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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while my parents were grocery shopping, I cleaned the kitchen, swept floors, did laundry, and cleaned bathrooms, only to finish right before they got home. After dinner, my dad bitched and complained that I didn't take out the trash and he had no room to throw away his paper plate. FML
Today, even though I help cook and clean on a daily basis, I got called lazy and told I don't do anything around the house. I live with my parents and twin 18-year-old brothers and they all say this. 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, I spent my day alone while my parents and siblings were at school and work. Trying to be helpful, I cleaned out the fridge, did 5 loads of laundry, worked outside, fed the pets, and made dinner for the entire family. The evening was spent hearing complaints about how wrong I did everything. FML
Today, I had my first day off in six months. My mother immediately came down to my room and demanded that I clean the entire house. As I was cleaning, she said, "You don’t get to relax. Ever. Lazy ass." FML
Today, my mom is on vacation and I’m taking care of her pets. I also get to clean the entire house. No, she didn’t ask me to do that. It’s just that I had to hold my breath every time I opened the fridge, and there is no surface clean enough to actually touch, so I simply couldn’t help myself. FML
Today, my mom told me to clean the house up because she wants to make good impression on the cleaning lady. FML
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
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 and siblings got into a fight. Being generally quiet and non-confrontational, I stayed out of it. Shortly thereafter, I was yelled at by my mother for being "ungrateful" and "disrespectful." I still don't know what I did wrong. FML

Next time just don't clean and sit around with your siblings. Let's see if she likes that attitude better

Well, at least you don't have to clean the kitchen anymore. Maybe your mom might even force your siblings to help clean now.

I have a son that helps out a lot while his siblings sit and watch television. When he gets that same attitude, I agree with him. I usually reward him in some way, and the others don't get shit.

Cus you have a functioning brain. Clearly OPs mom can't tell a reasonable complaint from bitching. orry, OP, your mom has her priorities out of wack. Just remember that you were doing right, and don't let her convince you otherwise.

That's a good lesson to teach your kids, do nothing and piss off your siblings and get rewarded. Sounds like a decent bunch.

Yeah, I know the feeling; my sister did the same thing when we were younger.

sounds like my house but there's 7 kids and I have to do the dishes for over an hour .-.

My mum does exactly the same, she'll ask everyone to do something, if only I do it I'm the one that gets in trouble and I'm not even thanked :(

Stop doing anything. If you get in trouble anyway...

This is why I'm grateful to have grown up an only child.

Except that means you ALWAYS got to be the only one helping.

Stop complaining, Cinderella.
