Today, I've now worked on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, the weekend after that, and two days this week. My husband and son have had all that time off, and yet I've still ended up having to clean the dishes and the house after them on all of these days. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I work in healthcare, and I was told that since someone quit I have to work Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas day, and all of New Year's weekend. This is after I was told, "Our workplace is a family." FML
Today, I went to work during Black Friday, after not being invited to my family's Thanksgiving dinner. FML
Today, I worked a full day and then went to a three-hour class. I got home at 9 PM, and before the door closed I heard, "There's a sink full of dishes for you." There are three able-bodied men in the house, all of whom got here hours ago and created that sink full of dishes. FML
Today, I'm on my sixth straight day of double shifts, with four more to go. I make overtime so I'm not complaining, but today my wife texted me, "Going out of town tonight, I expect the house to be spotless when I return." Not sure how I'm going to swing this one. FML
Today, at home, I always do my share of the chores. I just got back from a business trip and it turns out that I actually do ALL the chores. My wife was alone for 9 days, the kitchen was a in state, dirty laundry everywhere, cat litter box overflowing onto the floor, and the bathroom was fucking disgusting. FML
Today, it was our first kid-free weekend in almost two months, and I was hoping for a nice date night. Instead, she picked up two shifts at work and then had a girls' night. Don't worry, she assigned me a massive deep clean that ate up almost my entire weekend. 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, my toilet broke. Yesterday, the shower filled up with sludge. I have ten people coming over for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. FML
Today, it's my birthday, and like every other Sunday, my wife's been called into work, and I'm left with our three toddlers and yesterday's mess to clean up. It's raining. FML
Today, after working 12 shifts in the past 8 days at 2 jobs and thinking today was a day off, I got the call that I misread my schedule and I was in fact scheduled. Got off at 2:30 am, work again at 9 am with 9 shifts to go this week. FML

Small feet for what reasons? So they can run around on them to do everything for men!?! Sorry, but no. Men & women should treat each other equally

Seriously! Your husband and your son don't respect you, apparently.

Agreed. Better yet, just stop doing everything. They'll get the message eventually.

huh, I was expecting to see a whole bunch of jokingly sexist comments on thats what she was expected to do. I am quite impressed by the fact that there arent any, at least not near the top!

I need to get my mind out of the gutter. I read that as "give you head", which would have been a pretty hilarious thing for a mom to say.

Not really...it's not that suggestive...

Go on strike.

Take it up with them, really. Like now. You can't put up with this; everyone pulls their fair share. Your husband of all people should understand. Dish out the chores, OP!

OP should just stop cleaning up the mess. I'm sure they'll figure it out sooner or later.

90, this may be true but I know many men who probably wouldn't even notice the house was untidy let alone actually tidy it!

Wait, how'd you work a week and 2 days after Thanksgiving/Black Friday when this is the first week after? I'm confused... Edit: never mind, lack of sleep made me read this FML completely wrong. Please bury this

Why would you even post this?
jjames7543 13
45: I don't know, maybe because I wanted a little clarity. Yes I read the FML wrong but it's not like I can delete my initial comment, plus I was too tired to replace it with some witty comment. Why am I even explaining myself?
