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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad grounded me for not having any friends. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, my mom lost an argument and tried to ground me. I’m 43 years-old and own my own house, so yes, she actually tried to tell me to stay grounded in my own house. 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
Today, my mother asked me if my boyfriend and I were getting serious. I quickly lied and said no. She then informed me that if things ever heated up, she would take me to get birth control. Wanting birth control, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I'm not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. FML
Today, after my mom picked me up from the mall, she asked me what was in my bag from Gap. I wouldn't tell her, and she ended up grounding me. It was her Mother's Day present. 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 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
Today, my dad grounded me. Again. First it was my phone, now my watch. How the hell am I supposed to communicate now? FML
Today, I checked my Facebook to find I had been tagged in a bunch of photos from a party I had attended last night. On each picture I had a comment from my mom saying, "You're grounded." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

AGREED!!! That is absolute BULLSHIT!!!! Nobody, especially your mother of all people, should be spreading those lies!!! The people who wrote that magazine deserve to burn!!!!
DjeePee 25
Nobody deserves to burn. It's only an opinion, a very bad one, but still, freedom of speech for everybody.
DocBastard 40
No, the only people who deserve to burn are those who wish an unnecessarily painful death on others.
hotair10 9
and witches!!! They should burn at the stake!!!!
BadKitty13 28
Why should Witches burn at the stake ? Did they do something to you that you have to be mean and vindictive ?

well I agree with watching your kids while their dating...the whole teen pregnancy epidemic is at large... but my mom was controlling like that and as soon as I moved out I went crazy with freedom. parents these days don't know when to quit or just don't give a shit anymore.

isn't Utah full of crazy mormons? just call the Feds and tell them you are being held against your will
sevans 0
technically it doesn't matter since op's still a minor. they'll just call it parenting.

excuse me? I'm a Mormon, we aren't crazy. I agree the mother is being completely ridiculous but that has nothing to do with being mormon.

Don't take it personally... most people are going to assume OP's mother is religious because of how "strict" the magazine is, how backwards their opinion is and how she agrees with it.

plus the fact that op lives in Utah. everyone assumes that all residents of Utah are mormons. like it's a state law to live there or something.
