Today, my parents grounded me and took away my phone, iPod and door. That's right, my door. They think that because I was stumbling and couldn't walk straight last night, I must have been out drinking. They know I suffer from chronic vertigo, but don't believe I was having an attack. FML

Today, while talking to my parents, I dropped an ordinary drinking glass. After I apologized and cleaned the mess, they told me that they had decided that if I couldn't be careful at home, I certainly couldn't be careful on the roads. They took away my keys. I'm 19. FML

Today, I woke up with a hangover from last night. Last night, I snuck out and went to a party at a club. To hide my hangover, I cleaned myself up and walked into the kitchen to get a drink. My mother looked at me and said, "What's that on your wrist?" I'd forgotten I'd left the wristband on from the club. I'm already grounded. FML

Drunken antics

By DevilsTemptation - 29/08/2019 02:01 - United Kingdom - Dundee

Today, my dad got extremely drunk, so I took away his car keys and left on foot. When I came back, I saw that he had broken down my door. Now my dad is mad at me for not giving him the keys when he was drunk, and I'm door-less. FML

Anger management

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

Acting out

By itsgotime - 20/03/2009 06:11 - United States

Today, I was running to my car, slipped, and slammed my head on the car door. I started driving to the hospital because it was bleeding profusely and I was dizzy, I called my mom to tell her what had happened. She said I was grounded for "goofing off" and that she was "sick of my shit". FML

Today, my parents woke me up and grounded me for the "disrespectful" things I said to them in my sleep. Apparently I say these things every night, and each time I do they extend the grounding. FML

Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home drunk from a party last night. They said I couldn't hang out with my best friend anymore as he's a "bad influence". He was the only one sober in our group and drove me home safely. FML

Who? Where? Why? What?

Today, my parents accused me of being secretive. I have no idea what they're talking about; all I do is work, go to school, sleep, and eat. Now I'm grounded until I tell them what's going on. I have crazy parents, that's what's going on. FML

Today, my parents yelled at me for 10 minutes without letting me get a word in edgeways for getting a 48 on my test. They took my phone, unplugged my internet, and took my car keys. They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, "It was out of 50". It actually was. FML

Today, I came home after a party to my parents, who confronted me. They said that my phone had made a pocket call to them and they heard a good half hour of people talking about drugs and alcohol. I confessed at that point. I checked my phone after. I hadn't called them in 3 days. FML

If you sit in one outfit for a week with the excuse, "I can't change where everyone can see," I'm sure they'll get nice and tired of it and give you your door back. Worked for me. :P

hate to tell you this, but if you do that often due to drinking and such, than you sort of earned it in one sense. I have chronic vertigo also, and my parents never were not able to tell the difference between stumbling because of drinking (because I don't drink) and my vertigo. Yeah, chronic vertigo sucks, but maybe if you don't drink (if you do), you just might still have your door. I can't say I have sympathy for you getting punished. I do have sympathy for the vertigo, however, although we float in the same boat, there really isn't a way to say you don't deserve it. If you have drank in the past (which is seems like) and stumbled in, than I really don't blame your parents for punishing you. Not every parent appreciates their child drinking at any age.

The FML says his parents -thought- he was out drinking, though. He wasn't actually drinking, so no he doesn't deserve it.

yes, I realized that. I am a parent myself of 3, one is a teenager. I've seen my kid drunk and my kid has vertigo also. I've seen it first hand. I know the difference between what both stumbling looks like for each situation. What I meant by deserving it, is if OP has stumbled in the past due to being drunk and OP's parents know, they must have not been able to tell the difference. OP shouldn't have gotten drunk in the past and maybe it would save OP's door.

The OP never said the computer was taken... Also he/she could have posted the FML from a friend's house, or a library or other places with public access to a computer...
