Today, I got into a fight with my mom over the chores, and stormed out. When I returned later, I found the house had been egged. My mom told my dad she saw me do it, and he won't believe my side of the story. He says I'll be lucky if I see sunlight this summer. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my mom and dad got into a fight, during which my dad said to my mom that her health conditions were of her own doing. Because of that, I got pissed and had a fight with my dad, taking my mom's side. Turns out, my mom took his side and ratted me out. FML
Today, I got into a fight with my mom, and stormed out of the house. I walked two blocks before realizing that I have no place to go, and no friends to vent to. FML
Today, my mom and siblings got into a fight. Being generally quiet and non-confrontational, I stayed out of it. Shortly thereafter, I was yelled at by my mother for being "ungrateful" and "disrespectful." I still don't know what I did wrong. FML
Today, my dad and I got into an argument, and he ended up calling me a son of a bitch. My mom heard and started arguing with him over him calling her a bitch. Three hours later, I'm now staying at my gran's house with my mom and hoping her threats of a divorce weren't for real. FML
Today, my mom spent an hour lecturing me on how I'm a doormat who lets people walk all over me, and that I needed to be more assertive. So I stood up and told my dad, no, I am not going on that forestry camp he wants me to go to. Mom sat silently by as he screamed and grounded me for the entire summer. FML
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. 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 mother threw an egg at my face with force because I returned home 5 minutes late to dinner. FML
Today, I got into a huge fight with a girl at school. My mom and dad decided to punish me by letting my three older brothers pick out my wardrobe for the next week. FML
Today, I got into an argument with my dad in his hotel room. I lost my temper and stormed out onto the balcony for some fresh air, at which point he decided to lock the door behind me, trapping me there for half an hour while he watched TV. FML

I learned a long time ago that when your mom tells you to do the dishes (or any kind of chore), you should just not argue and do the dishes. Saves your ass from shit like this man. Anyway, I hope you get un-grounded before the end of summer!

Your Mom is an absolute child for blaming you, especially since she really didn't see you do it. I'm willing to wager that she did it herself, which makes her even more childish. And guys? Some families put WAY too many chores on their kids and just sit around all day while the kid does all the work. That's how it was with me. As soon as I moved out, the place went to absolute shit because my fatass Mom refused to get up and clean anything herself. She'd gotten used to me doing everything instead. It's fine to teach responsibility. But it gets to be a little sad when the kids are contributing more to the household cleanliness than the home owners themselves by a huge margin.

Well, you were immature, but I see it runs in the family. I'll assume you're mother didn't load the chores o you like you were Cinderella, but rather gave you a normal amount that you threw a hissy-fit over. However, blaming the egging of the house on you is just making her a sorry excuse for a mother. Mom, Woman and ground him yourself for not doing his chores, none of this passive aggressive framing. How ca you expect your kid to learn good morals from you if you lie to your husband so that'll he'll do the dirty work? Are you incapable of disciplining your own kid? And do you have to cover up the real issue? Your son isn't beig punished for not doing his chores, he's being punished because you were petty.

Children will be children, but an adult should set the standard and behave like an adult. The mother lost all moral high ground when she framed her own son, not to mention lied to her husband about their child. BTW, you know OP's mom probably won't read your comment, right?

You have no reason to make the assumption that OP threw a hissy fit over a few chores. Given that the mom has shown her immaturity, it's not unlikely that she gave OP more than his fair share of chores, and he got angry because she was being lazy. Not definite, but not unlikely.

I know she probably won't ever see this, it's just easier for me to write coherently when I pretend I'm talking to someone. your_face, I thought it would be fair to give the mother some benefit of doubt.

Shouldn't have argued over it, just move some stuff around until you feel like completely doing the chores.

We don't know the situation or what it was regarding chores that they fought about. OP could have refused to do their chores, which is bratty and irresponsible. Or it could be that OP did their chores and mom was nit-picking or mom kept adding last minute stuff for OP to do, which is what my mom does when she knows I'm about to go out. What we do know is that the mom deliberately lied to get OP in trouble. Frankly, she wasn't teaching respect or responsibility; the only thing she was teaching is how to be a spiteful liar.

I have to side with OP on this one. Given that his mother lied rather than simply punishing him for what he ACTUALLY did, I'd have to say that's a pretty strong testament to her character. I doubt ANY child could get along with a mother like that. She's the adult--she should act like it.

On the positive side, you can go and egg the house in frustration as your already getting punished for it...
gracehi 33
Yeah! Then he can blame his mom for it! BRILLIANT!

Something tells me your mom egged the house... Sorry OP.
KBear3109 29
Well that's spiteful. And while I agree that chores need to be done as they help to prepare you for being on your own, telling an obvious lie is not setting a good example. All that showed OP is if you're younger it doesn't matter who is telling the truth, just who is more believable.

Chores are better than rent. YDI. Oh and thanks. You just gave me an idea to use on my kids.

Respect... You may not get everything you want but I'm sure as parents they give you everything you need so out of respect for them just do your chores... You got exactly what you deserved as for your mom, all I can say to her is: Well played!

Glad someone finally agrees with me.

Apparently lunacy loves company.

Respect is a two way street. Yes, as the youngin, you should give respect first, but remember, everyone is human. If you don't give respect no matter who you are, it WILL bite you in the ass in the end

128 - I disagree. The parents have to be the first to show respect, or the child won't learn it.

Everyone keeps referring to OP as a "child" when I'm pretty sure he oughta be 17-18ish to be posting on this site, no? When does he accept personal responsibility for "stomping out" and just accept that he was wrong for not obeying? Jeez.
