Today, I've now worked on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, the weekend after that, and two days this week. My husband and son have had all that time off, and yet I've still ended up having to clean the dishes and the house after them on all of these days. FML

Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I work in healthcare, and I was told that since someone quit I have to work Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas day, and all of New Year's weekend. This is after I was told, "Our workplace is a family." FML
Today, I went to work during Black Friday, after not being invited to my family's Thanksgiving dinner. FML
Today, I worked a full day and then went to a three-hour class. I got home at 9 PM, and before the door closed I heard, "There's a sink full of dishes for you." There are three able-bodied men in the house, all of whom got here hours ago and created that sink full of dishes. FML
Today, it's the end of hard month: renovations, on top of kids' vacation, on top of cancelled camps, on top of cat with diarrhea. The thing waiting for me this weekend is the work assignment my boss gave me an hour before business closed on Friday, and wrapping up contractors shoddy work. FML
Today, I'm on my sixth straight day of double shifts, with four more to go. I make overtime so I'm not complaining, but today my wife texted me, "Going out of town tonight, I expect the house to be spotless when I return." Not sure how I'm going to swing this one. FML
Today, at home, I always do my share of the chores. I just got back from a business trip and it turns out that I actually do ALL the chores. My wife was alone for 9 days, the kitchen was a in state, dirty laundry everywhere, cat litter box overflowing onto the floor, and the bathroom was fucking disgusting. FML
Today, it was our first kid-free weekend in almost two months, and I was hoping for a nice date night. Instead, she picked up two shifts at work and then had a girls' night. Don't worry, she assigned me a massive deep clean that ate up almost my entire weekend. FML
Today, after a long talk with the kids, I finally got all the chores around the house done early so we could have a fun family weekend. My wife decided to be a wet blanket and insisted we needed to deep clean the already clean kitchen. Three arguments later, everyone is sulking, and I'm working in the kitchen alone. FML
Today, my toilet broke. Yesterday, the shower filled up with sludge. I have ten people coming over for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. FML
Today, it's my birthday, and like every other Sunday, my wife's been called into work, and I'm left with our three toddlers and yesterday's mess to clean up. It's raining. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sucks, but lay some grounds to your hubby, don't clean up after yourself means not being able to take care of business in the bedroom:-) lol

She wasn't complaining about working the holidays, though that does suck for her. She was simply stating she was having to work AND come home to do chores while her husband and son have been at home doing nothing.

That's why one should never get married or have children.

It really sucks that you're in that situation, but I've gotta say YDI. You didn't HAVE to clean up after your family; you could have told them to do it, punished the kids when they didn't, etc.

I work everyday, including public holidays and of course Christmas and New Years. I have to do everything by myself because I live alone, I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for you. I'm happy to work and it seems like I work a hell of a lot more than you, suck it up princess

If you live alone, you only have to clean your own shit.. Believe me, living with other people and having clean after them and take care of them is a lot more difficult than being on your own ;)

I look after abandoned and neglected animals, so I can have anywhere between 2-15 animals with me, I think I know what mess is...
