Today, I got a computer. When I opened it, I found out that my dad had made himself the administrator. He made it so everything shut off after 11 o'clock, and made it so I couldn't download anything without his password. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my dad was sat on my laptop in the living room trying to learn how to do some rewiring around the house when he, and I quote, ”clicked on the thing.” My laptop is now riddled with so many viruses it’s basically a house brick. FML
Today, my mom borrowed my computer without my permission and downloaded a virus. I came home to a blue screen of death. She refuses to admit fault and pay for a new computer. FML
Today, I found my brother tampering with my laptop. He had changed the entire settings, in ways I don't even know how to fix. I finally had to get my mom to threaten him to change it back to its original setting. I'm 15. He's six and can barely get dressed by himself. FML
Today, I got a blue screen of death on my brand new computer. Why? My parents installed an "anti-virus" before I got home. FML
Today, I borrowed my dad's laptop to type an essay. While I was saving it, I noticed some curious looking files and I opened them. They were rejection letters from all the colleges I had applied to. My dad had been forging them so he wouldn't have to pay for my tuition bills. FML
Today, my dad learned how to use the parental controls. I now have an 11 o'clock curfew. I am 17. FML
Today, our work computers are down so I've been trying to fix it via my home computer for 3 days. My 12-year-old son took one look at the screen, changed 2 settings on a drop down menu, and the problem was fixed. My 12-year-old is better at my job than I am. FML
Today, I was having computer problems, so I let my friend have remote access to fix them. We were video-chatting on Skype at the time, and so he thought it'd be hilarious to load hardcore porn in my browser the moment he saw my mom enter the room from behind me. I'm now grounded. FML
Today, my mom thought it would be a good idea to see what websites I go on from my computer while I wasn't home. She clicked the link that gave my computer a virus that I just got rid of a few days ago. FML
Today, I let my mother use my computer for school work. Later that day my mom asks me what's wrong with the computer. I look at it, only seeing a "Welcome to Windows XP" screen. She said that she saw a blue screen and pressed L and C when it asked her to. My mom managed to clear my hard drive. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just download tons of horse **** on his computer. When he asks why, tell him that for some reason, you couldn't download anything on yours so you used his instead. :D

Same thing happened to me, just google it. It took me about 15 minutes to find a solution and shut off the parental control. YDI if you can find a way around.

Thank God for parents who love their kids enough to set boundaries for them. I know it seems to suck now but later on, hopefully, you will see that he is trying to help. So many kids today are spoiled, evil, selfish little imps. Hope you dont end up one of them.

I see nothing wrong this, working in the computer repair field I see computers come back from the same people every few months because their kids get them infected with all sorts of bad guys. I'm guessing your dad got fed up with it and decided that he wanted you to stop ******* the computer up.

My dad did that last year. I'm attending a higher technical College on biomedical eneneering since three years and lerning to make my own porgramms since I started attending that school. He still thinks I can't handle a pc.

You don't state your age. If you're under 13, then I'd say your Dad may be controlling but he's the boss. If you're above that age, he should trust you by now, if he doesn't then there may be a reason for what he's done.

No **** for you, huh?

Same with me but I'm 13. If you're an adult, then that is a true FML.

If this computer is your own (as in, you paid for it in full), he had no right to do that. If you did pay for it and he won't budge, reformat it (as in, clear the entire hard drive, install vista again and start new. Don't do it unless you know what do to, ask a nerd friend). If it's not your own, there are many ways to bypass security on XP, extremely hard ways on vista, and if you're on a mac (which I highly doubt), you can by pass security in under one minute. Google various ways, and if nothing works- deal with it or buy a key logger. I had to sit around with that type of computer for my entire jr high life, it's horrible and annoying.
