Today, I realized that even though I was an honor student throughout school, and considered the golden child who was going to go far in life, all I've accomplished a year after graduation is becoming an unemployed single mother still living with my parents. FML

Today, after several long years, a lot of debt, and two great degrees from a top university, I had to move back in with my parents, because no matter where I look, I can't find a job. FML

Today, my mother once again called me to remind me what a disappointment I am despite having two degrees, a house, a professional job and having never been unemployed at 25. FML

Unwanted

Today, I found out my mom had been telling everyone how independent I was and just wanted to be left alone. I was homeless when I graduated valedictorian from high school and wondering why no one would let me stay with them, even when it was snowing. Now I know. FML

Today, I realised that I wasted my teenage life just to be a parent pleaser. I'm in the final months of high school and while everyone is enjoying the last days, I'm sat here being a "good" son, listening to my parents argue, maybe divorcing. I'm in tears and can't go out as I'm not invited to anything anymore. FML

Today, I am one year away from getting a university degree. Unfortunately, my parents just kicked me out because I wouldn't drop out and work for free at our family's gas station. I'm now broke, homeless, and have no way to pay for school. FML

Today, after having spent years staying in school, working hard to achieve good grades, and avoiding all the bad kids, my mom accused me of having no direction in life and complained about how I haven't given her a grandchild yet. I'm 19. FML

Today, like every day, I scrolled through my social media feeds, seeing happy couples, people buying houses and landing their dream jobs. I, on the other hand, am a single 23 year-old man in a dead end job, who still lives with his parents. FML

End student debt

By Reluctant Scholar - 08/03/2022 20:00 - United States - Bloomington

Today, I'm in a US college. I could've gone into a trade or internship, but no one listened. Now, while my parents brag to their friends that their child has a degree, I'll probably be spending the rest of life in crippling debt, sleeping on the side of the road, and begging strangers for table scraps.

Today, my parents used to tell that me life gets way better after high school. Yeah, for everyone else at my school. They’re partying it up in college or travelling during gap years, meeting all sorts of people. I have to work more than full time because my parents kicked me out the week after I graduated. FML

Today, I had to stop going to university with 2 years left because my parents feel it's not the right course for me. I am 23 years-old, living with my parents, $2 to my name and no job. FML

So you're a 19-year old who was irresponsible enough to get knocked up, and you're complaining? Did you think someone would hand you success on a silver platter? Sorry princess, life doesn't work that way. You want to be successful? Work for it.

You were an honor student and couldn't read the instructions on a condom? or birth control pills?

ydi...but...what are you going to do about it? what you were does not necessarily define what you can make of yourself.

YDI for feeling sorry for yourself. It's hard but doable. Signed, Employed Single Father of Two.

Yeah...it's always the most popular people, overachievers and the ones voted most likely to succeed who never do. That sucks.

Not everyone deserves that. Although I doubt her situation is the same, my younger sister had a child at 15. When she found out she was pregnant, she refused to consider adoption or anything else, really. She and the father were "going to be in love forever". Their living situation was awful and I now have custody of the little girl. I'm 21 and the little girl is 3. OP, I'm in university as a double major, I have two jobs (one of which I'm at now), and I pay daycare and my mother to help me do these things. You can do it, you just have to make yourself get up and have some damn hope that things can/will get better.

FYL because your sex partner refused to take responsibility for his child and left you holding the bag. Stop complaining though because you have parents who are helping you. There a millions of women who are forced to go on welfare or work 2-4 jobs because the father of their child(ren) refuses to take responsibility. In the mean time suck it up. You can always find a retail job and arrange to have your parents babysit while you're at work. Once the child gets older it will be easier to find a "real" job. Also, make sure you get child support from your child's dad. It's half his, he should be half responsible for raising it even if that just means money for piano lessons et al.
