Today, my son hit my husband's shop-vac while pulling into the garage too fast. He was grounded for 3 days. Later, while trying to demonstrate how to park safely, I hit my husband in his happy sacks with the mirror. FML

Today, my son thought he'd take my new car for a drive without permission. He accelerated straight into a tree, reversed into a lamppost and then accelerated again into the neighbours car. FML

Today, I grounded my son after finding out that he's been bullying other kids at school. He got mad and screamed at me, calling me a "bastard". Instead of defending me, my wife got pissed and accused me of having taught our son to swear like that. I can never win. FML

Today, I got home from a week-long vacation with my friend's family. When I got back home, I found the garage door had been completely demolished. My uncontrollably drunk dad blamed me. I don't even drive. FML

Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML

Today, I borrowed my dad's car to run a quick errand, which he never lets me do. I thought I’d got away with it until he got home and started yelling. I forgot, dad always reverses into driveways, while I prefer to drive straight in, and I'd parked his car facing the wrong way. FML

Surely if your son is old enough to drive, he's too old to 'ground' when he does bad shit? o.O

If my 16 year old broke something expensive, even if it was an accident, he'd at least get some sort of punishment. I probably wouldn't ground him though, I'd make him pay for a new one. You break it, you buy it.

I'm 17 in two weeks and my parents STILL ground me when I do something that they deem wrong or w/e. Grounding ends when you move out, nuff said x.x

#66 - exactly what I was thinking. If you're old enough to drive, you're old enough to get a job, and thus old enough to (at least partially) pay for whatever you broke. Also - young enough to ground until you move out? Dream the hell on.
