FINE!
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML

Today, my parents tried to apologize for wrongly grounding me. I told them to go fuck themselves, so now I'm re-grounded. FML

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, my dad came home drunk off his ass. So drunk that he couldn't manage to open the refrigerator, and ended up punching it in a fit of rage. When I tried to calm him down and get him to bed, he told me to fuck off, and grounded me. FML

Today, my dad made a big show of sending me to my room and grounding me for a week. Not because he heard me cursing at my video game, but because I "swear like a little girl" and it embarrassed him in front of his friends. FML

Considering that the biggest part of that particular punishment is supposed to be keeping you away from your friends, I guess the joke's on him? But seriously, what does he hope to achieve by doing this? 'Oh, that'll teach my kid, bet they're gonna go out and look for friends right away. Oh wait, they can't, because I just forced them to stay at home. Still, I am reasonably certain this helps somehow.'

It helps because being grounded has a stigma attached to it. And then when OP tells everyone about it they'll be laughed at by all their friends... Oh wait...

Seems like we're missing huge chunks of info here.

Isn't it the same as if you would told a fish to stay in aquarium?

You don't have friends, so he grounds you, meaning that you can't even go out to make friends... Seems legit.

He wants you to make some imaginary ones.

But why ground you? It's not like you have anywhere to go
