and to the people that are saying anyone would feel this way & that those scolding the op are judgmental.. yes i'm sure people in trailer parks would rather live somewhere else but that doesn't mean theyre ashamed of what they do have! take a trip to somewhere less fortunate and would kill to have a trailer and then call me judgmental.

A little misguided, but at least you know they care and pay attention to your moods. Be happy about it!

... That doesn't sound too bad, if they're trying to support you when you did / did not make a mistake to end up living there. Even if it's a bad place to live in, they tried to make the best of it for you for a bit.

DIDN'T YOU ALREADY POST ABOUT YOUR MULLET-HEADED WIFE?

seriously #14 and how are they all accessing laptops / computers to use the internet?? mind boggling.

well, they were just trying to help you, weren't they?

lmfao #38 Let us mark this down: March 22, 2009, in the midst of the worst economic depression since the Great one: "go get a well-paid job and buy a real house."

Hey, #47. I've lived in a trailer park all my life. It's not my fault; my mom has always been a single parent since I was very little and she is older with disabilities. We can't help what we can afford. My father left behind his Social Security checks, and that takes care of most of our financial issues. At the same time, I skipped a year in high school, was fifth in the class ranking, and went to a boarding school for arts. I'm sixteen and I'm going to college this year a year earlier than I should be. Don't try and tell me that stereotypes are always correct. On the flip side, I know of a family that lives in a very nice neighboorhood in a $250,000 house. They do drugs everyday and the parents do low-end jobs and bit off more than they could chew by living in a nice home. The stereotypes of trailer parks has always followed me; I have rarely had sleepovers and almost nobody knows where I live. You saying something like that further encourages it. Just because Mommy and Daddy got a nice house and created you doesn't mean you can tease anyone else about their situations. There is always more to the story than what meets the eye.

It's nice to see a lot of sympathetic, thoughtful posters on this FML. I don't think of people who live in trailers as "trailer trash," but at the same time, I would be a little embarrassed if I had to move into one. To #28, it doesn't necessarily cost the same to live in an apartment as to live in a trailer park. To the OP, your parents had good intentions, and I'm sure everyone who showed up for the surprise did so to support you. Seems like you're surrounded by some great people :)

what the **** is wrong with living in a trailer? It has a roof, and indoor plumbing. you have everything you need, and more than enough space. stop feeling bad for yourself, get off your high horse and stop being a stuck up little shit.
