I'm grounded for that? Really?

[MCDeltaT]

I held one hand in front of theother and held up my index finger so it looked like I was flipping off my older sister, I've forgotten what she did but it must have annoyed me. Apparently it was convincing enough for her to think it was real and get me grounded for a week.

I think I was once grounded for a few days when I was small, but I can't remember what it was for. Unfortunately for my parents, I didn't plan to go to any friends' houses anyway, so it was pretty pointless. If my parents want to punish me now, they just refuse to feed me... it's a cruel world.

Edit: I remember my mum sometimes slapped me, she stopped when I was 8 and just dodged her and hit back, but these punishments didn't happen very often, so don't thin I was a problem child.

parents never really grounded me they just took away privligies.

Disagreeing with my Mom. We had a debate about something that we were both passionate about, and when I started to get the upper hand, she grounds me in a bout of rage for disrespecting her, after she blasted my opinion for an hour.

Was slightly bogus...

I had my friend over and he was staying at my house for 3 days. My dad went to church early in the morning without waking us up and gets home later and grounds me and my friend for not going. We were only aloud to look at my celine for 2 days.

My friend to this day still bitches me out for that lol

EDIT: He also grounded me because he thought the moon looked orange and I didn't. FML

I got grounded for playing GTA S.A.
while I was about 10 or 12 something like that,
But then I didn't even know how the gun did work.

My parents are split up, so when my mum started talking to the family (thats my 2 half brothers and my stepdad) about moving to America (as in, thinking about it, not actually saying we were definately going)

This worried me, as I didnt want to live in America (btw, its nothing to do with America itself, its just that I would miss everyone here, and Im incredibly bad at making friends at school, it was bad enough for me as it was, let alone going to a new country where I would probably be picked on for being the 'new kid') so after talking with my dad, I said to my mum (calmly) that I didnt want to live in America, and that If she did go then I would go live with my dad.

Instead of having a civil discussion with me, she flipped, say something about blasphemy or something and grounded me for a month, as well as tried to stop my dad seeing me.

This was about 2 years ago, which made me 14, which is old enough to know who I wanted to live with, so it was my choice, and I only set out to talk to her about it. I thought it a little harsh?

Ironic thing is, I live with my dad now, even though she didnt go, and when I go to visit her, she always ends up making a comment about my dad. Though I do ignore them, I was stressed once and ended up shouting at her. She tried to ground me. To which my reply was 'I dont live here, remember?'

@Dfskelleton You just made my day... or evening.

 

[superbatranger]

I've never been grounded. Ever.

Got in a fair bit of trouble for taking porn to school once, though.

Oh, I'm sure that went over just fine.

OT: I don't remember ever being grounded. My dad usually just hit me with a belt. -_-

 

[Johnny Reb]

My Pa never believed grounding. But he did believe in the sting of cold leather hehe.

I never really got grounded. My parents didn't want me to do drugs, or go to wild parties, or hang out with shady people, and I didn't want to either. So I didn't. As a kid I was spanked as punishment mainly, but as I got older, I knew when my parents were upset or disappointed and that became its own punishment. Eventually I'd see the light and it'd be all good.

 

[helldragonX]

I never got grounded, if I was in a situation were I would have been my mom would just kick the shit outta me and be done with it. Eh, it worked, I never did anything to bad.

 

[lacktheknack]

I never got grounded. I became quite well behaved after a couple years of spankings.

 

[MikailCaboose]

I wasn't grounded per se, but for some reason my parents got a bit upset when I refused to eat the doughnut we had gotten, despite it having been purchased against my wishes.
We all look back and laugh about it but still...

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Never got grounded, just put on restrictions. I used to be restricted from gaming if I ever talked back to mom or, my dad or, step-dad but my younger siblings talk back ALL THE DAMN TIME with no trouble. WTF!?

 

[Tartarga]

My dad once grounded me because I blocked all the sports channels because I was tired of him taking the television from me while I was in the middle of a gaming session. He flipped the fuck out and threatened to kill me a few times, it was hilarious and somewhat frightening.

 

[Reaper195]

My parents stopped punishing me around the time they started washing my mouth out with soap to get me to stop swearing, only for me to spit it out afterwards and say "That tastes fucking disgusting!". Aside from that, I never really did anything to piss off my parents because it's a stupid idea to begin with. I liked living in a house.

I put a picture of O.J Simpson in the fridge, and when my Mum and Dad were having a discussion about, Taxes or whatever parents talk about these days. I walked in, opened the fridge and went ''mmmm, thats some good O.J'' ( In order to get some attention. side note: Baby sister just born ) ...My Dad grounded me and said it was because 'I was disruptive and made him lose his train of thought' . So I got on the Xbox and played 'Warriors' for a day straight...good times.

 

[Dags90]

My mom didn't have enough interest in my teenage years to be bothered with grounding me or my brother.
