Today, I was having dinner with my boyfriend. We'd just got our food when my dad walks in, comes up to our table and says, "I didn't say you could leave, you're too young to be dating him", then drags me out of the restaurant. We are both 15, and it was my first date. FML

Make up your mind - was he your boyfriend or was it your first date?

You completely deserve it for breaking such a simple rule your parents set. You also deserve it for complaining about your father punishing you for violating this rule. That's like complaining about being in jail after you murdered someone.

Sounds like she had permission to go, and the boy even met her parents. She was told Dad "didn't say she could leave". Wouldn't be the first time a parent gave permission for something and then changed their mind. So she leaves, Dad thinks about his lil girl on a date, changes his mind and goes to get her. Otherwise, how did he know where she was? Maybe he didn't technically tell her she could leave the house after her date got there, but maybe she didn't think she had to ask again. Been there, done that. They could have walked, or one of his parents or older sibling took them. Maybe they took a bus or a cab. There are plenty of ways to get around. As far as I'm concerned, my son can date at 15. I'll take him to pick up the girl, make sure he treats her right. I'll sit at another table or something, but at least I'll be there. I'm hoping if I teach him right, i won't have to worry so much when he is old enough to drive. I had the overprotective mother from Hell. The woman has issues she really needs therapy for. I don't want to be that kind of parent. But I don't want him to be a spoiled, self entitled little shit either. I can see both sides of this situation. In the future, make sure Dad says you can leave before you step out the door. That way he can't use "I didn't say you could leave" as an excuse. In the meantime, be sure to complain about cramps and how bad your period is. Ask him to go to the store and get you some tampons. Throwing a fit about the event won't work, you'll have to get him back in other small ways. LOL

Even if that is the case, I think 15 IS too young to date. I dated at 15 and despite my parents teaching me the right way to do things, I was too inexperienced to know when a guy wanted more than just dinner. If you want to let your kid date that is fine, but I don't think kids should be dating until they are old enough to pay for it themselves.

Well, you can get a job at 14, and if you babysit or work at a family-owned business, you can do that from even younger, so who's to say 15 year olds can't pay for it themselves?

If that is the case then great, but the problem isn't that she can pay for herself or not, but that she was dishonest and went out when her father said no. If he said "You are too young to date" if doesn't matter if she won the lottery, she isn't and shouldn't go against her parents on things like this. If he told her to become a nazi then she should show her independence and leave but this is a small thing and shouldn't have even been an FML.

Yup, you have such a horrible life Op. Your father expects you to keep your word, follow his rules, tell him where you are going and to have the decency not to lie or sneak out. He expects you to have more dignity than to have your life revolve around one boy. I am sure you can take this to child services and they will pat you on the back and tell you how hard you have it. People get beaten daily for asking for more food, my best friend just told someone her step-father touched her for ten years. My half-sister had her biological father run into her wedding drunk and announce to the world what a "hot piece of ass" she was. My step-brother was beaten and ended up in the ER for going to prom with a "black" girl. So no, your father is actually (from what you have said) one of the good guys who looks out for his daughter and follows through with his word. I think being embarrassed about having a date ruined when your father told you no already is a little steep to think your life is ******.

Half the FML's on here are bitching about parents. Follow their rules until you're 18 and can move out. It's really not that difficult. OP, if your dad didn't give you permission to go, you shouldn't have gone. YDI.

Rude! When your teenage daughter sneaks out of the house to go out with a boy you disprove of. Do you think before you speak? If you are under the age of 18 and your father tells you no then you should respect your father. Unless there is something Op forgot to tell us, like her dad said yes and then took it back, then I am taking what I think from the FML. Her dad followed through with a punishment that fit the crime, sneak out of the house to go on a date and you get pulled out of that date.
