Today, I found out my mom can't wait until I turn 18, so she can kick me out and turn my room into a huge closet for all her clothes. FML

I hate parents with the mindset of kicking you out when you turn 18. That's the most ****** up thing a parent can do. Most people aren't finically stable at 18 and need help before they get out.

Yikes, I really hope she doesn't get impatient and start converting your room. It's terrible when parents' beliefs force their children to live in the closet.

Time to grow up - Your parents are not responsible for you your whole life. You need to have a life plan to take care of yourself - That includes an education that leads to a career that will allow you to support yourself when you are of adult age.

In this day and age, that's not exactly true. It's getting harder to be perfectly self sufficient at age 18 to move out and never look back. College is very expensive. It can also be hard to get a job in your field. I am very fortunate to have parents who have understood how I've struggled with invisible illness and are proud that I'm returning to school next year for my Masters degree. I have to live with them because I won't be able to work in my Masters program. I do help around the house (cook, clean, other) and we all get along. If I had been kicked out of the house at 18... I would probably still be working retail, making minimum wage, would not have my degree... and I'd probably be homeless. It's best not to judge sometimes.

#24 exactly. I was kicked out a week after turning 18. And that week was all the notice I got. Thankfully I had enough saved from working fast food and I was able to get a place, but I've been working retail ever since pretty much living paycheck to paycheck.

And they should be able to still live at home as they're getting their education. Idk about you but if my parents kicked me out the second I turned 18 I'd feel unloved and betrayed.

My siblings and I are lucky. Our mom has never kicked ya out. Around where we live, rent could be near 1000. There is no way I could afford it. I dropped out of college when I was 19-medical reasons. Im lucky my mom doesn't kick me out, or my daughter and myself would be homelessness.

What makes you think they don't do that already? The mother could just be a very selfish person.

And here I thought parenting was the most rewarding job in the world.

Then, OP's mother shouldn't have had a child in the first place. She chose to be a parent. OP didn't choose to be her child.

That's what all parents say, I think? My mom says that about me and my brother so your not alone!

Pretty sure most parents don't. Most parents let their kid live at home while still in school or until they're financially stable to be on their own. I moved when I was 21 and my parents had a hard time with it. Not all parents are assholes.

Mime never said that, although my old room is indeed now a closet.

I'm allowed to stay for as long as I'm in school. Eventually when I can find a job that works with both my school schedule and disability (if any knows of anything non-sexual let me know!) then I'll start paying for my car note/insurance. All of my friends parents have been pretty much the same. The ones that kicked their kids out at 18 were exactly dream parents to begin with.

OP tell her how you feel. Maybe if you tell her that you're offended by what she said she won't say things like that anymore.

God, I hate parents like that. One of the negatives of living in a free society is that people have the right to be assholes in just about any way you can imagine. Your parents have to feed you, clothe you, keep you healthy, and educate you, at least until you’re whatever age is legal where you are. Some parents treat their kids like you should be happy they did just enough to keep you alive. A lot of parents are jerks, and there’s nothing stopping them from being jerks. I wish all those parents lots of long, unhealthy post-retirement years alone and abandoned, trapped in some cheap government-funded nursing home because they drove their kids away for good.

Even though it sucks, it's her house and she worked to pay for it. You're lucky she at least warned you. Start planning your life now.

While I agree the OP should start planning her life, its still ****** to kick your child out of the house before they even have a chance to become stable. Especially for a dumb reason like her mother has. And with what that parent has done, shes very far from lucky. As far as im concerned, that lady deserves to be put in the nursing home later on, for being so selfish to the op.

I said OP was only lucky in that they weren't kicked to the curb at 18 with no warning. You really blew what I said out of proportion. I'm sorry, but life isn't fair for everyone.

Who said OP hasn't already started planning their life? It's not like the mother's doing what she thinks is best for OP, just for herself, like a selfish bitch.
