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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

i feel your pain. being 18 didn't count for shit in my parent's house. even mine were more reasonable than that, but i'd get some evil ass looks coming in a couple mins late. but when i was 18 my curfew was 12, not 9. yeeeesh. definitely time to work on moving out. start looking for roommates! oh wait. you can't use the phone, car, computer, or go out. i really hope at least with all these rules you aren't paying rent also, because that would be total bullshit.

I'm glad my parents were never like this lol I haven't ever had a curfew I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you probably betrayed their trust somehow, there has to be more to this than just you coming back 10 minutes late. You probably reeked of smoke or alcohol, something like that.

I doubt it. If they are 18 and their curfew is 9, the OP's parents must be super extreme and probably WOULD ground them for coming in 7 minutes late... and OP FYL. I sincerely hope you are going away to college in the fall, and if your parents aren't letting you, get a job, save up, file for financial aid and get the **** out of there come spring. And sub-lease an apartment near your school in the summer, cuz I know from experience nothing is worse than having freedom all year then returning home to be treated like a child again.

You don't like your parents' rules, then try to support yourself. I'm sure you'll be happy to live under their roof once you try to support yourself in a ghetto studio apartment on McDonald's wages. YDI.

I actually work full time at McDonald's when acting work is hard to come by and live in a really great 3 bedroom flat with 2 really close friends and still have some extra money to go out and live a real life. It's a much trickier thing to do when you're a student, which the OP quite possibly is and therefore doesn't have another option other than living at home. This guy is legally an adult and really shouldn't have to deal with such strict rules at home. Don't act like you were the perfect little child either, no one needs your condescending bull.

LOL that blows, my curfew at 18 when I still lived at home was whenever I showed up.

I'm not sure if I believe this... That's insanely harsh.

Someone needs to move out.

If you pay for the car/phone or whatever it is not legal. Move out or just point out how stupid/annoying they are being. (works in my house) I am 16 and don't have a curfew.

Your life was fckd before that if you're 18 with a 9 o'clock curfew. Sounds like your parents suck.
