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, I finally told my dad that he owes me over 400 dollars, and that I need it or else I'd get kicked out of my apartment. He only gave me 70 and said to get a better job. FML

Today, I was offered a job that pays far more than I expected, being a high school senior. My parents decided they aren't letting me take the job, saying I should enjoy my childhood. They're also not paying for my college, which is why I was looking for work in the first place. FML

Today, my parents decided to finally kick me out of the house because they've gotten tired of seeing me "sleep around all day and being so lazy" whenever I'm home. I'm currently triple-shifting for 6 days a week. FML

How about you learn to support yourself and be a productive member of society instead of suckling at your parents' teats. Freeloading bastard.

I think what you wanted is fair. Hopefully your parents will clue in and understand. If not, good luck with finding a new place :)

How about respect for your parents and gratefulness for LETTING you live there. If you are paying too much to live there then talk to your parents, you don't TELL them. 30% of gross income is recommended to go to rent but it is usually a higher number.
