Today, my mom informed me that she doesn't wash my clothes anymore. Instead, she sprays them with Febreze to "save money". FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found out that my mom uses my incredibly expensive conditioner to wash her two dogs every single weekend. No wonder they smell so good. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me because even though I shower thoroughly twice a day, I still stink. My mom showers once a week, never wears deodorant, and smells like roses. FML
Today, I found out that before my grandma washes my clothes, she smells my underwear to "make sure they're dirty." FML
Today, I actually used Febreze as a substitute for deodorant. FML
Today, my mum got the idea of switching to a different dishwashing detergent. The new one is so strong that it coats all the dishes in a nauseating perfume-like smell. It's so pungent that it gets absorbed into everything we eat or drink. She's determined to use up the entire bottle. FML
Today, my mom continued her search for a special, super-healthy laundry detergent that she knows makes me break out in hives. FML
Today, after finishing the laundry, I took clothes out of the dryer and took a big whiff of their delicious clean scent. That was when I noticed that my mom was watching me, and I had just smelled my dad's still-stained underwear that was on top. FML
Today, I found out my mother cleans the dishes with bathroom cleaning chemicals. She doesn't see anything wrong with this. FML
Today, I accidentally washed the jacket my mother bought me in the washing machine. I didn't know it was supposed to be dry cleaned. My mother ended up crying and screaming that I don't love her, and this would be the last time she ever buys me anything. FML
Today, I washed my clothes in the shared laundry room. All my clothes came out smelling like smoke. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The issue is not doing their own laundry!! The point it the mom doesn't want to in order to save money, so I really doubt they'd be allowed to wash the clothes themselves anyway!

Given the cost of detergent vs. the cost of Febreeze (and how much use you get out of each), what the mom is doing really doesn't make sense if she wants to "save money". The only point where she's saving money is not putting them in the dryer... and if that's the case then you could air dry clothes on a drying rack or clothesline for much less than spending all that money on Febreeze. Even if they were using a laundromat (which I doubt, since I think the OP would've noticed the lack of trips to there) it's still probably more expensive or they're just breaking even. Because of that, it sounds more like the mom is doing this to gross out the OP and get them to do their own laundry so she's not stuck with it.

febreeze is expensive too and runs out quickly so she isn't saving that much money.
