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

For those of you who apparently are unaware, the shit has kinda hit the fan, and people living with their parents at 18 is becoming more and more common simply because money issues have become such a big deal that, for some, it's unreasonable to expect them to be capable of moving out at 18. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not impossible, and I intend on getting out as soon as I can (not just the house, but the friggin' state) but still, it's not completely absurb for people to live with their 'rents at 18.

I'd say man up. Your 18 and an adult now, and although still living in your parents house, and needing to follow their rules, you need to talk to them about changing the rules. Sit them down, talk rationally, explain the situation and go from there, get feedback on what they want from you and express what you want aswell, otherwise the situation will never improve. I think they need to see you talk to them responsibly, with honest concern, and not any kind of emotional tempertantrum. If that doesn't work, maybe you need to show a little defiance, I mean being grounded at 18? For 3 weeks? Thats rediculous, and I wouldn't expect that of anyone near your age. If all else fails, join the military, you get away from home, you get paid for it, you have a place to stay and money to do with what you want.
