Today, I got mad at my parents and threatened to run away. Things got so bad that I packed a bag and left, planning to hide in my front yard to teach them a lesson. It's been two hours, and I'm still standing behind a bush in front of my house while they make no effort to look for me. FML

Today, my parents started fighting at a restaurant. Embarrassed, I went to the restroom to get away and stayed in there for about 15 minutes, knowing how long their fights can last. When I came back, they were gone. They'd ditched me, and left me to walk several miles back home. FML

Today, I got into a fight with my mom, and stormed out of the house. I walked two blocks before realizing that I have no place to go, and no friends to vent to. FML

Our house, in the middle of our street

Today, I overheard my parents planning on how to get me to move out of the house. It's my house. They only came to visit and forgot to leave. FML

Hangry

Today, my parents were out and about, leaving me alone in the house. They said they would leave some lunch for me. I couldn't find it. After telling them when they got home, my mom got huffy and showed me that it was in a place I would have never thought to look. She then got even more mad when I was annoyed by this. FML

Today, I slipped out my bedroom window at night in an attempt to rebel against my parents. Then I realized that I have no friends and nowhere to go, so I tried to climb back in. I fell, broke my ankle, and laid in the dirt until my parents found me in the morning. FML

Today, my parents and I went to the movies for my mom's birthday. After the movie, my mom and dad got into a fight, and left me at the movies. My cell phone was dead, and my house was about 12 miles away. They finally came and picked me up, hours later. FML

Today, I tried to surprise my parents by coming home from college for Spring Break. I arrived to find a dark house, with all the doors bolted shut. After calling them, I found out that they have gone on a vacation to Hawaii for a week. I am now locked out of my own house, with no where to stay. FML

Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML

Control

Today, I moved out of my parents' house and started living alone. All of a sudden, my parents started requiring me to text or call them every 5 minutes to tell them where I am and what I'm doing, from 6am to 12am every day. If I don't, they will go looking for me, and force me to move back in with them. FML

Tanning

By Anonymous - 13/07/2014 04:08 - United States

Today, I decided to tan naked in a secluded part of my yard, so I wouldn't get tan lines. I even felt adventurous enough to leave my bikini and towel inside. This idea backfired however when my mom stopped home from work, assumed I wasn't home, and locked all the doors before she left again. FML

They're not going after to you because they know you'll be back when it's dinner time.

Go get your own place and that will teach them a lession. Show them how you mean business by buying your own food, clothing, and utilities, and they will come begging to have you back

It has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not your parents are lazy. It has everything to do with...this is the real world, and your parents aren't gonna give in to any temper tantrums or attention seeking actions. That's all running away is. They still called the cops which means they give a rats ass about you, so think twice before insulting them because they didn't do what YOU expected them to. They still did *something* to ensure that YOUR dumb runaway ass came home.

How old are you? 4. They are inside laughing their asses off at you. They can see you behind a bush. Either really move out or stop being stupid.

Maybe they know you are hiding or saw you and are teaching you a lesson.

Haha! Yes!! I remember when I did the exact same thing once, I was five. Seriously. I stormed off to my room and packed a bag then went out to the front yard and hid. I was five and they left me there for almost an hour (watching from a window).

Looks like you really did teach them a lesson! If their kid leaves, they'll get some peace! You should act now! Move out, get a job, and start supporting yourself WHILE YOU ARE STILL THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE!
