being grounded sucks ass. its not like it was that big of a deal. i mean yeah...there was a guy in my room...and yeah...my dad wasnt home. but its not like anything happened (ok so we made out but that was it!!!) and all he had to do was change and i had to grab my bathing suite and we left. so my dad needs to stop fucking over reacting:mad:
 
I find that most teenage dads are protective of their daughters, most of my friends are girls and I'm the only guy their parents trust.:happysad: That's good, and bad..
 
Ok, you think that is over reacting?

When I was younger I was at a party and told a joke. (I heard it from my sister and didn't know it was one of my dad's drunk jokes.) My mom found out I said that joke and I was grounded from all parties, sleep overs, and get togethers for a year and a half.

You want another over reaction? Ok. I have plenty.
I was 5 min. late comming home. (My cerfew was at 9, I called mom and asked if I could stay out later, she said 10 pm was fine. (this was a weekend btw and I was in 11th grade) So I showed up at 10:05 pm) She takes away the car for a week. One day for every minute I was late and two extra to make sure it didn't happen again.

It may sound harsh, but your dad could have reacted a lot worse than he did. Be happy you don't have my mom for your dad.
 
One time, I had a picture in my room I wanted to show my guy friends when my dad was leaving. I didnt know it, but, he came back into the house, and heard them upstairs. He came charging up the stairs faster than a chipmunk to a nut, and yelled "I SAID NO BOYS UPSTAIRS!!!"

The boys took off down the stairs, before he'd got the words out, and were out the door. It was interesting.

Nowadays, he lets me stay the night with guys if I want, have guys over, blah blah.. I dont abuse that too much but then again I am older now. Bah. It's all good, I was never TOO boy crazy.
 
Not really. Now that I'm in college they've losened up a little bit. I respect them too much to deliberately go against their rules. I usually get punished for things I didn't realize were going to get me punished. (Such as telling a joke or for being a couple min. late.)

Besides, it may not seem like much, but there is a big difference between what someone who is just 15 can do and someone who is 19 going on 20 can do.
 
Luckilly, I don't have parents that overreact about things. Of course, if I'm in the car with a new person, my mother requests that I call every hour.

But hey! You should feel good that your dad is protective of you like that. It's better than having a dad that doesn't give a shit if you get pregnant or get STDs. :thumbsdn:
 
If you break one of your parents' rules you get punished. Simple as that. I don't see what you got as an overreaction. If your dad had a rule of no one over or no guys over when your parents weren't there, and you broke that rule you deserved to be punished, whether anything happened or not. Some day you'll mature enough to see that. Mags, that does seem a little extreme in those situations.
 
Wait, your grounded and you still have the computer?

Thats not being grounded!

I hate it when CL grounds me though. That asshole.

PS: If there was a guy in one of our daughter's rooms, neither he nor she would sit for a month I would beat thier asses! I'm not really afraid of legal repricussions.

Really, I think you got off light.
 
i once threw a tennis racquet at my bedroom window and smashed it, mum and dad paid the guy to come and take out the window but didn't put a new one in until i "learnt my lesson", no bad, but in the middle of winter fucken freezing, i never a threw anything at my bedroom window, but my sisters window thas another story :D
 
Dad's are normally very protective of their daughters because they normally know what guys are like, because they once were your age and knew what they are after. So, he WILL be protective over his daughter, for you not to get hurt or used, it's in all parent's instinct to protect their young.

You'll thank him for it later on.

And, if you're grounded, how do you still have the computer usage?
 
I was thinking the same thing.

Back when I did get grounded (15+ years ago), grounded meant:
No TV (unless it was a show I needed to watch for school work)
No friends over
No going to friends houses
No phone calls (unless it was school related, not even grandma could call and say happy b-day)
No being outside unless it was for chores
No car for any reason at all, no exceptions
No allowance for the week. Even if I was just grounded for that night, it nixed the allowance for the week.
If the family had some sort of outing planned, the family still went on the outing, without me.
And since I'd have so much extra free time on my hands, I obviously had time to do extra chores.

Say I was grounded on Saturday, the day would go something like this:
Up at 6:00 AM.
Clean the kitchen, including using a toothpick to clean under the rim of the sink.
Clean all 4 bathrooms in the house.
9:00 AM, 30 minutes for breakfast.
Clean up the dog shit in the yard
Take out the litter box
Mow the lawn
30 minutes for lunch
Clean up the attic
wash, wax and detail the parents cars
Dust every object in the house
30 minutes for dinner
Vacuum the entire house (it was 2 stories and a finished basement)
Give the dog a bath
brush the cat
Clean the kitchen after dinner
10PM, go to bed

And if I didn't get something done, or if I halfassed something, I'd get grounded another day.

If the parents thought I purposely half assed something so they wouldn't make me do it again, I got to do it every day until it was perfect for the next 30 days.
