Smoke signals?
Today, my dad grounded me. Again. First it was my phone, now my watch. How the hell am I supposed to communicate now? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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

FINE!
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. 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

Today, my parents tried to apologize for wrongly grounding me. I told them to go fuck themselves, so now I'm re-grounded. FML

Today, my parents woke me up and grounded me for the "disrespectful" things I said to them in my sleep. Apparently I say these things every night, and each time I do they extend the grounding. FML

Today, my dad got a warning from our ISP for going well over their fair usage limit. I barely use our wifi, and I keep telling him he should password-protect our router to stop people leeching our Internet. He's blaming me anyway, and says I'm grounded until January. FML

Today, my dad grounded me for swearing, after I read a funny comment on Youtube to my sister. The supposed swear word? "YOLO." FML

Today, my dad made a big show of sending me to my room and grounding me for a week. Not because he heard me cursing at my video game, but because I "swear like a little girl" and it embarrassed him in front of his friends. FML

Isn't that kinda the point of being grounded?

There is always a way to communicate. It may take some thought and effort, but there is a way.

Could try, oh I don't know, talking?

Indeed so. That still requires effort and focus though, hence not taken for granted.

I love seeing modern kids complain about getting in trouble... usually just "my expensive things my parents paid for got taken away, now what do I do with my life?" Read a book, find some toys, start a revolution to bring down the bourgeoisie, reflect on what you did wrong... or wonder if life is worth it until you get "Their" shiny things back into your hands.

Maybe don't do things that get you grounded and you won't have that problem.
