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

wow to all of you saying op's parents are harsh.. I'd say not really! I've gotten way worse when I was around that age! now that I am 22 living my own life, seeing from their perspective i'm glad they did it. seriously if I ever become a parent I'd give out curfew as well. not as strict as my parents did for me, but I would. i will let my kids live and make their choices, but society these days glamourize everything, sex, drugs, alcohol!

Alright, so you are 18 years old, and you got grounded... It's time to suck it up and join the adults in the real world. You go home, turn your TV on, take your cell phone and do whatever you want on the computer. Then when you go out on the town, don't come home until you damn well feel like it. You are a legal adult, and you're parents are ******* retards for trying to pull that. If they don't like it then move out, that is if you've got a job. In which case if you don't you should get one so your parents can't take your shit away, because you will be paying for it.

ok, ur parents need to loosen the hell up, only person that can make them do it is you, i mean, if you use ur computer, and go out and stuff, what r they gonna do? ground you some more? just tell them to go **** themselves like every other teenager in the world. conservative parents who make an 18 year old go to sleep at 9 are just plain crazy

I've been in your shoes, OP. My curfew was 10pm, but there was hell to pay if I was even 1 minute late getting in. You have a few options - You could move out of the house, though I recommend you have a good paying job, an auto insurance policy of your own, your own cell phone plan, etc. It's going to be expensive, ridiculously so. But that's what it takes to move out on your own. I pay over a thousand dollars every month for all my expenses - Can you do that? You could remain at your parents house and start saving up every cent you get from work. That'll take a little while. And you still won't be financially secure when you finally move out. Or you could find friends to stay with at an apartment, and that'll cut down on some of the expense for you, but you'll still need a good job and all the policies and plans mentioned above. Still expensive. Basically, it's a much better deal staying at home. Be a good kid and stay there until you can deal with the responsibilities of being an adult!
