Today, after I got home from school I went to my room to find the maid had cleaned it, also to find a bag labeled "trash" it was all the sketches and paintings I had done in art class, which is my major plan for college. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home and found my desk devoid of all paper. Turned out my mom dropped by and wanted to surprise me by cleaning up my work area. She threw away over 7 months worth of irreplaceable original sketches, notes and storylines, thinking they were worthless. My job is a full-time artist. FML
Today, I flew home from college to see my parents. Later I found the expensive painting and hand-made necklace I mailed to my mom for mother's day while taking out the trash. FML
Today, my dad went through my room while I was out and threw away the "inappropriate pictures" that he found. They're the nudes I've been working on for art class. FML
Today, my mother-in-law visited the house while my husband and I were at work. When we returned, we discovered she'd shredded and thrown away all the scribbled on papers sprawled on our messy desks. We're graphics designers. Those were rough sketches for about 14 different clients. FML
Today, my mom went snooping through my art bin to "clean out my old drawings". She found numerous nude pieces and accused me of selling porn. My mom mistook and threw out 57 anatomy practice sketches that I worked very very hard on, and ripped up the remainder of my drawings. FML
Today, I brought my best painting yet to college. I showed it off and everyone loved it. Or almost everyone. When we came back from lunch break, we found someone had sharpied the words "JIZZ BUTT" all over it. That painting took two weeks to finish. FML
Today, I found out that my art project, the one I've been working on for the last two weeks and the first piece I felt really comfortable about turning in, was stolen out of the art cupboard. FML
Today, my mother yelled at me for not doing all of my homework. She got so mad, she tore up a drawing I'd spent over a week working on. That was my art homework. FML
Today, I finally finished my art project, which was worth 50% of my quarterly grade. I came in first period to give it to my professor. When she turned to look at it, her elbow hit her coffee and spilled it all over the canvas. I got 60%. She said I would have had a 100%, except for the giant coffee stain. FML
Today, I got home to the smell of permanent marker and the discovery that my roommate's little sister had drawn flower petals around every polka dot she could reach on my walls. I just put up the wallpaper last weekend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

there is nothing wrong with having a maid! my family has had a housekeeper from the time my mother was pregnant with my oldest brother until now, when my youngest is ten. (the oldest is twenty-eight.) i have four brothers and a sister; my parents are and always were straight middle-class, ordinary people. having a maid doesn't make you special, nor does going to a school you like. there's things called student loans, ever heard of them? it all depends on where the OP left the art. if it was just sitting on the desk or had fallen somewhere, yeah, the maid is justified. unless they were framed, it's all dependent on where they were left.

have you thought that maybe the OP is to busy to do cleaning around the house by his/herself? Perhaps the OP is busy with extracurriculars, a job, or with friends or family to have time to do thorough cleaning.

I don't trust those women. We hired one once (several people from my neighbourhood have hired her) and she took our money in advance, came for 2 hours out of the 10 we'd paid her for, then left and never called back. She also stole from a family around the corner.... Never again

If you took care of your own room, this wouldn't have happened. You should make arrangements so that the maid doesn't clean your room unless you're there, and if your room becomes a mess, it's your fault for not being there to oversee its cleaning.

why would you trust someone else to clean your own room? What happened to the good ok' days when kids cleaned their own rooms...

If you left it lying about the room carelessly, then maybe she thought you didn't want it? As a fellow artist though, ouch. Swift kick to the groin.

I'm with #10 - who labels bags of rubbish? Wouldnt a maid dispose of the bags?

That sucks, but maids are a little dumb anyways, which is why they are maids. Don't feel bad, they aren't completely gone. Also, you might end up being a maid if you major in art. Just a suggestion. At least your parents have money though! Although maids aren't all that much if they come like once every 2 weeks.
