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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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

Actually, facepalm is a 1.5x multiplier, so now it's 6 weeks.

my principal does that, but with detentions instead of grounding. if you try to explain how really you didn't do anything, she goes "don't talk back! now you'll sit double!" it's really annoying

I guess your mom thinks you're a super daughter/son and will automatically wake up to see a note she left on a counter. You know, I know something else that may have worked; there are these things called phones now. She could've just called you to make sure you got up -__- FYL.

Or she could have knocked on the kid's door to wake up. Do people only talk by phone in your home?

If you had gotten up at a decent time you would have seen the note. I think you missed why she was yelling at you.

#25 No, but since the mom left a note on the counter, I assumed she wasn't home to tell her daughter/son to do chores. So, the next best thing is using a phone.

She didn't see the note! Maybe she would have done it willingly.

OP, ignore everyone telling you YDI for sleeping in. Is that not what the weekends are for? Frankly, your mother should have informed you the night before she needed you up early. I don't understand parental logic sometime, I once got grounded because my mother thought I snuck out of the house. Why did she think that? Because she forgot she had stuck a pizza box in the fridge the night before and thought I had snuck out, gotten pizza, and brought it home. Parents seem to have amnesia when it comes to finding opportunities to ground their children. It's like they find joy in making life difficult for you at times!
