Today, my husband announced that he was fed up with us being known as the neighborhood slobs, and prepared to take down all the Christmas decorations still up from last year. He then decided it was too much effort, and that he'd leave them up to give us a three month head-start. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, on the third of February, my mom finally relented and let us take the Christmas decorations down. FML
Today, my husband suddenly decided he was going to stop talking about all the changes he needed to make, and finally do them. That's great, except that in less than a day, he lost his shit at me and our young kids for not immediately fixing everything about ourselves as well. They're still sobbing and he doesn't care. FML
Today, my mother was digging up our Halloween decorations, and found the Christmas decorations as well. She's shoddily decorated the house already in half-Halloween and half-Christmas style to save time. I guess we'll be celebrating Christmasween for the rest of the year. FML
Today, I came home to find my parents wearing Santa hats and blasting Christmas music at full volume. So begins three months of hell. FML
Today, someone put dog turds underneath all the decorative reindeers' butts in my front yard. The chief suspect is my curmudgeonly, holidays-hating fuckball of a neighbor. Last week he repositioned them in very suggestive poses. FML
Today, my neighbors coated their house in flashing Christmas lights and blared out "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" all day long. Only 29 days left until Christmas. FML
Today, ever since the day we met, me and my wife haven’t cared about Xmas at all except for exchanging a few gifts. Well I don’t know what happened but I got home from work and she had bought £1800 worth of Xmas shit and decorated every room and the garden. In November. What? Why? FML
Today, my husband decided he was finally going to quit his job. We literally bought a house last week. His job is/was easy, with pay way above his qualifications. After we'd talked about it FOR THE 50TH TIME, he did the opposite and texted the dept. head that he hates the company and wants to be part time at most. FML
Today, my husband of 12 years announced that he wants a divorce and that he hadn't liked me in YEARS. FML
Today, my husband came home and sat in his car out front for fifteen minutes. I went and knocked on the door, asking what he was doing. Apparently, I always dump so much shit on him the second he walks in the door that he needs a little peace between work and coming home to me. Ungrateful ass. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It would be almost pointless to take them down now... But you should probably attend to that soon after Christmas this year...

Now that's a smart man. Theres no point taking them down this far into the year. But still a slob

Wow. I would never let a husband of mine do that! Get those decorations down! Nobody wants to see a reindeer in your yard during August!

Wow, with an attitude like that #14, you won't have to worry about bossing any husbands of your's around for quite a while. But don't worry, you'll have lots of Christmases to take down your own decorations, and perhaps to realize what it's like to become self-sufficient.

He might be lazy but you can take them down too. Don't blame him for your slob attitude too. It shows your really aren't concerned enough. Both of you are at fault.

Exactly, therefore the OP deserves it.

Yep. If it bothers the OP so much, she can help / take them down herself.

Nobody likes putting lights up or taking them down. Its just a pain in the ass. I don't blame your husband.

Then don't put them up in the first place.. I actually like decorating.. So I wouldn't have left it up to my husband and had to hear him bitch about havin to do it the whole time.. I would have just done it myself.. God gave me two hands and a brain for a reason

Let's face it, if you gave a shit, you'd hire someone to do it in March after your husband failed to do it for 60 days or so.

I think you have just discovered the reason behind them being known as the local slobs. They won't even put enough effort into yard maintenance and house care to hire someone to do the dirty work for them.

Have him take them down one last time and from now on, only decorate with items that are easy to remove. I have a bunch of lawn items I put out. It's still cool to light up and no one has to risk breaking their necks to take them down.(: **Also chances are those lights won't all work/light during Christmas time anyway.

He should make it his new years resolution.
