Today, my mother asked me if my boyfriend and I were getting serious. I quickly lied and said no. She then informed me that if things ever heated up that she would take me to get birthcontrol. Wanting birthcontrol, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I am not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. FML

Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML

Today, I told my mom about the couple of times that I'd skipped classes during high school. She got really mad and grounded me for a month. That would usually be normal except for the fact that I'm 27 and live in my own apartment. FML

Today, I followed my daughter and found out she wasn’t with friends, she was on a date. I confronted her about the lie, but she takes after her mother, a lawyer, and steamrollered over me about invading her privacy, so even though she lied, she somehow has the moral high ground. FML

Blackout drunk

Today, I left a concert with my drunk mother who had spilled beer all over my shirt. I drove her home and she slept it off. Later, my mom "found" my shirt in the laundry and grounded me for drinking behind her back. She won't believe me that it was her. FML

Why did you cancel the date? If you would of let your date show up, your mom would of seen that you were telling the truth. It could of gotten you un-grounded. But seriously........sometimes, I think people think of the weirdest shit just to get on this site. This doesn't happen in real life.

That would be one horrible mother. But if you have no life, no friends, and no dates.. what is there really to ground you from?

Your mom is probably just crazy and doesn't want you to date because she is needy and controlling. Cut the umbilical cord.

A) who gets in trouble for telling a false story with no harm involved. B) How old do you have to be for your mom not to believe you 13? C) Fake story is fake

it's in these circumstances, where your mom is being ridiculous, that you say "**** you" and go out anyway.
