Today, I was grounded for not agreeing with an article on dating my mom found in a very strict magazine. The article told parents to monitor phone calls, make rumors about their children cheating on people and not allow their children anywhere but home. 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, 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 that she would take me to get birthcontrol. Wanting birthcontrol, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I am not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. 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, I checked my Facebook to find I had been tagged in a bunch of photos from a party I had attended last night. On each picture I had a comment from my mom saying, "You're grounded." FML

Today, I am currently grounded for three weeks, have no car, cell phone, or television privileges, and am not allowed to spend more than 10 minutes on the computer a day. The reason why: I was seven minutes past my 9'oclock curfew. I'm 18. 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, 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, it's been three weeks since my parents went on holiday and not only have they not called me, they don’t answer when I call them… until today, when my mom finally called me, whilst I was having sex. She then sent me a text outlining how rude it was I ignored her call and grounded me. I’m 24 years-old. FML

The first and third I can understand from a strict parent. The second is just plain wrong.

Honestly, that is the most fanatical nutcase mum i've ever heard of. Mate, that's just messed up. Your mum needs to see a shrink. Kids kill themselves over parents like that. F@ck.

I feel like this is very dramatized. And those are not Mormon ideas. whatever magazine that was it had nothing to do with mormons.

First, Mormons don't teach that. Second, I think this is trumped up of an article I DID see in the Watchtower magazine.

There seems to be a vibe in the comments that this came from a Christan magazine. Now I don't know a whole lot about Christianity but I'm pretty sure lying about your children is not generally encouraged. I'm a dad of two little girls and I can understand wanting to keep them as babies and not wanting them to get hurt. Monitoring calls is sensible (depending upon their age) and keeping kids at home is extreme but understandable. Spreading lies about them? That's crazy. FYL.
