Kids, Relatable, ACAB and Parents: Domestic

Domestic

Today, my mom tried to ground me, even though I moved into my own flat to escape her. I told her 'my flat, my rules' so she tried to confiscate my Xbox because 'she’s the boss of me.' The look on her face as the cops took her away was worth the shouting match we’ll have when she makes bail. FML

Today, my mom tried to ground me. In the apartment that I own. Because I didn't eat enough of the dinner that I'd made. FML

Today, my mother told me she thinks it is time for me to move into my own place. I agreed with her and went to look at studios/flats online. She later came into my room, saw me looking at places and then got pissed off at me, saying that I hate her for wanting to leave her. FML

Today, my step-mom tried to ground me. I met her just yesterday, when she moved in. FML

Today, my mom called to chew me out for having my sister arrested. My sister broke into my apartment, rearranged my living room, and claimed she now lived with me. She then threatened me with a butcher's knife for not appreciating what she had done. My mom wants me to pay the bail. FML

Today, my mother and I got into an argument, and she told me to go to my room. I refused, prompting her to slap the shit out of me. I'm 29, and she was visiting me at my own house. 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 mum yelled "Son of a bitch!" as I narrowly beat her at a game of Mario Kart. I jokingly yelled back "Hell yeah I am!" Now I'm grounded for two weeks, birthday included, all because my mum's a sore loser. 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 briefly left my laptop while I went to use the toilet. When I came back, I found "I" had posted on Facebook, calling my mom a "stupid cunt who should just stay in the kitchen." The only other person home at the time was my grandpa. She didn't believe it, and permanently grounded me. 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

Great job getting the upper hand on her!! This FML is insatiably satisfying. I recommend adding more salt to those wounds with a restraining order and possibly cutting her out your life for good. **** manipulative people. That goes for family members too.

Screw that. Change your locks and call the cops again when she comes to yell at you. Great job setting that boundary

Exactly. Some say family should never not speak, but my life improved greatly when I cut my toxic grandma and other relatives from my life and haven’t looked back. I would definitely get that restraining order though, because I already know mom going to come for you.

You and the cops are wrong! Your mom will always be your mom, and she always knows that grounding you is for your own good. You must have done something really disgusting. It's such a bitch move to get cops whose moms didn't love them to abduct her.

I wish I could add about 50 'dislikes' to this stupid comment of yours. You don't know OP's history or mental state or how this comment will influence them. A joke is a joke but this is not funny. **** you.

Good for you. Stay strong in your boundaries and I second the order of protection if she’s showing an inability to learn from the prior arrest.

how did she get in, did you give her a key? she's your mom you know how she is. you put yourself in that situation knowing something could happen. deal with family shit on your own don't be a bitch and call the cops. you could have prevented the whole incident from occurring if you didn't let her in.
