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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

some places it doesn't work that way. where I work I have to work every other weekend, mandatory, and if a holiday falls on a weekend we rotate... 1 on 1 off.. Easter isn't considered a holiday where I work tho...

not everyone knows this but Easter Sunday and Easter Monday aren't stat holidays. only good Friday is and even then a lot of places are still open

I can bet your 3 year old daughter would not want to spend her Easter with your co worker around anyway! just saying.

As far as I'm concerned YDI because you probably could have found someone to cover for you had you not asked a day or so away from Easter. Not to mention simply because you THINK she doesn't have kids, doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't. I for one, keep my work & family separate.

Agreeed. :D I'm sorry though op, I know it must suck not to be with your kid on Easter D: Getter a fluffy bunny! :)

Exactly what I was thinking. Pretty sure the coworker knows better than OP whether or not she has children.

Her "kids" could probably mean her neices and/or nephews or someones child that she is very close to

She probably means her ****. I've heard women call them "the girls" so, in reality, she has two daughters. She's gonna have a funner Easter than you, if she's got a nice rack.

Whoever had thumbed down perdix was an idiot. It's up to the sane people like us to save people like such from thumbed down comments.

Totally agree!! ^
figureskates2344 6
well if this is the reason she doesn't want to help op out then that's reasonable

34 and 42 - You both got thumbed down. Who's going to save you?
mk58 31
Oh nooo!! It's the end if the world, I got thumb down!! No. I don't really care, as I am not legendary for my comments. :)

Suck it op. I have a 4 year old and 6 year old and have to work every holiday from 4am-12:30. You just have to be creative in making your kid wait till you get home from work.
