Today, my dad took my phone away. This would be fine if I was 14. I'm 22 and pay for all of my own bills. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my mom took my phone away because of a huge mistake I made, which we need to go to court for. I own the actual phone but they pay for the line. I'm autistic with severe anxiety. I'm also 34 years-old. FML

Today, I was involved in an intense argument with my dad. Just as I yelled, "You haven't done one thing for me", my phone rang. The same phone that, as of today, my dad no longer pays the bill for. FML

Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML

Do as you're told
Today, my parents forced me to do chores. I worked extra slow to rebel against their tyranny. My dad then said I'm not allowed to get my learner's permit for another six months and took away my phone. FML

Today, my mobile phone wouldn't turn on. I took it in to the phone store, but they won't fix or replace it because the account is in my dad's name, not mine. He's abroad for the next month, and the only way to get a hold of him is on a number I only stored on my phone. FML

Offroading
Today, my dad took my phone away because I "had to be texting while driving in order to wreck my car." I was too ashamed to tell him that a huge bug flew into my face causing me to veer off the road and into a brick mailbox. FML

Blame game
Today, my dad tried to blame me for ringing an out of network number for two hours, which charged his bill by the minute. I rang the number, which turned out to belong to one of his business pals who lives abroad. He punished me anyway for having an attitude when I proved the call was his fault. FML

I have to agree with you getting the police involved. He obvioulsy has a respect issue and that would (or atleast should ) snub it out if you have a police officer come over, you make a report and state who took your phone and let your father know that the next time he pulls some immature crap you WILL press charges. It may seem extreem, but in the same respect so is taking a grown adults phone Who is obviouslt mature enough to work and pay her bills. He has no place taking anything you own and pay for, for any reason

Tell him that he gives it back or the cops get a phone call about it. You're a grownup now, and when he takes your property, it's called theft.

you kind of deserve that for letting him take it.

If you can't stand up to your own parents at 22, you stand little chance of standing up to strangers! Also, this site was more than likely made by someone over 25, the same as all sites like this. Dont forget kids, we remember life before the internet.

How can your dad control the phone in your own house or apartment? Your place, your rules. If you live with him in his place, you aren't paying all your own bills.

unless you're in college, move out asap. nobody needs to be treated like a 12 year old at your age unless they are clearly asking for it.
