Today, my mother-in-law grounded me because I went to the store in the "dangerous" rain. My husband says that if I don't obey then we won't work out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 tried to ground me. In the apartment that I own. Because I didn't eat enough of the dinner that I'd made. FML
Today, my normally very modest and prissy mom came home, pissed off about something. I asked her what was wrong, but she wouldn't say, and snapped at me to "fuck off." She then grounded me for "making" her use that kind of "vile language." FML
Today, my mother-in-law told my fiancé that I had to leave and wasn’t allowed to live there anymore. I own the house. She’s mad because I locked the door so she couldn't walk in anytime she wanted. FML
Today, my parents grounded me because I refused to do my little sister's homework for her. 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, 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, 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, my mom and stepdad finally grounded my horrible, rebellious sister. The problem is that they grounded me as well in order to "keep me in line and make sure that I don't do what she was doing." 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

I'm not sure who is a bigger idiot, her for thinking that she can ground you, or your husband for taking her side.

This is overbearing to the extreme. I see physical abuse in your future since he's already this mentally and emotionally controlling. Divorce the bastard.

there was nothing in this FML to suggest the husband is overbearing or abusive. For all we could know he's just a whimp who's too spineless to stand up to his mother. That's not being overbearing or abusive.

your life may suck, but if you stay with your mama's boy of a husband, you totally deserve it. pack his bags and leave them on the front stoop with a map to his mother's house and a baby pacifier. and maybe an apron string.

YDI for letting him push you around and not knowing him well enough before yall got married. and if he is gonna give you commands like that its not gonna work out anyways, so why even bother?

Over protective much? Does she think you'll drown in the rain or something?
