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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad grounded me for not having any friends. 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 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, I'm grounded for literally the whole summer because my parents found out that I was still seeing my grandma behind their backs, even though they banned her from ever seeing us again after she spanked my sister. 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, 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 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 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, my dad grounded me. Again. First it was my phone, now my watch. How the hell am I supposed to communicate now? 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What religion encourages spreading lies, even if it is a means to end?

Why would it matter? This FML doesn't even mention religion at all. I hope you're not trying to start something perdix.

Often, but not always, "strict" is associated with religion. I'd lay odds that my guess is pretty good.

Christianity for one. Judaism is another. Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Paganism, and Wican are just a few.

Pip - Let's just sum it up and say all of them.

Wouldn't it just be easier to say you're not allowed to date? That seems like a lot of effort on her part. She must know she's doing a piss poor job of raising you if she will have to go through all that to keep your virtue and morals intact.

I can see this going a lot of ways but none of them are good for you, OP. All I can say is that college may have to be your primary goal. i.e. GET OUT!

Unless their mom forces them to go to college locally so they can live at home, and mom can pick them up and drop them off at classes. Sometimes I wish you could just rage quit your family!
