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

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 your parents are paying for the insurance, then I don't know what to tell you OP. but I you are, congrats and way to go. still not sure what you can do though considering (I'm assuming) you live in their house.

Stipulate in the policy that anyone else driving the car is uninsured and then wait for the mom to get a speeding ticket! Then she gets busted for driving without insurance and his dad is paying bail lol.

You don't get arrested for driving without insurance. You get a ticket, and then have to pay a fine. At no point in time has anyone ever been arrested for driving a car that didn't have their name on the policy. Should that person crash the car, minimum coverage will STILL cover the damage to the other person's car. Full coverage will also cover the damage to the OPs car, unless the insurance company can SUCCESSFULLY prove that the mother was a regular driver and should've been listed on the policy. My husband's car was hit by an uninsured driver. By this I mean she didn't have any coverage on her car at all. She has not been arrested... even though she caused the accident... and she never will be. She will merely be sued by our insurance company for the cost of the damages. Should she not be able to pay, she STILL will not go to jail. But then, I wouldn't expect a non-adult to have any idea of how the law or insurance policies work.

You're just a pushover if you allow this to happen. Don't let her use it.

if you bought that car with your own money and are paying the insurance on it then tell her to drive her own car. or charge her rent of the car. how ever much you owe on it. if you owe 500 charge her 500 a month.
