Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML

Today, my normally very modest and prissy mom came home, pissed off about something. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say, and snapped at me to "fuck off". She then grounded me for "making" her use that kind of "vile language". FML

Today, my mother-in-law told my fiancé that I had to leave and wasn’t allowed to live there anymore. I own the house. She’s mad because I locked the door so she couldn't walk in anytime she wanted. FML

Today, I was grounded by my mom because I had slept in past 11, when she wanted me to wake up at seven to do chores. According to her logic, I should have seen the note she left on the counter earlier this morning. FML

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, I was grounded for not agreeing with an article on dating my mom found in a very strict magazine. The article told parents to monitor phone calls, make rumors about their children cheating on people and not allow their children anywhere but home. FML

Today, my parents told me that they've been having a contest to see who could punish me the most this week. So far, my mom is in the lead by kicking me out of the car near railroad tracks, and making me walk the 4 miles home in the freezing rain. FML

This is a win for you. just don't accept the grounding from this crazy woman, and you'll be able to get rid of your crazy husband too! Though it sounds like he has no balls and is probably just bluffing with the whole "it won't work out" thing. So you'll have to be the one to file the divorce, and he'll probably get more of your mutual friends. fair trade still.

WHAAAATTT if that happened to me, I'd be like "WELL any guy who tells me to obey his mother who thinks the rain is dangerous won't work with ME" Seriously, wtf? Dangerous rain? Do they live under a rock? Are they fire pokemon? Wtf is the problem? Really, if he's serious, this really isn't gonna work =____=
