Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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

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."

The real reason you moved in so he could take care of you, wasn't it? You're an idiot if you play along and be grounded.

Should have phrased it "Today, my grandfather grounded me. I'm a 25 year old married woman living with him to take care of him. FML Unless your birthday/wedding was today and yesterday you were a 24 year old/unmarried woman. Or you got a sex change and were in fact a man, as #111 stated.

To the OP- And you laughed in his face and told him that you could do whatever you wanted, right?

So leave... And the phrasing of the need "Today," is awful; it reads like you're only 25 for the day, and you're also only caring for him this one day. You fail hard.
