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

Oh. My. God. My eyes are bugging out. Seriously. That's how you make psychopaths who never trust anybody and have no ability to interact with others. Funny thing: Most teenagers are reasonably sensible.

Sounds legit. Yep let's keep you out of school and obliterate your social life. School has men, men wants sex, sex causes Chlamydia, which results in death. On a serious note, I'm going to assume you're under the age of 17. It seems like the best thing to do in this case is just focus on school and not date. Your parents are doltish morons and it really doesn't seem like you're going to win.

72 is right. Whoever wrote that article must be an idiot. Controlling your children like that is sick. And illegal. I thought you weren't allowed to denigrate a person or restrict their freedom.

It's really annoying me that people are saying that Mormons are crazy and are insulting their parenting. While I'm not a Mormon, and I don't agree with this magazine article at all, I have a lot of Mormon friends that wouldn't agree with this either. All the Mormons I know are perfectly normal everyday people and so are their parents. Even the strictest parents I know would be appalled at this. You can't make comments on Mormons based on sterotypes or by the one or two Mormons you know, because they're not all like that. So please consider what you are going to say and how much you know about what you are saying before you say it.
