Today, after almost a week of being bed-ridden with a bad flu, my mom told me it was my job to clean the house. When I told her I still had a fever and didn't feel well, she looked at me and said in an understanding voice "It's okay honey, you can do it slowly." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a horrible case of the flu. I have a fever of 102 degrees and I can't breathe through my nose. Choosing to sleep it off turns out to be enough for my mom to call me a lazy fuck and scream at me for doing nothing all day. FML
Today, after staying in bed all day for a week from sickness, I get up to tell my mom I have terrible back pain and feel extremely dizzy. After curling up on the chair next to her, not being able to keep my head up for too long, she simply stares at me and says, "Can I finish my dinner now?" FML
Today, after spending two days pampering my sick fiancee and her sick son, they were finally feeling better. I woke up feeling rotten and said I needed to rest. She said, "Okay, but I want to deep clean today. Let's go! Out of bed! Up up!" 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, I have the flu. I had to wash the dishes, cook dinner, take out the trash, and take care of the laundry, all while my wife sat around watching TV, because she was "too tired". I work 8 hours a day. She's a college student. She doesn't see what's so unfair about this. 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, I've been bedridden for 2 weeks. My mother, a very busy woman who lives 30 minutes away, took me to the doctor's office, which is barely 2 minutes across town. Turns out I have strep, and a bad ear infection. My loving boyfriend of 6 years, who lives with me, just told me to take a hot shower and I'd feel better. FML
Today, my mom told me to clean the house up because she wants to make good impression on the cleaning lady. FML
Today, after I sent my daughter to her best friend's house for a week, who lives three hours away, her friend's mom got really sick half way through. My daughter came home early because the mom was too sick. Now my daughter isn't feeling well and I just found the mom has the flu. FML
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

C'mon, slack-ass! You've been a parasite to your family for a week, it's about time you do a little work. She IS allowing it to be done slowly -- that woman is a saint!

if you've been in bed for a week, ure actually making it worse by staying in bed. you actually have to get up and do stuff if you want to get better - no joke. that doesn't mean scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush, but it's a good idea to walk around, get the mail, do the dishes, sweep the floor.. something light. u have to fight the sickness or you just keep feeling worse

Yes you can! Don't keep trying to use your "fever" as an excuse to get out of chores. Moms know when their kids are lying

Actually op it'll do you good if you move a lot. You'll make it worse if you just stay on the bed. Do what your mom said just do it slowly. You're doing your chores and exercising at the same time. =D

waaahhh let's all cry. just clean and then go back to bed. this isn't a fml, it's you complaining because you're lazy.

Boo freakin hoo. Suck it up. I know I sound like an insensetive jerk but, that cause I am. I have no sympathy for crybabies that want people to feel bad for them, just becase they had to clean their house while they felt a little under the weather. Try tearing out a fence, then putting it back in while it's 100+ degrees out, while haveing to dig a hole that's 5 1/2 feet deep by 2 1/2 feet across in clay, with post hole diggers for a corner post. then we'll talk.

lmao that's what my mom does all the time. did you try crying and saying "mommy why is god punishing me like this. I haven't done anything wrong so why is he torturing me?" that got me chill time and when I got better I got thirty bucks in my pocket to "enjoy being a healthy teenager."

How about risking your brain and spell words correctly, if you can. "Wud" is "would", and "risked" has only one "d". Come on, people, spelling like this between friends is one thing. But posting messages and comments for the world to see shows either your lack of education or you're too lazy to type a few extra letters.

asshole, you ever had the flu? takes a while to get healthy again
TheDrifter 24
Bitching about fifteen minutes on your feet pushing a vacuum? Not even all at once? It's the flu, you're not dying or parapalegic. My faith in humanity is fading, one more generation amd we'll start dying off from pure laziness and whining the whole time.
