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

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.

You might want to get her checked, if she's getting older, it might be dementia. That is, she might have forgotten you were actually 27.

This isn't really a FML since your mum has no authority to ground you and there's nothing she can do about it so you can easily ignore her and live your life as normal. This is more of a, "Guess what my mum said," thing. It would be pretty funny if you decided to ground yourself anyway, though. You should do that just so you have a funny story to tell people.

Look on the bright side: You don't need to obey that grounding, so it's basically a "**** YOU" on your mom's face.

I think this is fake... and if it isn't, well there is nothing she can do. You can still do what you want with your life and there is not damn thing she can say about it. I still think this is fake though.

YDI for allowing yourself to be controlled by your 'rents! I mean you have to be willing to be grounded if your parents ground you at that age. God that is pathetic! You cant ground someone who doesnt even live in your house, grow some balls!

I fail to see how your mother can really do anything at all at this point. FYL for having a crazy mom, but not because you're grounded.
