Today, I told my mom I was going on a date tonight. She laughed and didn't believe me. When I tried to convince her it was real, she got mad and grounded me for lying. I had to cancel the date. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I told my mom I was going out to hang out with some friends. She looked me dead in the eye and said, "Don't lie to me." FML
Today, after my mom picked me up from the mall, she asked me what was in my bag from Gap. I wouldn't tell her, and she ended up grounding me. It was her Mother's Day present. 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, my mother asked me if my boyfriend and I were getting serious. I quickly lied and said no. She then informed me that if things ever heated up, she would take me to get birth control. Wanting birth control, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I'm not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. FML
Today, I told my mom about the couple of times that I'd skipped classes during high school. She got really mad and grounded me for a month. That would usually be normal except for the fact that I'm 27 and live in my own apartment. FML
Today, I followed my daughter and found out she wasn’t with friends, she was on a date. I confronted her about the lie, but she takes after her mother, a lawyer, and steamrollered over me about invading her privacy, so even though she lied, she somehow has the moral high ground. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to visit from another state. My mom didn't want me to go to his hotel, but I did. When she asked about it, I lied to her and said I didn't go. She the showed me a picture of my car outside his hotel. FML
Today, my dad forgot it's my birthday. When I told him about it, he accused me of lying and threatened to ground me for a week. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, I left a concert with my drunk mother who had spilled beer all over my shirt. I drove her home and she slept it off. Later, my mom "found" my shirt in the laundry and grounded me for drinking behind her back. She won't believe me that it was her. FML

Why did you cancel the date? If you would of let your date show up, your mom would of seen that you were telling the truth. It could of gotten you un-grounded. But seriously........sometimes, I think people think of the weirdest shit just to get on this site. This doesn't happen in real life.

That would be one horrible mother. But if you have no life, no friends, and no dates.. what is there really to ground you from?

Why are there so many FMLs about parents who don't think their children can get dates/friends? What parent is really so mean? and if you're young enough to get grounded you're too young to be dating. It's just puppy love anyway. =]

So you didn't ask your mom if you could go out that night? So were you picking her up? You should have had her call you at home and talk to your mom. YDI

Grow a pair. Easily resolved by calling your date and handing your mom the phone.

That sucks. And to be honest you really shouldn't have to "prove it" by putting your mom on the phone with your date, or making her show up if you were planning on meeting, etc. Just go. Assuming you're old enough that you weren't depending on your mom for transportation or something of the like, you should keep the date, and pick the pieces up later, if there are even any to pick up. It'll work in your favor because she'll appreciate you kept the date regardless and if things work out, you will have proven everything without using any tactics people have been mentioning. This is coming from someone who's parents have always had a similar "prove it to me; I don't believe you" mindset.

If you are young enough to get grounded, you are definitely not old enought to date!
