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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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

Why is it that people with kids think that they are the only ones entitled to have a holiday???? So because you have a kids you get the day off and she has to work. Guess what....she is someones kid too and Im sure they want to spend time with her too. Get over yourself.

it is not the responsibility of people without kids to cover for those who choose to have them. people without kids are entitled to have long weekends and holidays too...

I asked my coworker to do something for me purely because my lifestyle is better than hers, and she disagrees FML.

Just because you have children doesn't give you the right to have every ******* holiday off. Good for her for not caving to you! Just because she doesn't have kids doesn't mean she's less deserving of time off. YDI for being a stupid bitch.

Why is everyone assuming that OP's problem is that the shift wasn't covered? It may not be the best outcome, but it's not the end of the world. However; "She doesn't have kids". OP is clearly, and rightly, pissed off that their co-worker lied. I agree OP; your life sucks. If someone said to me "Sorry, I can't do it", I'd be fine with that, as (as just about every other commenter hasn't failed to pint out) people without kids have lives too. But if someone told a blatant lie to me, just so that they could avoid working, damn right I'd be pissed off! Some people need to learn a bit of respect.
