Today, my mother woke me up by loudly vacuuming the house. I had to work the next morning, so I asked her what she was thinking. She told me that if I was really tired and needed sleep, I wouldn't have woken up. It was 3 AM. FML

Today, I had three days off work. My mom woke me up for work on all three of those days, despite my repeatedly asking her not to. When I actually had to go to work this morning, she didn't wake me up. At least I wasn't late. FML
Today, I wanted to do something nice for my mom. So, while she was sleeping, I cleaned the whole house for her and even made her breakfast. A few minutes later, she came downstairs and yelled at me to keep it down because she was trying to sleep. FML
Today, I finally had a day off in two weeks and I was excited about getting to sleep in. At 5 a.m., my mom loudly knocked and came in. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she was checking to see if I was asleep. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my roommate vacuuming at 7 a.m. I was annoyed because I had stayed up late, but then I realized she was vacuuming in the kitchen… at 7 a.m. because the broom "wasn't powerful enough." I gave her the benefit of the doubt until she started vacuuming my bedroom floor while I was still in bed. FML
Today, I woke up early, went to the gym, then came home and showered. When I went into my room to change, my mom woke up and started pounding on my door, screaming about how lazy and useless I was for sleeping so late. When I tried to tell her otherwise, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, after getting home from a twelve-hour shift at work, I got into bed and passed out. My mother soon woke me up, screaming that she could tell I was "fake sleeping" and ignoring her lecture on how I need to stop being so "lazy". FML
Today, my daughter decided to wake me up by putting the vacuum in my hair and turning it on. FML
Today, I wasn't sure if I would have to go to work. My mom told me the night before that she would wake me up if I had to. I woke up, and seeing that it was past the time I normally go to work, I happily assumed I got called off. That is, until I got a phone call from my boss asking me why I wasn't there yet. FML
Today, my parents made me wake up at 7 a.m., like every morning. When I woke up exhausted, my mom rolled her eyes and said, "It’s called going to bed earlier." I went to bed at 10 p.m. last night. I fell asleep at 5 am. FML
Today, it’s the fifth day in a row that my mom has vacuumed right outside my room, from 5 to 11 AM. Despite this, I still can’t fall asleep before midnight. FML

Well when she's sleeping you should do some cleaning of your own and if she questions you, give her the same response.

Ear plugs and a NyQuil...that will knock you out

NyQuil might not be the best choice if he has to wake up early for work the next morning, though.

a little bit of Nyquil will go a long ways for knocking you out. I had a similar situation, a neighbor in the building behind me was playing their music so loud at 3 AM that I could feel the vibrations 50 feet away on the 2nd floor. I took a half dose of Nyquil and easily woke up with my alarm a few hours later

OP could also forget to mention they are way pasd the age of living with their parents and the mom is using passive agressive behavior to point it out.

Just like you failed to mention that you like to jump to wild and outdated conclusions?

YESSSSS!!!! FOR REAL! Could not agree more! About them being to old to live with their parents I mean.

That's my reason for wanting to move out! I hate the weekends especially.

My dad did stuff like that at the ass crack of dawn when I had just gotten to sleep after my graveyard shifts. So on my days off I started banging pots and pans, and slamming doors while he was sleeping and very quickly made my point.

My mom did the same thing at 1am and I had school the next day. I was in high school at the time and she was one of those night owls who couldn't seem to sleep at night. She also had the habit of starting dinner an hour or two after I went to bed.
