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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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, I'm a 22 year-old guy with a 11:00 pm curfew. FML
Today, my dad learned how to use the parental controls. I now have an 11 o'clock curfew. I am 17. 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
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
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

Really? I'm fifteen and my curfew is 11:00, and if I'm a few minutes late nobody cares. It's kind of stupid for you to have a curfew at all at eighteen, considering you're a legal adult. Why is that rule even in place? Sure you live in their house, but what difference does it make to them if you come home at 9:00 PM or 3:00 AM as long as you're now loud when you get home? It's not like it's a rule like, "Mom and dad decide what we watch because it's their TV" or something, that makes sense. What I mean is, if you're eighteen, regardless of the fact that you're living in their house, what difference does the time you come home at make to them?

For my parents, it was a matter of courtesy to them. My mom likes to stay up until she knows I'm home safe, and so my curfew was 10:00 on week nights and 11:00/midnight on weekends because she had to go to work the next day and didn't want to be up until 3:00am. Usually if you respect your parents they'll respect you back and give you some freedom.

I can understand wanting to stay up until your kid gets home, my mom can't sleep until I'm home safe and sound either, but at some point you have to kind of let your kids go a little. I totally get what you mean though.

That sucks. I'm 14 and my curfew is so much later than that. I feel really bad for you. Definitely rebel against your parents.

yea... if the op really wanted out of the situation (s)he'd just leave, its not like the parents could do anything about it.

YDI for living with assholes like that for 1 second longer than necessary. And since you have none of the stated privileges, it must be b/c they pay for all that stuff, and as such, they have every right to take it away for any reason whatsoever, or for no reason at all. Maybe your parents are totally OK folks who are trying to motivate your deadbeat ass into getting a job and a place. Quit whining and start looking for apartments.

not that simple buddy. the economy is in shambles. not too many 18-year-olds have full-time jobs and can afford things like rent, bills, groceries... for my college apartment rent alone is $370
