Today, I went downstairs to get a drink and overheard my grandparents talking about me. They spent a good 15 minutes double-team attacking me for my failings as a human being, mainly me not being married with children yet. I'm barely 20. FML
Today, the day after my grandfather's funeral, my grandmother informed me I have 30 days to move out. I've been living with them for four years, helping take care of my sick grandfather. She's already changed the locks and won't unlock the door. FML
Today, my step-mom tried to ground me. I met her just yesterday, when she moved in. 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 dad grounded me for not having any friends. FML
Today, my mom baked cupcakes for my visiting grandparents. Later, I saw my grandpa chowing down on them. Even later, my mom demanded to know why there were a dozen cupcake wrappers on my bed. I've essentially been framed by my own grandpa, and am now grounded for a month. 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 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, I got grounded because I didn't send my aunt a Mother's Day present. Not only is she not married she doesn't have kids. FML
Today, no one warned me that my grandfather was slipping into dementia. I proudly brought my new baby to meet him, only for him to burst into hysterical tears that I was a teenage whore, who’s now brought shame to the family. I'm 30 and married, but he still tried to hit me with his cane. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

haha. Ignore him. I would. I love my grandfather but if I was living with him to take care of him, there's no way I'd pay attention to him if he tried to ground me :P I'd be like "do you want me to move out? No? I didn't think so."

Hey, OP here- Here's the scoop: My husband is deployed so while he is gone I have moved in with my granddad who is obviously, as much as I love him, very set in his ways. I had planned a girls night to hand out at a friend's house and told him about it days in advance and asked him multiple times not to wait up as the doctor constantly reminds him that he needs more sleep. When I came in at 1:30 he was waiting for me, and very mad.

Haha, awwww. That's kind of sweet. Did you then remind him that you're 25, though? Still, kind of adorable. Shows he cares :)

Why are you married to your grandpa? I'm sure that being grounded is screwing up your dating, and I'll bet your husband is glad for that.

I was writing my original comment while the OP posted her "explanation" (#38) of the sitch! Looks like I nailed it! A girls' night until 1:30 AM? Bullshit! Grandpa's just trying to keep you from ******* around on that husband of yours. Bus. . . Ted!

OP very clearly says she went to 'hand out' at a friend's house in her explanation. Grandpa obviously knew WHAT she was handing out.
