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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I'm working 12-hour overnight shifts for the next three days. My fiancee can't seem to grasp the concept of sleeping during the day, and keeps coming into the bedroom and telling me to stop being lazy. FML
Today, I had to work a double shift after my relief called in "sick" just so he could go to a party. 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, 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, 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
Today, my boss asked me to pick up more waitressing shifts because we are short-staffed. I already work seven days a week. FML
Today, after informing my boss that I needed stress leave from my 70-hour-a-week shifts, I got my new work assignment. Sixty hours a week, starting at 2 a.m. FML
Today, my husband has been out partying all night. While my in-laws didn't ask him a single question, earlier I received more than six calls from them about when I'll be home to cook and clean. Where was I? In the office for the first time after working from home for past 3 years. FML
Today, I got excited because my husband will be away for 5 days, which means I'll be able to deep clean the house. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Considering your working 16 hour days, the house should be spotless minus what little trash you make when you are actually awake. I worked 16 hours a day for 2 months straight, and I was barely ever awake long enough to even make any type of mess

"No". Problem won't be solved but it's a good first step

wow.... what a bitch. time to look back on her behavior and reevaluate what kind of respect she has shown you in general. she's either having a bad day or is time to leave.

tell her to watch her mouth and that her behavior is unacceptable. if she can’t communicate what crawled up her poop chute like a big girl, tell her to f off until she can

Respond with "I will pick up after myself as usual, but if it's not 'spotless' when you left, it likely won't be when you return."

Well, she can expect in one hand and crap in the other and see which one gets filled first. She surely knows how hard you've been working, right? Does she work? And even if she does, sounds like she has more time than you do...
