Merry Christmas!

By John Nani - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, it's Christmas Day. Normally, my family would be opening gifts right now. Instead, my mom is holding our gifts hostage until we clean the house. Apparently, "The presents aren't going anywhere." FML

Unless you have a 5 story mansion with tons of rooms and she wants you to clean all windows, floors, ceiling etc then it's not really that bad.

Haha, sounds like something my mom would do. She's such a perfectionist. But hey, at least you're still getting the presents! Merry Christmas!

if you can't bother to clean the presents should go back to the store. Are you 4? your mom shouldn't have to ask or hold presents hostage you should volunteer and not whine. we couldn't afford presents this year but we have a clean house and fun being together.

It's pretty shitty of you to make your mom go to these lengths just to get you to do some chores. Stop being a lazy ass!

I have a feeling mom was trying to get the house cleaned for several days before Christmas. Maybe next year when she wants to get the house ready for Christmas, you'll LISTEN.

LOL, thats a smart mom I'm saving this to faves

This isnt an fml. If she made you clean as a present to her and making her happy was your present then maybe THAT would be an fml but not this. Be grateful at least youre getting presents

That's an episode of Malcolm in the Middle.
