Today, since I was grounded, I tried to sneak out of my room to attend a party by climbing out the second-storey window and down the tree. I was unharmed, but I probably should have checked to see if my dad was in the garden before climbing down. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I snuck out of the house to go to a party. When I got back later, I tried climbing back up the rope-ladder I'd set up earlier, leading back through my bedroom window. I was halfway up when it broke free. I sprained both my ankles and had to shamefully ring the doorbell to get back in. FML
Today, I slipped out my bedroom window at night in an attempt to rebel against my parents. Then I realized that I have no friends and nowhere to go, so I tried to climb back in. I fell, broke my ankle, and laid in the dirt until my parents found me in the morning. FML
Today, after I was locked out of my apartment, I went down the leaf-filled ravine behind the building to get to the fire escape ladder, climbed up four stories and over the balcony, then wiggled through the window on my stomach onto the living room floor. Now I'm back inside and paranoid about robbers doing the same. FML
Today, I tried being rebellious for the first time in my life by sneaking out past my curfew. I tried to climb out of my bedroom window to stealthily leave the house. I ended up twisting my ankle when I tried to make my "great" escape. FML
Today, after a few beers, I was exiting the bathroom of a loud house party when the door jammed. I had to climb out through the shower window. It was fool proof until my foot got stuck. I hung outside the house upside down in the dark yelling for an hour before someone figured out where I was. FML
Today, I was trying to sneak home from a party. Instead, I head-butted a glass door and woke my mother up. FML
Today, I found myself locked out of my house. I had to squeeze myself through a tiny window around the back. While hanging upside down, my hood fell over my head. My dog ran through to investigate the noise and ravaged me thinking I was a burglar. I then fell and broke my wrist. FML
Today, while on the roof of my friend's house, I took a shortcut down by jumping onto the roof of his nearby shed. Not only did I go right through it and hurt my arm, I've also received several calls from my friend's dad, demanding I pay for the damage. FML
Today, I was locked out of my house. With no other available option, I decided to try and ninja my way through a window. However, as it turns out, I would make a terrible ninja. I now have a sprained ankle and a broken window. FML
Today, I went to a party and the cops came to bust the party. I jumped out the window of a second story house in order to avoid getting arrested. I broke my leg in three places and got a concussion. The cops let everyone go with a warning. FML

Are you still unharmed?

I'm sorry but no party is worth me climbing out a second story window. I rather not have a life than have a broken neck.

You sound like an idiot. I wish you had been harmed.

Mama bear, I think you're a bitch for wishing harm on someone who did you no harm !

I'm sorry, I must have misread this. It almost sounds like you were grounded, decided to act like a dumbass and sneak out, and got caught. Surely you aren't THAT big an idiot, right? Sounds like you deserved to be grounded in the first place and even more so now. I hope your father practices some real parenting so you actually LEARN SOMETHING. Idiot.

Yet, another glaring example of spoiled, self-absorbed children that think they can do what ever they want.

I'm no grammar Nazi by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm not sure how this FML would surprise anyone just based off of the way it was worded alone. I'm fairly certain an English teacher somewhere just committed suicide after reading this.

You tell them!

As a southerner I would say when the kid does this while being grounded a whupping is in order. Sometimes that is the only thing that gets their attention and brings the proper chain of command back in order. I know this from experiences with my kids. Sometimes the sheer humiliation of it does the trick.

The way you have worded this sounds like you are training a dog.
rubberduckie94 13
I am training my children to know that all actions have consequences. When they CHOOSE to rebel against the original punishment something else must be done. My son has not put a toe out of line since the last time this happened. And yes, he is a well adjusted, funny, smart, and happy but if he needs to be embarrassed in order for him to stop acting a fool(southern saying sorry grammar nazis forgive me) I will be happy to oblige.

So, what you're saying is that OP's dad should spank him? I think he/she is a teenager, and anyways, it's wrong.
rubberduckie94 13
I feel the need to explain things better. We use corporal punishment only as a last resort. When grounding, taking away media, writing lines, ect does not work(and it usually does) we do use it. Granted our children are not older teens, when they are older teens we will use something else more than likely, but then again maybe we won't we will cross that bridge when we come to it. I am simply saying that in this case it would possibly happen at my house. Op is acting like a spoiled child so maybe they need to be treated as such.

That happens in the north to stupid

Whenever I catch my kids who are grounded sneaking out, instead of punishing them right away, I give them a choice, they can go where they wanted to go and be grounded for an additional 3 weeks or they can go right back into the house and not go and only be grounded for the original timeframe, and be given a pass. I only allow them 2 free passes, so they need to decide whether its worth the additional time or not.
DocBastard 40
You're a lot more generous than I. No passes at the Bastard household.
rubberduckie94 13
Amen Doc. That is crazy to see them sneaking out and let them go on and go even with additional punishment.
mike3775 39
I do it this way because I actually force them to decide whether its worth being grounded longer then what they normally would be. Surprisingly, its very few times they actually leave, they usually turn around and go right back in. But once those free passes are used, I catch them sneaking out again, they are totally screwed when they get home, especially if they sneak out after 10pm or so, because I will lock their bedroom window that they left unlocked, and lock and deadbolt all the doors into the house, and remove all the hidden keys around the outside of the house, so they either have to ring the doorbell or sleep outside when they come back.

At least you used the word "storey" correctly. I'm almost ready to forgive you just for that.
The_Tool1 13
I thought it was story? I never knew it was second storey.
micahsmommy 13
Storey = British English Story = American English.
perdix 31
I learned it was "storey" for the level of a building, and "story" for account, tale, narrative, etc. In America, no less!

It's spelled story. Perdix fail.
The_Hitdude 12
^ It's spelled correctly. It's British English. They literally just went through this. Callout fail.

This is news to me
micahsmommy 13
Garden means yard in British English. Most places overseas teach that form of English and OP is from Singapore.

You are one of the biggest idiots on FML. Congratulations on getting your ass caught. YDI

I believe you spelt "story" incorrectly. But that sucks on getting caught.
