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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

I agree with a few other people on here. If your not lazy then the house should have already been clean and you would not have needed the cleaning lady. I understand what it's like to hold a job and keep a clean house but I do it. Why can't you. You have totally contodicted yourself... Just saying

Maybe the mother-in-law *WAS* the cleaner?

Perhaps he had work and didn't have the time?

Nice showing them you're not lazy by being lazy.

Alright let's see how many counts of YDI you get. 1 for not cleaning your house yourself, 1 for not even attempting to clean yourself, 1 for not having the sense to schedule a cleaning crew well in advance, 1 for posting on FML while your guest cleans for you.

I really don't see why YDI - what if her in-law is borderline-OCD? And if she came home from work just a few minutes before I can understand why she didn't bother to clean anymore... Also, she could have a tough job... FYL, OP

Don't see why you should have to clean your apartment if you can afford to hire someone to clean it they get money and you get a clean apartment. Just be careful who you hire next time...
