Today, I hired a cleaner to clean my apartment so when my in-laws visited tonight, they wouldn't think I was lazy. I got home from work, the cleaner hadn't shown at all, and my in-laws had arrived early. My mother-in-law is now mopping the floors. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mom told me to clean the house up because she wants to make good impression on the cleaning lady. FML
Today, I thought I had the house all to myself for the weekend, but my annoying in-laws showed up unannounced and ruined my sleep-all-day plans by asking me to help clean out their RV. FML
Today, I decided to clean the whole house as a surprise for my mother. When she came home, she screamed at me and called me a bitch because she had wanted to clean it herself. FML
Today, I spent the day cleaning my apartment because my parents are visiting on Monday. I finally finished at midnight and went to bed exhausted. Then my mother called to say they couldn't make it after all. FML
Today, while my parents were grocery shopping, I cleaned the kitchen, swept floors, did laundry, and cleaned bathrooms, only to finish right before they got home. After dinner, my dad bitched and complained that I didn't take out the trash and he had no room to throw away his paper plate. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I cleaned his parents' whole house while they were out, just to be nice. When they came home, they assumed we only did it because we'd made some huge mess that we needed to hide. I'm now banned from their house. FML
Today, my parents came home after being out of town for the weekend. I stayed home, did homework and completely cleaned the house, thinking I could earn some brownie points with them. They saw how clean the house was and accused me of covering up a party. FML
Today, my girlfriend works for a company that cleans VRBOs, so while she went to see family for a week, I asked her coworkers to come clean while she was gone, even the owner of the company showed up, They deep-cleaned house, but when she got home I got yelled at for a dirty coffee mug on my desk. The coffee was still warm. FML
Today, my mom decided to have a get together at my house while I was at work. When I came home, she pulled me aside and asked me to pretend to be her maid. FML
Today, I woke up early to do the dishes and clean up, after having people over yesterday. Now my wife is mad at me because I didn't stay in bed with her longer. FML

though u tried to solve the issue, tell her nicely that it's not that you're unwilling to clean up it's just that time isn't on your side, I guess

YDI. It is a no brainer that you are an extremely lazy person considering how your mother-in-law is MOPPING THE FLOOR OF YOUR HOUSE while you have the time to come online to submit your "FML". If you really wanted to create a good impression, you would have started cleaning a few days earlier, or at least stopped your mother-in-law from picking up after your mess. You are not the only person in this world who works, but others are still capable of working and doing house chores. It is a choice. Okay, even if you have a really tough job, you should have thought of calling in the cleaner a day or two beforehand in case s/he will not show up.

Given that the mother-in-law showed up early it could be that the OP was not home to help when the cleaning started and now the mother-in-law is refusing to let her help. I've seen that happen. It becomes "Oh I'll take care of this, just stay out of my way."

never count on other people to do the job for you

It is nobody's business how you keep your house unless you have small children or animals who would be negatively affected. But at least now you will have a fresh start and maybe be able to keep on top of things. pick even one day a week to do deep cleaning and simply tidy the rest of the days. That is, if you want to change your habits; if you don't care, tell your mother in law thanks but no thanks; it's your home and you're happy with it. :)
