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

if you are paying for your own car, phone etc then your parents can't really stop you using them, and if they try then it might not be legal. but if your parents pay for this stuff then i guess there's nothing you can do, except get a job and pay for it all yourself, if you can. if i were in your situation i'd move out fo sho, but like #102 said you might need their financial support for your education, in which case i guess you don't have much choice.

I am sixteen and my curfew is 11, only because I can't legally drive later than that. As long as I behave responsibly and keep in touch about who I'm with and where I'm going, they let me do whatever I want (within reason). Have a talk with your parents. Talk about gaining more privileges if you can prove to them that you're responsible. And next time, don't miss curfew, as ridiculous as it might be. :)

The same thing happened to me last week, but I ended up getting home two minutes before the curfew. I was enraged. I had to get home at 10. If I had a better job I'd move the hell out.

Yes, you have a choice. Get out. Most people **** up their first go at college, and they'll just use that to constrict their slimy tentacles around you even further. It wasn't how I grew up, but it'll be good for you to get away from the psychological games ASAP.

Serves you right. Get on your own feet and move out.

Why? Not everyone is magically ready to go out on their own the minute they hit eighteen. He needs to make sure he can make it on his own before just moving out on a whim. I can hardly see why anyone says he deserves it.
