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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Ok. Let us have a little look at Ontario laws, shall we? 1. OP said that she got "home from dropping [her] boyfriend off". This means that she is old enough to drive without a licensed driver in the car, ergo she has her G2. This means she is at the very least 16 years and 8 months old, assuming she got her G2 that day and took driver's ed AND got her G1 on her 16th birthday. 2. The age of consent to a sexual act (not including sodomy -which is ridiculous but this is neither the time nor the place for that debate) is 16 years old. Once you are 16 you can legally have sexual encounters with anyone who is less than 2 years younger than you (unless they are over 16 as well) or of any age older than you, unless they are in a position of authority over you (ie. a teacher or instructor). Given these two clear and obvious facts, even if she is on birth control because she's having sex, it's completely legal. The government has declared her able to consent to sexual actions, and just because her father doesn't believe her to be ready, doesn't mean she's not.

Wow. YDI for letting your dad ground you at this age.

So... your dad wants you to have unprotected sex and end up getting pregnant?

No, he doesn't want her having sex, and the fact that she went behind her back and did it anyway got her grounded.

Why did you name your alarm? My alarm on my phone doesn't even have a name. It's not hard to remember what the alarm's for. I've been on birth control for over a year and I discovered I don't even need my alarm. My body's internal clock knows when it's 8pm now (time I take my birth control). (Sorry, this is off topic, I just think it's really cool that I automatically know when it's 8 o clock even if I haven't looked at the clock for hours. I'll get this feeling, look up at the clock, and it will be within 10 minutes of 8 o clock. I still use an alarm just to be sure though. I've never missed a pill) Anyway, you don't deserve to be grounded for having sex. It's your body and your choice, in my opinion.

I'm sorry, but does your dad really think he can ground you when you're of age and possibly already having sex? Too late dad, the deeds been done, and grounding an of age daughter can't really stop her from having sex. Just saying...

So many defensive people in these comment threads! People, her dad would probably know if she were taking BC for purposes other than having sex. Obviously he grounded her because he found out through her alarm so obviously she was hiding it from him. And why hide acne from your dad? I could see heavy flows being embarrassing though. Either way, YDI for being too obvious with the alarm.

Birth control can be used for multiple reasons, not just to prevent pregnancy. Your dad is a jerk for not discussing the alarm before grounding you.

At least you were being responsible and having contraception...
