, and are pulling your weight in terms of helping around the house, paying for rent and food, and are not being a general waste of space, there is no shame in living at home passed the age of 18-20 with the way the economy is right now.

Have you looked at the economy lately? It's not easy to find a job to fully support yourself these days.

OP it's none of YOUR business how your dad spends HIS money.

Yes it is, that's the OP's father and if any decisions the father makes that affect the OP in anyway makes it his business. Like living in a home that is falling apart and his father not doing anything about it.

34, the OP said that their house is falling apart and he's buying all these nice things for HIMSELF. He's not only being irresponsible, but also selfish.

Crash his truck into the house. Then put the TV in his boat and abandon it at sea. That always works!!

The things you mentioned are fun and impress young, hot women. Owning a house is part of that hopeless middle-class wage-slave trap that sucks the life and vitality out of men. Are you conplaining because he's rational and you are an ignorant naive dumbass?
