Alcohol ain't no joke

By WellPlayedMother - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff

Today, I discovered, after years of being grounded for losing my belongings, that I didn't actually lose anything. Instead, my mom drunkenly admitted to tossing my stuff away and then punishing me for it whenever she was mad at me. FML

Mom's drunk, she won't even know.

jeez guys don't thumb him down its a joke

No one on this site gets a joke when it's in the comments.

No, we understand all these jokes perfectly fine, but it doesn't necessarily mean you won't get downvoted for saying a bad joke.

Oh wow this is why I should not go on fml when I'm super tired because I read this as you being grounded for like two or three consecutive years over losing stuff. I need to go back to bed..

I read it that way at first too. No biggie.

Despite grounding you well, "well grounded" is not a phrase I'd use to describe your mother.

Grounded "well" by crazy bitch standards, maybe.

20 - But OP was the one who was grounded well.

My guess: people HATE antimetaboles, which are bits of rhetoric in which a sequence of words appears twice, but the order is reversed the second time. E.g. "I know what I like, and I like what I know." Or it's the fact that humor is entirely subjective… ;P

Nah man, humor isn't subjective. There's an FML god that watches over the comments and determines which are funny and which aren't.

Damn, that level of passive aggressive is almost an artform. It would be impressive if it wasn't disturbing.

As a parent it is inconceivable to me that people treat their children that way. Stay strong and It is my hope for you that you fill your life with people who care about you and treat you with honesty and respect. Peace to you.

I'm sorry but what do you mean by years of grounding.

Probably getting grounded several times over the period of a few years.

Oh I thought it ment like she list something and was grounded for a year

That is toxic as ****, OP. Cut her out of your life asap

Kinda difficult when OP still lives at home
