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

Get your act together

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

Op, I'm not sure if they are or not, but if they're legal in Australia buy a Balisong and practice doing a "simple open and close" very fast and show up to her house and say you want more money and open the knife. It's very intimidating and if she agrees yay, if she doesn't just walk away with $14.

keep the receipts and nicely tell her "here ate the receipts on what I spent, you can pay me within the month (if reasonable), thanks! ." then the bitch better say "no, no thank you"

OP was forced to help her move out, move back in, and make her house look like a castle. So no, she doesn't live there.

I feel your pain, OP. I would have wanted to be paid in Trident Layers too.

I don't get you people saying "she's family you're a bitch expecting her to pay". If OP is rich and her sister in law is making minimum wage that's one thing, but if OP is struggling financially or something she shouldn't have to foot the bill. You don't screw yourself over financially even for your family unless it's an emergency which this clearly wasn't. OP's sister in law is a bitch for expecting to have someone else pay for her responsibility. If she's struggling financially she should've told OP she'll make payments instead of screwing over OP.
