Today, I told my son to go clean his mess of a room. He yelled, "Dobby has no master! Dobby is a free elf!" and walked off. He turned 18 a week ago. FML

Today, my parents gave me a sock and card for my eighteenth birthday. The card said, "Now that Dobby is free, get out." FML

Today, after several years of having her help me out by doing household chores, I bought my fifteen-year-old daughter a new pair of jeans. Her reaction was to squeal, "Master has presented Dobby with clothes. Dobby is free!" FML

Today, my son had a screaming meltdown because I told him to clean his own room and that I refuse to be treated like his personal maid. He’s 16. FML

Today, I cleaned my 21 year-old son's bedroom from top to bottom. When he got home from work all he could do was complain that the clothes that were on his "floordrobe"’ were "only worn once." This was my only day off, so why do I bother? FML

Today, I once again told my son he needed a job and a girlfriend because I simply could not keep him in my house anymore. He yelled, "No, I can do whatever I want!" Then went back to playing video games. He's 38. FML

Today, I turned 17. My parents completely forgot it was my birthday, and when I reminded them, my dad thought it was my 18th. He was ecstatic and mentioned that I can "finally get the hell out." FML

Today, I visited my dad. He gave the, "You live under my roof, you follow my rules" lecture since I didn't do my "chores". I moved out 3 years ago. FML

Today, at age eighteen, I finished moving out of my parents' house and into my own. The only person to even remotely give a shit was my sister, and that was only because I was taking the cat with me. FML

Get Out

Today, I came home to find that my mother had cleaned my room, and she'd done a very good job, too. So good in fact, that she even managed to remove all of the furniture, replacing it with a note that said, "It's time to go, sweetie XO". FML

I know it's frustrating, but you're not the one who has to live in his room. If he doesn't want to deal with it, don't make him. When he moves out and has his own place, he'll probably still be messy. As long as he isn't leaving messes anywhere else, just leave him be and let him live in his own filth. :P Maybe he'll eventually get tired of it and clean it of his own accord. That's how I was when I lived with my mom. If she bugged me to clean my room, I wouldn't. When I got tired of having clothes on the floor and etc., I took care of it myself without being prompted. He gets points for referencing Harry Potter though.

282, you got so many thumbs down because your opinion/advice only applied to you & was not only irrelevant, & illogical...it was downright wrong, bad, immature & nonsense (with regards to the rest of the population)...you'll understand when you're 40'ish & have a child 7 times worse than you were...lol...no, really!
