Today, my family was discussing the new rules of the house we are moving in. They told my sister she couldn't have any boys in her room. They didn't tell me I couldn't have any girls in my room. Even my parents think I can't get a girlfriend. FML

Today, after returning from taking my sister off to college, my parents told me that our house would be a lot quieter with my sister gone. Not because she's loud, but because she has friends and I apparently don't. FML

Today, I was helping my dad move into his new house. It's a 4-bedroom house and he has three kids so it's perfect. I was wandering around and noticed that the first bedroom is his, the second is my older brother's, the third is my younger sister's, and the fourth is an office. I have no room. FML

Today, my mom won't let me have the extra hotel room she booked all to myself, even though it's just me, her, and my sister. Basically I can share a room with her or with my sister, but I can't be alone. I'm 23. FML

Today, my brother and his girlfriend are fighting about something they agreed on YEARS ago. Every couple of months this argument comes back and his girlfriend changes the rules or the definition. I can’t believe she gonna become my sister-in-law. FML

Today, I found out that if my husband and I move to another country to live, then his mom and sister will live with us too. I'm already living with them because of societal traditions. I like them and everything, but I really need some privacy. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I had a fight about his parents. We're both 23-year-old university students who aren't allowed in his bedroom unless the door is completely open. Nothing he says to his parents will change this. FML

Today, I was visiting my in-laws and sharing a room with my husband's 17-year-old sister. Later that night she and her brother of 24 years started fist-fighting over an air mattress and I had to pull them off each other. The brother later berated me with, "You can't handle any pressure!" FML

Great parenting

Today, my sister is upset that I won’t upturn my entire life by letting her kids stay at my house 4-5 days a week. She decided to move in with her boyfriend after one month, before even introducing him to her kids. Now he’s decided he doesn’t like the kids, so she wants me to keep them. FML

Thats just how parents are, way more protective over their "little girl" when it comes to the opposite sex

Maybe they specifically aren't forbidding you to have girls in your room...

Yeahh, the double standard sucks! I'm not allowed to have sex before marriage(f that), but if I were a boy, my parents would not care... But i don't think guys should get it easy just bc they "can't get pregnant". At least if your own daughter is prego, you can make her have the abortion....if someone elses daughter gets pregnant, it's up to them if they want to keep the kid and they will sue for child support...and guess who will likely be paying...

So when you say that they THINK you can't get a girlfriend, you mean that they KNOW.

supid, think twice. it's not that they don't think you can get a gf, but that this is just the way it is...: parents forbid their little girls to meet, because no matter how emancipated females may be, there's still a notion of females being more vunerable (especially in an emotional sense) than males. that's why they forbid your sister boys' visits and they don't forbid girls in your room.

How old are you? Are you older than your sister? Maybe it's because you're older and they think it's okay. If not, then look at the bright side. You were never forbidden to have girls in your room!

That is the case of sexism... Sorta. My parents do that all the time to me and my brother. He gets to do a lot more things than me. And I do a lot more chores than he does. You shouldn't really complain about this. It's more of an F-your sister's life than FYL. Parents are always a little more overprotective to girls than guys. So you might want to think twice before thinking it's an FML.
