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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I learned that my mom's laptop was originally my Christmas gift. She opened it and decided she liked it so much she should have it. I got hot rollers. 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
Today, I thought my mother was coming into my room to give me lunch. She gave me cleaning supplies instead. FML
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, my wife gave me my Christmas gift, a novelty kitchen sponge, then suggested I try it out on the sink full of dishes. FML
Today, my sister gave me a early Christmas present. It's lice. FML
Today, I told my boss I need a scrub brush to properly clean the stairs at my workplace. She gave me an old toothbrush. FML
Today, my mother flipped out that I spent $20 on a gift for myself for my birthday. Instead of getting a gift for me, she spent $300 on a new vacuum cleaner, and claims that we didn't have enough left in our budget to spend on me. FML

get her some laundry detergent and an iron and give her the same crap reasoning back about taking care of your clothes... people don't like it when the tables are turned back at em.

Is "clean her floors" a euphemism for something in appropriate? If not, you really shouldn't have put the phrase in quotations, it makes it sound wrong. Instead of appreciating a gift, you chose to complain about it. I wouldn't get you anything better either.

Another mother who thinks giving birth to a daughter is the equivalent of giving birth to a slave. Been there, done that. Run, run, RUN out of there ASAP if you are living with her or you will spend the rest of your life as her servant. If you are not living with her, take that Bissell mop and tell her to shove it up her ass. And FYI to questioners, the OP was using the quotation marks to denote direct quotes. Those of you who don't see why this gift is a problem, please give me your addresses. I will be glad to buy you all Bissell mops so you can come to my house and clean my floors for me. Can you see why it's a shitty gift now? A gift is supposed to be something to please the recipient, not something that's really for the giver or in this case, for the recipient to use in the service of the giver.

If she was denoting direct quotes, she did it wrong... Who is this 3rd party and why must her floors be so clean? :0

If OP spends the rest of her life as her mothers servant, it's her own damn fault. It was an inconsiderate gift, yes, but Christmas isn't for months, so I'm doubting that's all OP will receive. I'm going to take this one as a joke.

Sorry for you OP. Sound's like my friend and her stepmom. Except the stepmom slapped my friend across the face when laundry wasn't done to her satisfaction.
