Work: Quota

Quota

By lazy pregnant girl - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my boyfriend told me that because he works fifty hours a week, I should be meeting an arbitrary quota of fifty hours of housework, and if I don't, I'm insensitive and ungrateful. FML

Today, I was told I'm lazy by my boyfriend because I skipped work. He skips his all the time and when I get home still have to cook and clean up after him. FML

Today, my boyfriend called work because he is sick. Then he called me 4 times while I was working, to complain that I was working, and then he got mad when I told him I was sick and worked a double shift 2 days in a row, apparently that is insensitive of me. FML

Today, I finally landed a new job, and thinking he would be proud, I told my boyfriend. Instead of congratulating me, he got mad that my work hours include Saturday, his laundry day. FML

Today, my girlfriend told me I could sleep in. Twenty minutes later, she was banging on the door, yelling, "Get up, fat lazy fuck! It's seven o'clock, we have chores! You expect me to do everything for your worthless ass!" FML

Never enough

Today, after weeks of my girlfriend complaining that I don't help with the chores, I secretly took a day off work to deal with some that were piling up. When she got home, all she could do was complain about how I hadn't done more. FML

Today, after my boyfriend used to tell me that, with his demanding job, he just didn’t have the time or energy for a meaningful conversation with me. Thanks to COVID, he works 90% less now, finding time for online college, cooking and new furniture, yet didn’t invest even one extra minute into our couple. FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to pick up a few things from the store for him while he was at work. After picking up everything he asked for, I wasn't left with much money so I used $50 from my account. When he got home he then grumbled about me spending all of "his" money. FML

Stressed out

Today, I complained to my boyfriend that I was stressed out. He asked me, "What do you have to be stressed out about?" I work 50 hours a week and go to school full time. I ask him what was stressful about his day, he told me that his "kill/death ratio went down on Call of Duty." FML

I wouldn't normally bash OP's significant other, but considering your name, I'd say he's either pulling your leg, or he's kind of a dick.

If my fiance ever said that to me I would be so mad. I worked while he stayed home and he didn't clean (I would also never say something so rude to him either) so I still cleaned the house on top of working. My ex-BIL used to complain my sister didn't clean the house while he was on the road (he was a truck driver) OR he would bitch she didn't do it good enough. She didn't stand up for herself so I told him don't like how she did it do it yourself. He blamed her for the messy house. He came home and just tossed his stuff everywhere he did not help at all. He is now with someone else and his house is still messy. Maybe if he treated them better they would have done stuff for him.

That seems fair. If he's the breadwinner then you should be the housewife. Your house should be immaculate. Otherwise get a job and a maid.

Are you pregnant, like your username says? If so then he's being a dick. He should take care of you. If not, this would be more understandable.

True gender equality :D To be perfectly honest though, he should also always shave his legs and has no right (anymore) of ever forgetting your anniversary
