Today, I called my parents from out of state to see if they would order me a pizza using their credit card online because I'm out of money. I haven't lived with them for the past year, and they still claim me as a dependent on their taxes. They said no. FML

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, my mom and dad went to court to negotiate child support for me and my brothers. During the meeting, my dad was asked, "Sir, are you saying that the only reason you want your sons to live with you full time is so you don't have to pay child support?" To which he responded, "Yes." FML

My parents don't get tax refunds. Never really understood the whole idea behind big tax refunds. You're overpaying on taxes and letting the government borrow money for free...

it cost more than their tax return to take care of you. if money was their concern it would have been cheaper for them not to have you around.

Could be a lot worse. My Dad was only born so my grandparents could get a bigger council house.

Don't think the "only reason" holds water. Sure parents joke this, but kids cost thousands each year and you go whatever you can for them. Bottom lip be us the tax deduction will pay for the kid's expenses for less than a week!
