Today, after an exhausting weekend of work, I decided to take a nap. I was awoken several hours later by my mother-in-law knocking on my door. Apparently my 11-year-old called up grandma to complain that she was hungry and that mum was sleeping instead of cooking dinner. FML

Today, after getting home from a twelve-hour shift at work, I got into bed and passed out. My mother soon woke me up, screaming that she could tell I was "fake sleeping" and ignoring her lecture on how I need to stop being so "lazy". FML

Today, I finally had a day off in two weeks and I was excited about getting to sleep in. At 5 a.m., my mom loudly knocked and came in. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she was checking to see if I was asleep. FML

Today, my mother woke me up by loudly vacuuming the house. I had to work the next morning, so I asked her what she was thinking. She told me that if I was really tired and needed sleep, I wouldn't have woken up. It was 3 AM. FML

Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML

Nice…

Today, I wanted to do something nice for my mom. So, while she was sleeping, I cleaned the whole house for her and even made her breakfast. A few minutes later, she came downstairs and yelled at me to keep it down because she was trying to sleep. FML

Make it stop

Today, I was feeling too tired because I couldn't sleep last night, due to my mother's snoring. Since I stayed with both my parents and my sister in a small town for a vacation, I requested to sleep in separate rooms because my mother's snoring is disgustingly loud. She refused, and called me a crybaby. FML

My kingdom for a lock

Today, I asked my family not to disturb me while I slept, as I had hit over 72 hours of insomnia. My family must have heard me say, “Come in every 20 minutes and wake me up with whatever banal shit you can think of.” I gave up when my mother-in-law decided to enter my room and start vacuuming the floor.

It's just me

Today, I stopped by my elderly mother’s house to drop off some groceries. I decided to clean the place while I was there, just to be nice. In true Three Bears fashion, I fell asleep on the couch. I was awoken by a police officer pointing his gun at me. My mom woke up and thought I was a burglar. FML

Today, after staying in bed all day for a week from sickness, I get up to tell my mom I have terrible back pain and feel extremely dizzy. After curling up on the chair next to her, not being able to keep my head up for too long, she simply stares at me and says, "Can I finish my dinner now?" FML

Back to square one

Today, I was babysitting for my neighbors. Their 5 year-old had finally fallen asleep at 11 after two hours of stories and songs. No sooner had I tiptoed out of the room did I realize that my phone had dropped out of my pocket onto the bed. It was ringing. It was their mother checking in. FML

FYL for living close enough to your mother in law that she can knock on your door without buying a plane ticket first.

I knew the concept of responsibility when I was 9! when I was 10 I was ten I was at least able to cook eggs in a couple ways. my mom worked nights and was always exhausted. she still cooked most of the time but on the rare occasions she didn't, I was able to step up. kids today are too over babied. so glad I'm not growing up with this generation

Its ok 85. Someday you will grow a pair and figure out how to compliment, or even be civil, with the opposite sex. I am rooting for you kid. Just hang in there.

notice op's kid neglected to tell grandma that Op had just gotten home from a long weekend of work also may be time to teach bratty dearest how to cook so he/she has no excuse to call grandma again

Your child is 11 years old, and can't make eggs, toast or even cereal? Can't make a sandwich? How about you get yourself some parenting skills?

Jesus. When I was eleven I had to ask for permission to use the phone.

I was taught to cook at 7. With my mom being divorced and gone at work every night and my older siblings home to watch me, I had to make my own dinner. OP's child sounds like a spoiled brat who gets their way with everything. I feel bad for OP for having to deal with that. If I acted like that when i was that age I would have had a spank on the butt. Although I am still considered a teenager, I know not to act like that and make myself something to eat if I get hungry.

You raised her. Your own fault.

You slept 'several hours' and your child was hungry. It asked for help. Next time have food on hand that's easy to reach and prepare or maybe ask the in-laws to babysit, but don't be negligent.

You poor thing. A whole weekend? Wow, you must really push yourself. Actually, get over it. I haven't had a day off in over a month. I still get up 2 hours early to play with my puppy & study and stay up so I get 4 hours of sleep to do the same. It's called being responsible.
