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

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

While it wasn't cool of her to lie (though we really don't know whether or not she truly has kids), she doesn't have to give up her day off. Maybe she had plans and didn't want to reschedule?

Screw this. For ten years I covered for workmates because I don't have kids, I worked Easter, Christmas, every single holiday, I missed out on time with my own family and friends. There comes a point where you start putting yourself first. Get over it. People without kids have lives too.

Unless the kid is deathly sick or injured, there is no way I am going to cover a coworkers shift just so they can spend time with their kid(s). It is not my fault you don't know how to think ahead and plan.

When I was single I got stuck with all the holidays despite having seniority because I had no family, so I was screwed based on the manager's belief that colleagues with children had more of a right to holidays off than their childless peers. Bullshit. Our rights were equitable. We got a new manager and he abided by the corporate policy of strict seniority and lo and behold, I correctly jumped to the top of the list and got almost every holiday off while the Mommys and Daddys had to pitch in and work. Funny, it was OK for me to sit there by myself on every holiday but when it was divided fairly and we each had to take ONE apiece they all went apeshit. The biggest whiner was the Jew who was assigned Christmas Day but had every Jewish holiday off. Go figure. Some people think having children entitles them to special treatment. All is means is that two people ****** without using birth control, the female conceived and subsequently popped out a kid. Happens all the time.

just because she doesn't have kids means she should give up her Easter? now that's rude!
