Kids: Today, my son's homework was to write a story about what he wants...

Today, my son's homework was to write a story about what he wants to be when he grows up. He wrote that he plans on being unemployed and living at home until we throw him out, then he'll live under a bridge. He's only 12, but already planning for a future as an unemployed bum. FML

Today, my son's teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He put down "unemployed". FML

Today, my son told me that he doesn't need to go to school because he doesn't need a job. It turns out he plans to get a life sentence in prison and live the rest of his life at the taxpayers' expense. FML

Today, I walked in on my son flopping around on the floor with a blanket wrapped around his legs. Apparently at age 22, he'd rather pretend to be a mermaid than go out and get a damn job. FML

Today, I got an angry call from my 7-year-old son's school. It turned out that while doing a "what I want to be when I'm older" assignment, he wrote that he wants to be an internet troll so he can make people mad and make them kill themselves. FML

Today, I saw my unemployed 29-year-old son, who still lives with us, reading the work section of the newspaper and prayed that he was looking for a job. He was looking for the comics. 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, as I was leaving home for my mall kiosk job, my dad asked me where I was off to. When I said I was going to work, he tossed an empty beer bottle to the floor, belched, and said "Bah! Get a REAL job!" He's unemployed and living in my apartment. FML

Dreaming big

Today, my son's plan is to become an entrepreneur, even though this requires having a brilliant idea worth money. This is the same guy who got fired from Subway for deliberately dropping bread on the floor so he could steal it from the bin later. I'm gonna kick him in the asscrack before the month is over, I know it. FML

Fortress of solitude

Today, my son hates people so much he's working three jobs to be able move out and pay for his own place. He got the keys today and when I asked if he was having a housewarming party, he told me he’s not giving his address out to anyone, and no one is invited, ever, not even me. FML

Sounds like he's got it all figured out

Today, my son apparently has no interest in having a life. He goes from his tiny one-bed flat to work, then back home again to play with his computer. It’s a good job, so he can afford a life, but he has no friends, never dates or goes anywhere, he even gets his shopping delivered. What can I do? FML

Ambitious much? Don't worry, 12-years olds think they're simply amazing, and he probably thought it was hilarious.

He's 12. Most 12 year old boys don't know what they want to be in their future. I'm sure he'll change his mind OP. Don't worry.

As a teacher myself, I would be happy if someone of my students wrote that kind of a story. It's way more creative than all those story's about being a vet/doctor/fireman/policeman... Anyway, it's a stupid writing exercise and your son is a genius. He was joking, don't worry.

Agreed, although when I was in school most teachers would never have taken a joke like that. When I think back on how most of my teachers reacted to "jokes" I told in school, I'm reminded of the "Independent Thought Alarm" from that episode of the Simpson's. My parents often received reports like this one from my teachers about things I had said or done which convinced my overly paranoid teachers that I was on the wrong track in life or that I was some kind of bad apple that was going to corrupt all the "good" students (most of whom were too doped out on ADD medication to know what was happening around them anyway).

Why does he bother doing homework? Hardcore unemployed bums don't need to polish their creative writing skills. Lots of unemployed bums are frustrated authors, but homelessness in not their career goal.
