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

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.

yes, you did earn that money for yourself, but if you demand a refund for your money, your dad'll just say "sorry, but if you want your 500 dollars back ill charge you money for rent and food" still want your money back?

Wait until you're 18 and your stepfather spends the ~30 grand you had from working lots of shifts in your part-time job on a brand new Harley...and you find this out 2 weeks before you were supposed to start college.

Wow. Why would people put YDI? He deserves it for having a lazy thief of a dad? He deserves it because he mowed approx. 100 lawns and gets rewarded by getting it stolen from him? He deserves it because he saved his money for something sensible like an education? FYL. I'm 12, by the way. Idiots, reply away.
