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 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

Judge and jury

Today, I turned 18 and I’m now subject to adult discipline. My dad says I will no longer be grounded or have my phone taken away, but I have three strikes and if I get to three, he’s throwing me out to get my own house. He then gave me my first strike because I was 30 minutes late picking up my nana. FML

Today, my mom scolded me and threatened to ground me for coming home past midnight. Normally, it wouldn't be unreasonable, except for the fact that I'm 24 years-old, and that my parents live with me, in my own house. FML

Today, my mum took away my laptop and my phone and won't let me call, text, or go out with friends for one month. Why? I left the toilet seat up. I'm writing this from a public library. FML

Today, I was given a call home, a 3-day-suspension, and a week of detention in school for a "serious violation of the code of conduct." Said violation? Jogging in the middle of the hall. FML

Logic

Today, I was grounded by my mom because I had slept in past 11, when she wanted me to wake up at seven to do chores. According to her logic, I should have seen the note she left on the counter earlier this morning. 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

Don't blame me

Today, I got suspended from school for smoking in the stairs. I'm grounded for a month without my phone, TV or any type of social connection. All of this would seem like a fair enough punishment if I actually smoked, but instead I just smell like my parent's second-hand smoke. FML

Clearly this isn't a first offense. Perhaps this poster is a common hussy and their parents want to control and protect them. Sorry they live at home...parents roof, parents rules. If they don't like it, they can walk out the door! It sucks, yes, but this prolly isn't a new rule.

that sucks. i remember when my stepmom was a bitch for stuff like that. now i'm 21, i do pretty much what i like. i hope things get better for you. just show your parents they can trust you and perhaps they'll lighten up a bit. good luck mate.

Dang. That definitely sucks. Then again, if you still live under the same roof as them there's that saying, "As long as your under the same roof you abide by my rules." Well, that's how a lot of parents are. XD Good luck with that! Hopefully the age 21 makes a difference.

When I came back from school after my freshman year my curfew was also 10 and even at 20, my curfew is still before midnight. It definitely sucks and its horrible. And of course it sucks that you got grounded, but until you move out you kinda have to listen to your parents because surprise surprise they give you money and pay your bills.

i can't wait for your next fml to be: "Today, I got the rest of my priveleges taken away from me. I am no longer able to leave the house besides for school, and my new curfew is now 7pm. Why? Because I spent 12 minutes on the computer when I'm only allowed 10. FML." ;)
