Work: Today, I've now worked on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, the weekend...

By bored - 27/11/2012 18:05 - United States

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

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

Unreasonable

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

Quality family time

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

Today, after working 12 shifts in the past 8 days at 2 jobs and thinking today was a day off, I got the call that I misread my schedule and I was in fact scheduled. Got off at 2:30 am, work again at 9 am with 9 shifts to go this week. FML

Today, it seems that I can't enjoy one fucking weekend without my mom finding work for me to do to take up my time, and I'm sick of it! FML

Today, I realized that when the pest control man said that we may see a few more bugs in the next few days, what he meant was "your kitchen will be covered in them." It's the day before Thanksgiving and I have several people invited over for the Holiday. FML

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 ;)
