Today, it's Christmas Day. Normally, my family would be opening gifts right now. Instead, my mom is holding our gifts hostage until we clean the house. Apparently, "The presents aren't going anywhere." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and decided to unwrap all my Christmas gifts and throw them at the wall. Ho, ho, ho. FML
Today, my mother has stooped to a new level of "hiding" Christmas gifts. She now just dumps them in the middle of the floor and says, "Don't look at them." If she even thinks I'm glancing in the direction of the pile, she will burst into a manic rage, and yell at me for "ruining the surprise." FML
Today, my mother has issued a 'Christmas Ultimatum'. The rest of us have exactly 2 days to "get some Christmas around here" or we will feel her wrath. FML
Today, I waited anxiously until midnight to open my Christmas presents. As the clock struck midnight, I ran out into the living room, super-excited to open them, only to discover that everyone in our house had already opened theirs, and had all gone to bed. FML
Today, my family decided to break tradition and wake up at midnight to open presents. I didn't find out until I went downstairs to get a glass of water in the middle of the night, and found wrapping paper and empty boxes everywhere. FML
Today, I've had my tenth "Christmas" dinner since Christmas last took place. My mum has gone nuts and keeps playing Christmas music, making these dinners, and refusing to let me take down the Christmas decorations. My dad is too whipped to save us from this hell. FML
Today, on the third of February, my mom finally relented and let us take the Christmas decorations down. FML
Today, my parents refused to give my daughter her Christmas presents as an act of revenge against her father. FML
Today, my mom is coming to pick up the Christmas presents we got for her and her husband. She won’t come inside or come within 6 feet, so she can be healthy when she goes down to the ex-wife’s parents house to hang out. The ex in-laws that hate me. Glad my mom chose them over me. FML

Unless you have a 5 story mansion with tons of rooms and she wants you to clean all windows, floors, ceiling etc then it's not really that bad.

Haha, sounds like something my mom would do. She's such a perfectionist. But hey, at least you're still getting the presents! Merry Christmas!

oh please, op. today was christmas, and instead of enjoying my presents, I spent 5 hours organizing and cleaning extensively. willingly, without anyone telling me to, because I don't like living in a messy hellhole like you apparently do. at some point, hopefully, you'll grow up and realize that cleanliness is important. I feel for her, honestly. your mother is probably expected to clean up after your nasty asses 24/7 while you do nothing. once in a while, you could do your share. earn your gifts.

I don't blame your mom. your lucky santa even came to a dirty house... he might have tripped over all your junk and then not give you any gifts

I would just love it if my kid told me that. You generally have 30 to 90 days to return merchandise. I could do it on my lunch break, spend the extra money on a treat for myself (new tyres!) and the ungrateful brat would still have to clean the house while he/she was grounded for the next month. Win.
