Today, I'd gotten home from dropping my boyfriend off when my dad said, "Your phone's been buzzing." I had a text saying, "You're grounded" from my Dad. My "Take your birth control" had been going off for a half an hour while I was gone. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my phone went off, reminding me to take my birth control. Instead of vibrating as per usual, it rang. The ringtone had been changed to my boyfriend singing "It's birth control time, birth control time, take your pill, or I'll say it ain't mine." I was sitting in a quiet waiting room. FML
Today, my daughter had just left for a date with her boyfriend. All of a sudden, she runs back in the house screaming "I forgot to take my birth control!" That is not something a father wants to hear. FML
Today, my daughter had just left for a date with her boyfriend. All of a sudden, she runs back into the house, screaming, "I forgot to take my birth control!" That is not something a father wants to hear. 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, she would take me to get birth control. Wanting birth control, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I'm not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I came back to my house after a night on the town. Thinking the house was empty, we had sex. Just as it was getting good, my phone beeped. It was a text from my mom, saying, "Quiet down. Even your father can tell you're faking." FML
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, I was using my dad's cell because I had broken mine. I was texting my boyfriend all day when my dad needed his phone back. I forgot to tell my boyfriend that my dad would be using the phone. My boyfriend then texted graphically what he wanted to do to my dad. FML
Today, my parents grounded me and told me I can forget about going to prom, Grad Bash, and getting a new car for graduation. My mom was cleaning my room and found a pack of condoms in my dresser drawer. Oh, and they made me call my boyfriend they didn’t know about to tell him it was over, on speaker. FML
Today, as I was driving my dad home, I got a text message. My dad, who doesn't want me texting while I'm driving, decided to read the text message to me. He began to repeat a message from my boyfriend recounting the amazing sex we had the night before. FML
Today, my dad took my phone away because I "had to be texting while driving in order to wreck my car." I was too ashamed to tell him that a huge bug flew into my face causing me to veer off the road and into a brick mailbox. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Okay your dad's probably an idiot. Seriously. Birth control doesn't always mean you're sexually active. If you're old enough to drive your boyfriend around (without an adult also in the car with you), you're old enough to take birth control for your own reasons. At least in my opinion. Plus, you weren't texting and driving at the same time. He should be happy about that.

So ... your Dad would rather you were irresponsible & fell pregnant? Is that what he's trying to prove? Fail Dad, Fail.

Wow, you guys are being harsh on the dad.

Sorry, but I'm on both ends here. FYL for having a dad that's a general douchebag about your birth control, but YDI for leaving your phone at home. Maybe you wouldn't have been grounded had your dad not seen your birth control alarm. Though I agree. If you're old enough to drive, you're old enough to take birth control.

Her ringtone didn't say that. Her phone was on VIBRATE. Her dad checked the outside of the phone and saw the words "Birth Control Pill" on the alarm. That's all.

Why would you set your alarm to say "birth control pill"? My alarm on my phone says "pill" when it goes off. My sister's says "BC". Be a little more discrete about it! However, if you're being grounded still, you probably shouldn't be on birth control or having sex.

Dear Lonely_Lez: I really wish people would stop with the whole "You are pro-abstinence? You must be a rigid Bible-thumper!" I'm not religious at all and my affiliation isn't even with Christianity anyway. I am pro-abstinence. I am not pro- abstinence-only-education. See the difference? I know it's possible she's not having sex and the BC is for other things, but I don't think this would've been an FML if she had been able to explain it for a medical reason. Are you serious? You think she'll cut her parents out of her life just because they don't want her to have sex at a young age? Um... no. But I agree that grounding is an ineffectual punishment. I think she should've been punished somehow though. Open discussion is wonderful. Fear tactics are stupid. I agree. I think her parents should've talked with her frankly about this topic long before this moment. I also think her parents probably know better than her, through life lessons, and they are just trying to stop her from making a choice that she lives to regret. And she should have listened. I know so many people who had sex early (even when they did it responsibly) and regretted it for the rest of their lives because the high school/college boy they did it with ended up being a jerk who they never saw again. And the stories are a lot worse when they *didn't* do it responsibly. On the other hand I also know a lot of people who waited for marriage (or a relationship of about that caliber), knew they were mature enough to make that decision with a partner who they wanted to spend their lives with, and said it was the best thing they could have done for their relationship. I just think it's so much more special that way. That's all. Point is, the consequences of having sex young are a lot worse than the consequences of waiting. However, I agreed with you on a lot of things here, so I really don't know what it is about my opinion that you oh so "actively disagree with"....

See here's a magical thing called when your parents ground you, you say **** you and do what you want. It's really quite simple.
