Today, I decided to clean the whole house as a surprise for my mother. When she came home, she screamed at me and called me a bitch because she had wanted to clean it herself. FML

Nice…
Today, I wanted to do something nice for my mom. So, while she was sleeping, I cleaned the whole house for her and even made her breakfast. A few minutes later, she came downstairs and yelled at me to keep it down because she was trying to sleep. FML

Today, I hired a cleaner to clean my apartment so when my in-laws visited tonight, they wouldn't think I was lazy. I got home from work, the cleaner hadn't shown at all, and my in-laws had arrived early. My mother-in-law is now mopping the floors. FML

Get Out
Today, I came home to find that my mother had cleaned my room, and she'd done a very good job, too. So good in fact, that she even managed to remove all of the furniture, replacing it with a note that said, "It's time to go, sweetie XO". 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 was called gross by my mother for not cleaning my bathroom. I normally clean it every day, but today it looked clean, and I really needed a break. FML

Today, my mother gave me an early Christmas present; a Bissell mop so I can "do a better job" when I "clean her floors". FML

Okay, I can understand this FML. You don't want someone walking into your house and it's extremely messy, etc no matter who it is. Would a cleaning lady want to work in a house that hasn't been cleaned in weeks because of a lazy homeowner? I sure as hell wouldn't want to. That's pure laziness.

Everyone does that! People don't mind letting maids think they are a bit messy, but they wouldnt want them to think they are complete slobs. You should see the ordeal I have to put myself through before I go for my anal bleaching!

Women's logic....

Men's sexism...

I don't think he was trying to be sexist, even though it did come out sounding that way, I think he was just trying to say some women think differently than some men, when it comes to stuff like.
RyanMacVey 17
If he meant "some women's logic" then he would have said that.
GoW_Chick 15
Not really, he was probably going off of the fact that the mom is a women, so hints the "women's logic," it's obvious not all women are like that, so I don't think he meant it as a sexist remark, I also think people should stop using sexism as an excuse for such a simple comments like this, the terms "sexist" and "sexism" get used to lightly so in the end everything someone says could be looked at as sexist.
RyanMacVey 17
But "women" is plural. Therefore he wasn't refereeing to just the OP's mother. And if he was trying to, then it wasn't obvious. The fact that she is a woman shouldn't make a difference, so there is no need to refer to her as "woman" anyways. The comment doesn't make sense in any other way than the way it was intended. That being nothing other than yet another unnecessary sexist attempt at humour.

My mum does that all the time as well, she's afraid that they will all talk to the other ones and she'll get a bad name :L

I would be the same way. We don't have cleaning lady money, but when we stay at a hotel I keep the room clean and make the beds. I don't want the hotel people talking about me.

I see her point, you always want to make a good impression, don't you
