Money: Thanks, I think?

Thanks, I think?

Today, after a weekend of helping my sister-in-law move out of our house, vacuuming and mopping her bedroom and bathroom for her, scrubbing her walls and cleaning her shower, transporting her furniture, and getting her carpet professionally cleaned, to cover costs she offered me $14. FML

Today, I busted my ass to help this old lady move her stuff because she was going to a nursing home. I was told I would get paid. When I finished four hours later the lady took me to a room and told me to pick out anything in her little goody bag. I got a race car as payment. FML

Today, after doing vigorous chores all day with my girlfriend, her mom came and paid us each $100. My girlfriend cried and threw a fit because she said they were her chores, so she deserves all the money. FML

Today, after spending thousands of dollars and several years pursuing a higher education so I could get a high paying job doing something that requires skill and brainpower, I finally got my first job offer after months of searching. I will be cleaning houses. FML

Today, my parents decided that because my sister never cleans the bathroom, every time she doesn’t, she and I BOTH have to pay $100 a week for a maid. I can’t afford to move out, and with this, I never will. FML

So unfair

Today, my mom asked my siblings and me for help cleaning the kitchen. After working for a half hour while all my siblings sat on the couch, I pointed out that I was the only one working. My mom thanked my siblings for not having attitudes like mine and sent me to my room. FML

New life

Today, after losing my job, my apartment and my man, I had to move back in with my mom, at 37. She’s a total slob; I can’t function without clean, organized spaces. So, hey, at least I have a new full-time job now: cleaning up after her. FML

Today, I was cleaning my old neighbor's bathroom, because he asked me to and I didn't want to be rude. Plus, I was getting paid. He told me to "get the floor pearly white." So I scrubbed, and scrubbed, and scrubbed. Turns out the floor tiles are naturally a dull yellowish. I didn't get paid. FML

Today, after the last few months of my sister living with me while she finds her feet, I asked if she could help me out by doing the washing up. Half an hour later, I walked into knee high dish soap foam in the kitchen. My sister was right in the middle, trying to sculpt dicks. She's 20. FML

Today, my mom asked me to clean beneath my brother's bed for money. I found a rotten apple, a picture of my best friend, and a dead bird. I got $10. FML

you should just ask for half the safety deposit she's getting back considering you are the only reason she is getting it back in the first place

I don't care if its an in-law, you still help family to be family.

In 1911, that would buy you a trip around the earth and a rollercoaster ride with Chuck Norris's grandpa.

This is one of those cases where it's less insulting to get nothing. IVY OP.

If she had have spent that $14 on a couple of beers down at the pub, it would have been okay.

You insensitive bitch! Poor Dobby did work like that for years, and didn't get jack shit. You have to have a rant on FML about the $14 bucks you made?! Harden up before I throw a sock at you, filthy mudblood.

I'm sensing some kind of feud here. Don't air out your dirty laundry here. No one is interested, I assure you. Take it to PMs and tell each other how much you hate/love/want each other.

Thank you. I didn't want any "feud" but she just was commenting me down. For the girl who posted the comment: Message Me!

If she is moving out of YOUR house, aren't you cleaning YOUR house?

I'm guessing Op did that stuff at the in-laws new place.

if she's broke that offer may mean a great deal more to her than it does to you. if that's the case you shouldn't accept the money. Family should help each other without pay or any other reward.

Carpet cleaning is expensive though. What if OP is having a hard time financially? Even if she's not, it's still a lot of money. It wouldn't be fair to expect a sister in law to pick up the tab on that. Yes you help your family but you don't screw yourself over in the process.
