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."

YDI for marrying your grandfather. Your children will be ugly and cross-eyed.

If your husband isn't the type to care if you hang out with the girls until 1:30 once in awhile and wouldn't mind it if he were there, that's no one's place to judge. If that's the case, he probably would feel you DESERVED to hang out with your riends because you probably need a break from grandpa anyway. That said, grandpa probably forgot or he felt married women shouldn't be going out late anyway. Since you're taking care of him, it really would have been more respectful if you would have paid someone else to be there with him. he still would have been mad about it, but at least someone would have been there for him. He probably did stay up late because he felt it was his duty and probably wants to gult you into staying home. "Girls night out" doesn't necessarily mean you're cheating on your husband but it is pretty late to be staying out for someone who is supposed to be grown up. That isn't something you deserved though, he's just a little senile.

Whoa... chillout a bit! No need to start jumping to conclusions and getting uppity about 'respect'. From the tone of her FML and explanation, the OP seems to see this as a vexatious, but harmless and humerous event. You, on the other hand, seem to be very anxious to assert how 'respected' and in control you are. Looks like someone feels a little anxious about power...
