Today, after almost a week of being bed-ridden with a bad flu, my mom told me it was my job to clean the house. When I told her I still had a fever and didn't feel well, she looked at me and said in an understanding voice "It's okay honey, you can do it slowly." FML

C'mon, slack-ass! You've been a parasite to your family for a week, it's about time you do a little work. She IS allowing it to be done slowly -- that woman is a saint!

if you've been in bed for a week, ure actually making it worse by staying in bed. you actually have to get up and do stuff if you want to get better - no joke. that doesn't mean scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush, but it's a good idea to walk around, get the mail, do the dishes, sweep the floor.. something light. u have to fight the sickness or you just keep feeling worse

that a hell lot better than me. I cut my finger (nearly slice a third off the tip) while opening this medicine bottle with a knife (trust me when I say im not weak, the manufacture are jerks, along with baby safe precaution) for my mum. 4 things happen. 1. as soon as she say be careful, literally just finish her sentence. I cut my finger. 2. she replace "are you alright" from most mother to " I told you so". 3. as I hurry to find some bandage because im bleeding really bad. she told me not to spill the blood. --_--; 4. she made me clean up the trail of blood.

if I were you, I wouldn't do a single thing. you're already "grounded" since you're sick and weak in bed.

I'm pretty sure you aren't dying. Stop being so selfish and do what you should do. This isn't an FML, it's a kid whining

My mum does the same thing. If I'm making time off of work and class due to being sick, I need to make up for it by doing all the cooking and cleaning.

You're supposed to rest and get better. Not work around the house. -_- FYL, OP. Sometimes, it's actually a good idea to disobey your parents. I'd take having my stuff taken away or being grounded over straining myself any day.

This is such bull. Do you think your Mother gets a day off when she feels ill? Pull it together or adulthood's going to be a nasty shock.

Um, yeah, actually. Most jobs do give you sick days.
