Miscellaneous: Today, I am currently grounded for three weeks, have no car,...

Today, I am currently grounded for three weeks, have no car, cell phone, or television privileges, and am not allowed to spend more than 10 minutes on the computer a day. The reason why: I was seven minutes past my 9'oclock curfew. I'm 18. 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, I turned 18 and I’m now subject to adult discipline. My dad says I will no longer be grounded or have my phone taken away, but I have three strikes and if I get to three, he’s throwing me out to get my own house. He then gave me my first strike because I was 30 minutes late picking up my nana. FML

Today, my mom scolded me and threatened to ground me for coming home past midnight. Normally, it wouldn't be unreasonable, except for the fact that I'm 24 years-old, and that my parents live with me, in my own house. FML

Today, my mum took away my laptop and my phone and won't let me call, text, or go out with friends for one month. Why? I left the toilet seat up. I'm writing this from a public library. FML

Today, I was given a call home, a 3-day-suspension, and a week of detention in school for a "serious violation of the code of conduct." Said violation? Jogging in the middle of the hall. FML

Today, it's been three weeks since my parents went on holiday and not only have they not called me, they don’t answer when I call them… until today, when my mom finally called me, whilst I was having sex. She then sent me a text outlining how rude it was I ignored her call and grounded me. I’m 24 years-old. 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, I told my mom about the couple of times that I'd skipped classes during high school. She got really mad and grounded me for a month. That would usually be normal except for the fact that I'm 27 and live in my own apartment. FML

Clearly, he wasn't bad enough if his parents still get worked up over being 7 minutes late for a 9:00(wtf?) curfew.

Actually, it's quite likely real. I've seen a parents who're strict to that extent before, as well ones who're worse. I've got friends, who have parents that won't let them do anything, beyond eat, sleep and use the washroom, if they don't keep their grades at 98% or higher. What I'd love to know, is why most parents... are on either one extreme or the other, all I ever see is parents who're abusively strict, or the other end, parents who don't give a shit, as long as you aren't bothering them...Where are all the ones who're actually good parents, who reach a good middle ground?

I have them. I'd get good grades, and they'd let me do whatever I want on the weekend. Stumble in at dawn, etc. As adults, we are very close friends. I truly feel sorry to all the parents that fight so hard to keep their kids by their side in the wrong way (strict ridiculous curfews, etc), then lose them later on in life.

I had a curfew throughout high school and I still do when I'm home from college, but my parents are pretty mellow about it and I've never had problems or fought with them about it as long as they knew where I was. I think if you have parents who trust their kids and kids who dont abuse that trust then it's all good.

You gotta have a talk with your parents. Unless you're ridiculously irresponsible and have gotten into trouble a lot in the last few years, there's no reason you should have that kind of curfew or face such a harsh punishment for being 7 freakin' minutes late. Good luck getting through the punishment.

That's your parents' gentle way of suggesting you get a job and move the hell out.

Agreed #14 I'm 17 and my curfew is 10:00, which I think is ridiculous, but 9:00 is even worse. that just sucks. I think you should have a serious talk with your parents.
