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

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

My Mum was talking about restricting my computer usage... so I bought a laptop. Parents can suck, but 7 minutes late for a 9:00 curfew? That's ridiculous. Oh well, hopefully you can move out soon.

so move out you dumb ****. it's their house and their rules. if you don't like the rules -move. or justbreak the rules and ignore them when they rant and rave then tell them to go **** themselves and steal money out of their wallets - like my kids.

Wow a 9 o'clock curfew. Now that's a 13-14 year old curfew. Now that's a little over the top for being only 7 minutes late IMO. Here's an idea kid get a job and move out. I've never (really) had a curfew.

like a ton of people have said, I hope you're going to college in the fall! If not, I'd start planning to come Spring. Can't afford it? fill out you FAFSA and get some loans. There are loans out there that your parents don't have to cosign on if you think that would be an issue.

My parents changed my curfew from 8:30, to 7:30, because for the first time in three months, I missed the bus to get home, and had to wait a half hour for the next one. I'm seventeen. It was a Saturday night. I know how you feel!

I'm 24 and I work full time and pay my parents rent as well are pay all my own bills as well as cover some of my sisters' expenses without asking for it back from my parents. I have an 10:30 curfew, and if I'm gonna be later than that I have to take one of my younger sisters with me the oldest of whom is 18. Don't you dare complain!

if you're able to pay your parents rent and cover your share of the bills, couldn't you move out?
