You should know!

Today, my mom screamed at me for not cleaning out the coffee machine. When I told her that wasn’t part of my chores and she never asked me to do it, she screamed at me for not doing it out of the kindness of my heart. FML

Nice…

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

Psychotic

Today, my mom strictly banned me from doing any of my chores, because I missed a spot while wiping the counters. She then screamed at me for not doing my chores. When I went to go do them, she screamed at me for doing my chores when I’m not allowed. I can’t win here. FML

So unfair

Today, my mom asked my siblings and me for help cleaning the kitchen. After working for a half hour while all my siblings sat on the couch, I pointed out that I was the only one working. My mom thanked my siblings for not having attitudes like mine and sent me to my room. 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

Crockery story

Today, I woke up and headed downstairs ready to do the dishes, when my mom hissed at me to, “go do the dishes!” As I was washing them, my mom stood over me the whole time. She eventually said, “You know, it’s pretty fucking sad that I still have to tell you to do these things.” FML

Today, my mom came to my room to tell me that there were guests coming over. Five minutes later, she came to my room to scream at me for not doing the dishes, “like she just told me.” When? FML

OCD or asshole?

By Ellie - 23/07/2024 23:00 - United States

Today, I got home to my grandma yelling at the top of her lungs that I didn't do everything I was supposed to when I was home. I literally washed dishes, cleaned counters, vacuumed, gathered trash, AND cleaned the bathroom. I didn't fold my blankets. That's it. That's what she was yelling about. FML

Selfish

By Anon - 10/10/2011 15:24 - Canada

Today, my mom yelled at me because I refused to lend her money. The reason I won't lend her money? The last time I did, she and my dad went out and bought a Macbook and a new car instead of paying bills. Apparently, I'm being 'selfish' by keeping my own money and putting it towards university. FML

Tell her they clean the machine for you in the nursing home. That should shut her up.

I would think that this should depend on whether or not the kid drinks coffee. If they don't than mom is screaming at them for not doing what she, as the actual user of the machine, should be doing. It's not about "Not caring" if it is actually a case of not cleaning up what is entirely someone else's mess.

How can you let your mama drink dirty coffee? No wonder you're not a phenomenal ****.

If you do your job (chores) cause you have to you do the bare minimum. If you do it because you care, you figure stuff like this out. I’d also be mad if my kids didn’t care. This will apply in marriage too

If you're already doing dishes or cleaning the kitchen then that's just lazy.

I figure the biggest user of an appliance or who who uses it first is the one who should clean up after. Sounds like your mom is being super lazy and there is no excuse to yell at you for not guessing the thoughts in her head. I had to deal with this with my mom growing up. As an adult, with a wife, I clean things because I love my wife and dont want to be a burden on her, but my wife at least tells me if she expects something from me. Not just yells at me because I dont “guess” what she wants. Best to make sure your mom spells out what she expects. Not post facto.
