Miscellaneous: Today, my dad grounded me for two weeks for profusely swearing...

Today, my dad grounded me for two weeks for profusely swearing at my misbehaving laptop. After some arguing, he actually accepted my half-joking offer to play a game of CoD over it. His condition was that if I lost, my grounding period would double. We played. He kicked my ass. FML

Today, my dad made a big show of sending me to my room and grounding me for a week. Not because he heard me cursing at my video game, but because I "swear like a little girl" and it embarrassed him in front of his friends. FML

Today, my mum yelled "Son of a bitch!" as I narrowly beat her at a game of Mario Kart. I jokingly yelled back "Hell yeah I am!" Now I'm grounded for two weeks, birthday included, all because my mum's a sore loser. FML

Today, my 12-year-old son played QWOP on my laptop. Half an hour later, he virtually destroyed it in a fit of rage. FML

Today, my bus got held up in traffic, so I arrived home about 15 minutes late. My mum bitched me out, accused me of sleeping around, and grounded me. All this while my brother raged at his video game in the other room, screaming stuff such as "EAT SHIT, YOU CUNTS!" with total impunity. FML

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 father was cussing loudly because he lost at a Clash Royale game. He then blamed it on me for not sending him cards, and threatened to delete me from all his social media accounts. Dad, I love you, but you're downright insane. FML

Today, I briefly left my laptop while I went to use the toilet. When I came back, I found "I" had posted on Facebook, calling my mom a "stupid cunt who should just stay in the kitchen." The only other person home at the time was my grandpa. She didn't believe it, and permanently grounded me. FML

Today, my dad grounded me for swearing, after I read a funny comment on Youtube to my sister. The supposed swear word? "YOLO." FML

it sounds like your dad is either awesome, or needs to quite his job as a rat farmer.

First thing is you may want a new hobby instead of video games and second you may want to make sure your dad actually is working instead of playing CoD all day.

What's wrong with playing video games as a hobby?

He probably secretly plays on it when you're not there.

Yet you're still swearing...

Are you referring to "ass"? If so you should really reconsider what swearing actually is.

Just because it's mild doesn't mean it's not swearing.

By that logic every word in our language is a swear word. The thing about swear words is that they are supposed to be harsh. Otherwise it has no meaning at all.

As a Norwegian I'm unfamiliar with this grounding concept, except from references such as this one. Are you now locked in for four weeks, or what? Do you get to go to school? If so, how does your dad enforce that you come straight home again?

Ah, ok, thanks for clearing it up for me. It doesn't sound very difficult to get around, but still, a semi-formalized punishment just for swearing?? Wow. Cultural differences, I guess.
