Today, my mom told me to clean the house up because she wants to make good impression on the cleaning lady. FML

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

"she wants to make good impression" Am I the only one that read that in a Russian accent?

I have heard so many people who do that. I really don't get it.

Your family must be doing decently if you have a cleaning lady. A lot of us struggle just to have groceries. Stop whining about something so trivial!

This is very common. Also, people say that you have to look good to go the gym o.O What's the point?

I think it makes perfect sense and it's what any good-mannered person would do. I mean, of course you're not gonna spend a whole day scrubbing every inch of the house, because then indeed it would be pointless to hire someone. But it's gross and inconsiderate to leave all of your stuff lying around all over the place. Wouldn't you feel embarrassed if the cleaning person had to pick up your dirty underwear from the floor before he/she could use the vacuum cleaner ? Usually you hire someone to do the dishes&laundry, to vacuum, dust, mop the floors, change the sheets, but NOT to arrange your things. I doubt you'd want a stranger going through your dresser.
