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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up early, went to the gym, then came home and showered. When I went into my room to change, my mom woke up and started pounding on my door, screaming about how lazy and useless I was for sleeping so late. When I tried to tell her otherwise, she grounded me for "talking back". 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 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 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, my mother woke me up by loudly vacuuming the house. I had to work the next morning, so I asked her what she was thinking. She told me that if I was really tired and needed sleep, I wouldn't have woken up. It was 3 AM. FML
Today, my parents grounded me because I refused to do my little sister's homework for her. FML
Today, I wanted to do something nice for my mom. So, while she was sleeping, I cleaned the whole house for her and even made her breakfast. A few minutes later, she came downstairs and yelled at me to keep it down because she was trying to sleep. 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 parents made me wake up at 7 a.m., like every morning. When I woke up exhausted, my mom rolled her eyes and said, "It’s called going to bed earlier." I went to bed at 10 p.m. last night. I fell asleep at 5 am. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wait, 11:00 P.M. right? 11:00 A.M. is just an urban legend.

First of all, your mother is really stupid. Second, you should've seen the note. Third, FYL.

Yeah so she spelt you're wrong. Everyone makes mistakes in life

True, but the fact she called him a dick, I felt I had to humiliate her. She had no reason to call him such a name.

So the mother is stupid for putting the note there while OP was asleep, but they should have seen the note anyway? Your comment makes no sense.

I feel so bad for these people that post stories like this. Their parents seem so difficult to deal with.

*sigh* mom logic.

Once my mom told me she wasn't going to take me to school fifteen minutes before it started since I hadn't cleaned the kitchen properly. I walked, or rather ran, to school and was 30 minutes late. -_-

My dad is that same kind of idiot, but I'm still having trouble figuring out how OP's mother can actually be that stupid.... It's not great... :/

Okay I'm having a hard time here...so who are you agreeing with? You cant say the mom is stupid and you should have seen the note then to top it if FYL...makes NO sense.

79 YOU failed. But I won't tell you how. I'll leave it to my fellow nazis.

That’s when you say “cool” and go back to bed.

Gotta be careful of them chores... Bite ya in the ass don't they?... So do those early morning notes I guess xD

So do surprise Allied invasions while your on vacation, eh Rommel? :D (for non-WWII people, D-Day occurred June 6th, 1944, right when Rommel, the German commander who was supposed to be in charge of the defense of the Normandy coastline, was on vacation in Germany.)
l23VIVE 17
Well technically he was celebrating his wife's birthday....
Rommel1942 9
Plus Rommel not being there had nothing to do with it. Hitler didn't release the panzer reserves so that led to Normandys downfall. Otherwise Normandy wouldn't have been lost
airforce987 20
Bah, if Rommel was there on the 6th, he wouldve said, "**** Hitler's orders, give me my panzers!" von Rundstead couldn't get Hitler to release them (because Hitler was not to be woken!), but Rommel wouldn't even have bothered with Hitler at all.

Personally, I'd rather be grounded than woken up by a howler... The screaming and bursting into flames thing is just too much to handle first thing in the morning.... :L

Sounds like a trap. If your mum really wanted you to do chores she would have woke you up.
luckyd880 12
You all don't wake up at 7am every morning to check for important notes lying around?? Ya neither do I.
patrickalamo 48
Ok you prob. have the same chores every weekend and this is prob a reoccuring issue. If not apply for a new mom.

"Now seeking age 40 Caucasian female." Yeah, lemme know how that works out.

How are you supposed to read the note while you're sleeping? There's absolutely no logic there.

Hence, the FML.

Next time whole she's sleeping leave her a note saying that your going out, then leave Maybe that's how her logic works

and then OP will get ground again for the opposite reason.

Your mom and my mom should go bowling sometime. I got grounded for getting my hair cut... I was 16.
micahsmommy 13
You were only grounded because you didn't save the clippings for your baby book. These are important memories you're tampering with.
Michael_92 20
Were you drunk too? Maybe that's why she grounded you.
