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, my dad gave me a twenty minute lecture about responsibility and how lazy he considers me to be. He then yelled at me for not making his bed and getting his clothes off the floor. FML

Today, I went to visit my father. His new wife has hoarded out our childhood home nearly to the point of it being unliveable. That’s pretty funny, considering my dad used to literally beat us if our rooms weren’t clean or we left dishes in the sink. FML

Our house, in the middle of our street

Today, I overheard my parents planning on how to get me to move out of the house. It's my house. They only came to visit and forgot to leave. FML

Today, I had an appointment. After 2 hours of waiting in the sun, my mom finally picked me up and lectured me on how irresponsible my dad was for not communicating with her. Not 5 minutes after I got home, my dad showed up and gave me the same exact lecture about my mom. FML

Today, it's been a few weeks since I moved into my own place, so I decided to visit my parents. I rang to ask for a good time to come over but all I got was basically, "Nope, you’re moved out now, a grown up, no longer our problem, ring us when you get some girl pregnant with our first grandbaby, bye."

Today, I moved back in with my parents in order to help them with the mortgage, so they don't lose the house that has been in our family for three generations. I also found out that I now have a curfew, and so does my husband and our 3 year old son. FML

Today, my mother called me, telling me how disappointed she was at how I let my room "become such a pigsty." I haven't lived there in three years. FML

Say the same thing to him when he visits you.

It's true that you have to follow the rules in someone's else's house. But it doesn't include doing work for their lazy ass.

I moved out a year ago, but I still do chores when I go home. Not because I have to, but because I want to in order to help my mom. Maybe that's just me.

I still help my parents with laundry when I go to their house. It was always my job as an adolescent, and my mom has had a hard time adjusting to doing it herself again. It's never a bad idea to help mom out.

I am sure y'all don't get in "trouble" when y'all don't help.

It depends on what he's asking you to do. If these "chores" are to clean up after yourself, then I agree with the dad. My sister and family just visited me this weekend and left a hurricane of a mess with dirty towels, sheets and dishes all over the place. It was a lot of work for me getting my house back in order. It would have been nice if she didn't act like she was at a hotel and I was her maid service.

Maybe he's making up for the 18 years you lived with him where you didn't do the chores.

Not that you shouldn't help out your dad, but the way this is worded (at least, hopefully it's only the way it's worded) sounds like your dad has either a drinking problem or is displaying the early stages of dementia for that kind of lapse in memory. Hopefully he was just trying to be sarcastic...I mean, my parents called me and my brother by each other's names all our lives but they still know neither of us lives there anymore.
