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

that a hell lot better than me. I cut my finger (nearly slice a third off the tip) while opening this medicine bottle with a knife (trust me when I say im not weak, the manufacture are jerks, along with baby safe precaution) for my mum. 4 things happen. 1. as soon as she say be careful, literally just finish her sentence. I cut my finger. 2. she replace "are you alright" from most mother to " I told you so". 3. as I hurry to find some bandage because im bleeding really bad. she told me not to spill the blood. --_--; 4. she made me clean up the trail of blood.

if I were you, I wouldn't do a single thing. you're already "grounded" since you're sick and weak in bed.

I'm pretty sure you aren't dying. Stop being so selfish and do what you should do. This isn't an FML, it's a kid whining

My mum does the same thing. If I'm making time off of work and class due to being sick, I need to make up for it by doing all the cooking and cleaning.

You're supposed to rest and get better. Not work around the house. -_- FYL, OP. Sometimes, it's actually a good idea to disobey your parents. I'd take having my stuff taken away or being grounded over straining myself any day.

This is such bull. Do you think your Mother gets a day off when she feels ill? Pull it together or adulthood's going to be a nasty shock.

Um, yeah, actually. Most jobs do give you sick days.
