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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom scolded me and threatened to ground me for coming home past midnight. Normally, it wouldn't be unreasonable, except for the fact that I'm 24 years-old, and that my parents live with me, in my own house. 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 mom lost an argument and tried to ground me. I’m 43 years-old and own my own house, so yes, she actually tried to tell me to stay grounded in my own house. 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 told my mom I was going on a date tonight. She laughed and didn't believe me. When I tried to convince her it was real, she got mad and grounded me for lying. I had to cancel the date. FML
Today, my mom noticed that there weren’t any tampons in the trashcan during my usual time of the month, and promptly grounded me. I’m not pregnant, I just skip periods sometimes. FML
Today, after my mom picked me up from the mall, she asked me what was in my bag from Gap. I wouldn't tell her, and she ended up grounding me. It was her Mother's Day present. FML
Today, I woke up early, went to the gym, then came home and showered. When I went into my room to change, my mom woke up and started pounding on my door, screaming about how lazy and useless I was for sleeping so late. When I tried to tell her otherwise, 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So if you live in your own apartment, how is this a FML? Just don't listen. Duh. I know 13 year olds who know how to rebel against a grounding in their own home better than this.

I call BS. What sort of infantile mind would actually think his mother grounding him when he's 27 and living on his own is a FML situation? Most likely she was joking, and if the OP thinks it belongs on FML, it's because he's an idiot. I'm 27 and live on my own. When I was 17, I was told by my mother that if I went to Detroit to see a particular movie, she would ground me as soon as she found out. I did go and I didn't get caught. I told her about it a couple years ago, and she said "YOU'RE GROUNDED!" Except I'm not stupid and knew she was joking.

17 even seems a little old for grounding...just saying.

If this did happen, she more than likely was joking and more than likely is getting a laugh out of you thinking she still has that authority over you.

she must have been joking and YDI for not realising it. but if not you're an idiot for actually paying attention to it. I'm 16 and if my parents ground me I don't listen and personally i think anyone who does is a ******.

#40 - Damn right. He's nothing but an ignorant child, and thus deserves no respect. The little boy can have his bigoted views, but is in for a shock when he toddles out into the real world.

I kinda agree with number 26 here....to me it is kinda sad if you let your parents ground you past 16-17.

That's not an FML...just a funny story until you tried to make it an FML.
