Today, I just bought a car with all of my own money. Then, when I brought it home my dad informed me that my mom will be driving it to work every day. FML

Today, my mom sold the car I've been working on for the last few years for 100 dollars. To buy gas for her car. FML

Today, after selling their car, my parents decided to inform me that my car (that I paid for myself) is now going to be the "Family Car". They also informed me that since it is, after all, my car, I'll still have to pay for the gas and maintenance. FML

It's not like riding a bike

Today, I bought my very first car. My dad insisted on driving it, just to see how it handles, and drove it right off the bridge near our house into our river because he hasn’t driven anything in 15 years, which also means he has no insurance, at all. FML

Sick ride, dude

Today, my parents said that they bought me a car. I had been begging for one for a year and they always said that I would have to pay for it myself. I got really excited and went to the garage to see my new ride. It was a Hot Wheels car with a note saying, "Save your money". FML

And then.....

Today, I bought my very first car that I spent years saving for. A few hours after I signed all the papers, I let my boyfriend go for a test drive. He totaled it. FML

Today, I bought a used car from a private dealer my parents had recommended. On my way home they called to tell me that their car broke down. They bought it last week from the same guy. FML

Today, I illicitly borrowed my dad's car to go to the store, but crashed into my mom's car as she and dad were returning from my grandma's house. Both cars are totalled, my mom is in hospital with a broken collarbone, and I realised dads really can make steam come out their ears if they’re really mad. FML

Today, I got woken up by my parents telling me I had to go buy a car so they could have transportation. Neither of their cars work, so I was letting them use mine, and then they wrecked it. It needs nearly a thousand bucks in repairs to be drivable again, but since it was my car, I have to replace it now to appease them. FML

Not the golden child

Today, my father retired and made sure to buy both my younger sisters and their partners near new cars. Despite only one having a licence. Then bought the bare minimal definition of a "functioning" car for me, as compensation for paying off the family car on my own. FML

Independence day

By Anonymous - 01/07/2022 10:00

Today, I got a text from my dad asking about my car in the shop. I'm trying to show them that I can actually be independent, but now they know that not only will it cost all my savings account to fix it, but also that my boyfriend will be driving me to work for the next month while the shop waits for the parts.

if you have enough money to buy your own car you shouldn't be living at home anymore. either help your parents out or get out. why are people so selfish and why is this a fml?

its funny how everyone is hating the parents when they pay for everything remember all of those vacations?

Yeah, cause all families go on expensive vacations. Even if they did, that doesn't matter. Spending money on your kids is kinda part of being a parent. If parents choose to go on vacations that's their choice, and doesn't give them to right to commandeer anything their child bought themselves.

When did babies get the choice of being here or of who their parents are? his parents laid down a made an innocent child who didn't ask to be here, if they wanted repayment they never should have had children and if they did should have given them up for adoption Parents are responsible for the care of another human being without EVER expecting repayment, if you believe he owes them for doing their job then do not ever procreate seriously, SMDH and this is what is wrong with today's generation it's the parents fault that children rebel

lmao, if that was my car that I paid for, there would be no way in hell that ANYONE would drive it every single day but me. Man up and tell your dad that you aren't going to let that happen.
