Today, I found out my dad spent most of the $500 I earned from mowing lawns on an Xbox 360 for himself. He was the one who encouraged me to put the money in the bank for college and to learn responsibility. I'm 14 years old. He's 37. FML

Today, I found out that my 50-year-old Father is the 'Sugar Daddy' to a 20-year-old. He wasted my college funds on her, which I have been dutifully saving for ever since I was 10. FML

Today, my father stole the money I'd saved up by working and spent it all gambling. I'd saved it up for a year for a new car. FML

Today, my dad called, saying he was in town and that he wanted to see me. I was excited, thinking he wanted to come see my new apartment. Turns out he just wanted to borrow my Xbox. FML

Today, I let my dad put my dollar in the slot machine for me because I'm not old enough to gamble. I won $200 but he kept it because he "put the dollar in the slot machine." 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.

Thievery

By ExtemelyBroke - 06/06/2009 02:24 - United States

Today, I checked my bank account that I've been saving money in since I was a kid for college. I have $100 left out of the $10,000 I had last month. Apparently my parents thought buying a pool and an HDTV for themselves was more important than my college education. FML

Today, as my 12-hour shift was about to finish, a young boy came in wanting to buy a $200 gaming device. His mom said he was purchasing it with his own money, which I found admirable. That is, until he took his piggy bank out of his backpack. FML

See if it's possible to locate the receipt and return it. Otherwise, sell it and pocket the money.

Okay you guys. Seriously? I'm 13 years old and I think that you older people are being immature. Is this "readable" enough for you dummies? Obviously none of you have anything better to do than get on here and discriminate. Since you are all being rude, kid, I'm sorry that your dad used your hard earned money.

Talk to your father about it. Do not break it, steal it, or anything else. It only makes it worse. Oh and for your information to the people who say 14 year olds should get off the Internet, I am 13 and look at my spelling! I am also doing this on an Ipod Touch that I earned myself! Teenagers can be just as good as adults! A couple of bad eggs apparently means that the whole generation is that way.

Wow. You have one cruel father. Okay, I recommend removing the money you have left in the back account, and cancelling the account. Then talk/yell at your dad, and "fix" the xbox. He really deserves it. Also, I, a 13 year old, has used the internet since I was 6 (not an exaggeration), and know more about computer programming that my IT teachers. I, along with the rest of my generation, have not known a life without the Internet, and I think we should bloody well know how to use it!

but honestly do you people get off (****) from correcting spelling? if you are so smart then you should be able to translate such heinous (omg possibly a spelling mistake there) crime as using your instead of you're and vice versa. seriously it's like you guys are on a mission, calm your selves
