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

If you work all the time, you really don't have time to clean everything so it sparkles.

obviously you ARE lazy, otherwise you'd have done it yourself instead of hiring other people to do your dirty work....YDI! And while you're at it, you need to explain what kinda bs your tried to pull over on them & then PAY the person who mopped your floor $100 just for the principle of it all...money well spent for a lesson learned. now get off your lazy ass & do something productive!

It could be that OP is a fine housekeeper, and that the MIL is just really picky. I have a friend like that... The house could be tidy and it still isn't good enough.

In-laws can be extremely critical. It's possible that OP isn't actually lazy, but in the past, the mother/father-in-law had probably called him/her lazy before. OP then hired the professional cleaner to make things extra nice even tho he/she had work. It sucks that the cleaner dropped the ball and never showed up. So cut OP some slack. In-laws can be nightmares to have visit.

Well if she's mopping the floor then why the hell are you on FML instead of helping her clean up your own appartment?
