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, 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, 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 dad grounded me. Again. First it was my phone, now my watch. How the hell am I supposed to communicate now? FML

Today, I checked my Facebook to find I had been tagged in a bunch of photos from a party I had attended last night. On each picture I had a comment from my mom saying, "You're grounded." FML

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 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

Today, my mother asked me if my boyfriend and I were getting serious. I quickly lied and said no. She then informed me that if things ever heated up, she would take me to get birth control. Wanting birth control, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I'm not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. 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, 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

What religion encourages spreading lies, even if it is a means to end?

Why would it matter? This FML doesn't even mention religion at all. I hope you're not trying to start something perdix.

Often, but not always, "strict" is associated with religion. I'd lay odds that my guess is pretty good.

Christianity for one. Judaism is another. Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Paganism, and Wican are just a few.

Wouldn't it just be easier to say you're not allowed to date? That seems like a lot of effort on her part. She must know she's doing a piss poor job of raising you if she will have to go through all that to keep your virtue and morals intact.

I can see this going a lot of ways but none of them are good for you, OP. All I can say is that college may have to be your primary goal. i.e. GET OUT!

Unless their mom forces them to go to college locally so they can live at home, and mom can pick them up and drop them off at classes. Sometimes I wish you could just rage quit your family!
