Today, I asked a coworker if she would cover for me on Easter because I want to spend it with my 3 year old daughter. She said no because she wants to spend Easter with her kids, too. She doesn't have kids. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was going to ask my coworker to cover for me for a few hours so I could go somewhere where they would pay me for my opinion. I had rescheduled this. Before I could ask, my coworker messaged asked if she could take the exact same time and date off to take her son to a school event. She beat me to it, again. FML
Today, my coworker and I announced that we are spending our holidays together, because we both have kids. My boss then announced that he's coming with us. FML
Today, my boss asked me if I could work on Valentine's Day because there was no chance of me having a date. She's right. FML
Today, my mom visited, and I left her for a few minutes while I used the bathroom. While I was stuck taking a crap, she went on one of her religious rants, telling my children that Easter was off this year because their precious "pagan" Easter Bunny had been murdered. FML
Today, my coworker has once again called in and asked me to cover her shift. She does this for every single one of her shifts, and my boss told me that if I don’t cover it, I’ll be fired. I used to have a life, but not anymore. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I'd asked my mom weeks ago if she could watch my kids, so my husband and I could go celebrate. She told me an hour before we were supposed to leave I'd have to reschedule, so she could watch my brother's kids while he goes out for fun. Gee, thanks mom. FML
Today, I had a meeting at work. My boss was going around saying that she tries to give time off to the other managers so they can spend time with their family and significant others. She looked at me and said she doesn't for me because I have no one special to spend time with. FML
Today, I was told I would also be covering some of my boss's shifts next week. She gets to go on a vacation to Europe with the bonus we earned her last year. That's why she was tightening our deadlines to the point where some of the employees had to hire babysitters for their children so we could stay at work. FML
Today, I told my future MIL that we couldn't see her on Christmas because I have to work that day passing out gifts to elderly patients, but that I would call off work to travel to see her any day after. That isn't good enough, so she asked my fiance to spend Christmas without me. FML
Today, I was told at my babysitting job that I can't bring my toddler with me. My employer is my best friend. Now I have to find a babysitter for my kid if I want to babysit hers. FML

It's probably a lot easier for her to lie and say she has kids rather than deal with people getting mad at her and saying that their plans are more important because they have kids.

I've had to work every major holiday for the last 4 years because my employers and coworkers assume that I have nothing going on since I'm in my early 20's. The funny thing is, I AM a parent. I just don't use it as an excuse to not do my fair share at work. Sorry OP but YDI. Also, my mother often worked on Easter and I certainly don't hold any grudges over missing a few Easter egg hunts and church services. All that mattered was her coming home with our Easter presents and telling us she loved us. :)

Are you sure she didn't say family, not kids, and you assumed family translates to kids? Because I find that tons of childed, entitled make that logical error. Mad props for her for having a holiday. FYL. :)

How can you be mad at someone for wanting to have Easter off? I'm sure they wanted to spend it with their family or something? No matter what the reason, its not your business

YDI, and I want to give your coworker a high five. Having kids doesn't make you special, important, or any more deserving of time off than anyone else, you entitled breeder.

I agree, your life sucks.

How do we know you are telling the truth and you actually have a three year old child? The point is we don't know this. So maybe your co worker has no kids of her own but she had plans to spend time with friend's kids or grandkids or something of that nature. Or maybe she was so taken aback by your inappropriate and inconsiderate request she was showing sarcasm. According to your posting information, you asked her the day before Easter. How inconsiderate and rude to ask this of someone someone at the last minute. If this is not the case, consider me wrong but even so, if you knew you wanted to have time off on a certain day you should have made arrangements well before hand. Time off is precious to everyone no matter what the reason. Here's hoping you have learned a valuable lesson in all of this and that is to have some consideration for others. Next time, ask well in advance if someone will switch with you. And please don't assume that your needs should take precedence over someone else's
