Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML

Today, my mom and dad got into a fight, during which my dad said to my mom that her health conditions were of her own doing. Because of that, I got pissed and had a fight with my dad, taking my mom's side. Turns out, my mom took his side and ratted me out. 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, my dad got so drunk that he had an intense argument with the microwave, resulting in him threatening to ground me after I tried to calm him down. FML

Today, my dad came home drunk off his ass. So drunk that he couldn't manage to open the refrigerator, and ended up punching it in a fit of rage. When I tried to calm him down and get him to bed, he told me to fuck off, and grounded me. FML

Today, my horrible parents turned up to the restaurant I work at just to mess with me. Dad forgot his wallet, what a surprise, and asked me to pay the bill. I refused so my manager got involved. My dad got arrested, I got fired and might lose my lousy flat if I’m late on the rent. FML

Today, my parents started fighting at a restaurant. Embarrassed, I went to the restroom to get away and stayed in there for about 15 minutes, knowing how long their fights can last. When I came back, they were gone. They'd ditched me, and left me to walk several miles back home. FML

Today, my parents took me out to dinner. I thought they were taking me because it's my birthday. Turns out they are getting divorced. They forgot it was my birthday. 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, my parents and I went to the movies for my mom's birthday. After the movie, my mom and dad got into a fight, and left me at the movies. My cell phone was dead, and my house was about 12 miles away. They finally came and picked me up, hours later. FML

hahaha, seriously, i agree with #14. i'm sure a simple lie about explosive diarrhea or something would have done the trick.

So your dad thinks deceit is the way to romance? Regardless, the whole situation is ridiculous. A bit of an FML for having a dad who wouldn't at least lift your punishment or talk to your mother about it after the dinner. But mostly YDI, if only because you let your excuse and fight get that far.

OP could've hopped online and posted this before the punishment was reversed. or not included the revesal because it made the perfect fml

You either gave a bad excuse, or your father's going to have to cover for you. It sucked at the time, but yeah, it'll be fine by the next day.

FYL for having an idiotic father. Seriously, would saying "honey, I was thinking we could go out to dinner tonight, just the two of us" be that hard to do???? Some men, I swear....they're still in the caves. But...YDI for not saying something along the lines of "Dad indicated he wanted it to be just you two, so I'd rather stay home if that's okay". I've learned the hard way that when your dad comes up with a romantic idea, you should probably take charge of the situation before it turns into a big shitty mess.

YDI for not being your own person and going along with his idea (also, how the hell does this escalate to a fight resulting in getting grounded?). But he's a dick for suggesting it in the first place.

"how the hell does this escalate to a fight resulting in getting grounded?" some parents are not rational, hun. At all.

My Dad does it all the time. I'm my own person... And, I've also never managed to piss my Mom off by not going. Just say "Hey Mom, I'm not feeling good, I would rather stay home" and if she starts getting upset, ask why. its not that hard to deal with an emotional parent and avoid punishment.
