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

What kind of person asks for Easter off the day before? YDI for being inconsiderate!!! maybe you coworker already has plans for Easter. Don't be selfish and learn to think ahead! I feel bad for your 3 year old. Sounds like it's going to be a "blame everyone else" whiner like you!!!

I have kids of my own and I never try using my kids as an excuse to get my coworkers to cover my work. If it's an absolute emergency that's one thing but things like holidays and birthdays occur every year which means there is plenty of time to make arrangements. I think it's completely unfair to expect everyone else to pick up the slack.

I have kids, and I plan for holidays. Just because I chose to have kids doesn't give me the right to holidays over my childless peers. Some example you're setting.

time with kids isn't able to be replaced later on so yes they should get time off for holidays but sometimes single people need those holidays off to see their family. since I don't have kids, I offer to work for those who do. when I eventually have kids, I'll hope that others will do the same for me. the coworker lied about kids which was wrong. she could've just been honest and sai that she already had plans that couldn't be broken. she isn't at fault here except that she lied.

I have kids but I plan ahead and ask off at least 2 wks in advance. YDI for asking the day before a holiday and expecting others to drop their plans bc you pull the "parent" card. You give parents a bad name by assuming you should get a free pass at not planning in advance. If your employer wouldn't give you the day off, you could have asked other coworkers, if you had planned in advance. F*** off, ya whine ass!

I always get the short end of the stick with holidays and late shifts because I don't have kids... I never thought to have fake kids, lol. YDI for thinking your special because you popped out a kid. The rest of us have a right to holidays off too.

Clearly, she's referring to her Sims.
