Today, my husband announced that he was fed up with us being known as the neighborhood slobs, and prepared to take down all the Christmas decorations still up from last year. He then decided it was too much effort, and that he'd leave them up to give us a three month head-start. FML

Today, on the third of February, my mom finally relented and let us take the Christmas decorations down. FML

Ch-ch-ch-changes!

Today, my husband suddenly decided he was going to stop talking about all the changes he needed to make, and finally do them. That's great, except that in less than a day, he lost his shit at me and our young kids for not immediately fixing everything about ourselves as well. They're still sobbing and he doesn't care. FML

Today, my mother was digging up our Halloween decorations, and found the Christmas decorations as well. She's shoddily decorated the house already in half-Halloween and half-Christmas style to save time. I guess we'll be celebrating Christmasween for the rest of the year. FML

Today, I came home to find my parents wearing Santa hats and blasting Christmas music at full volume. So begins three months of hell. FML

Today, someone put dog turds underneath all the decorative reindeers' butts in my front yard. The chief suspect is my curmudgeonly, holidays-hating fuckball of a neighbor. Last week he repositioned them in very suggestive poses. FML

Today, my neighbors coated their house in flashing Christmas lights and blared out "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" all day long. Only 29 days left until Christmas. FML

For better and for worse

Today, my husband decided he was finally going to quit his job. We literally bought a house last week. His job is/was easy, with pay way above his qualifications. After we'd talked about it FOR THE 50TH TIME, he did the opposite and texted the dept. head that he hates the company and wants to be part time at most. FML

Weird reason to leave, but OK

Today, I moved out a few weeks ago because I was sick of my husband not helping around the house, and told him he’d never manage without me. I checked today while he was at work. The house is the cleanest I’ve ever seen it; apparently he doesn’t need me and most of the mess was actually mine. FML

Today, after spending three hours raking leaves, I went to the store to get some supplies. I came back to find my neighbor had decided to blow his leaves all over my yard. FML

Another fine mess

By Anonymous - 31/10/2021 23:00

Today, I recently quit doing housework in protest at my husband's laziness around the house, forcing him to start pulling his weight. The house has never been so clean. Apparently, most of the mess was caused by me moving things to clean around them and making the mess worse. FML

It would be almost pointless to take them down now... But you should probably attend to that soon after Christmas this year...

Now that's a smart man. Theres no point taking them down this far into the year. But still a slob

Well, Having the cars and the tall grass are not helping your case for equal treatment. This is America, we are use to people being different. It really is the cars and grass.

At least you'll be the most decorated family in the neighborhood!

People should live how they want to for the love of God. I love Xmas decorations, they make everything look magical. Leave them up, there isn't enough magic in the world.

"My husband and I are known as the neighborhood slobs because we are too lazy to take down our Christmas decorations. FML" Your life obviously sucks. It's not like your neighbors have a reason to call you slobs.

I'm sure others have asked, but why don't YOU take the decorations down?

I know Noor's self-appointed cheerleaders/ass-reamers are going to bury this, but it has to be said: I felt my IQ crash through the floor as I read her comment. Sorry, no two ways about it, it made ****-all sense and failed to justify its existence. Now I'm even more retarded than before I read it. Great, thanks.

People like you are why I happily live in a neighborhood with a HOA. We are required to take our holiday decorations down when the holidays are over.

**** that. Sounds revolting. What gives people the right to tell you what to do on your own property? I imagine you have to ask for their permission before painting the exterior of your house and have to keep lawns 'manicured'... Yuck!

46, I'm right there with you! I also live in a gated community with a strict association.(It's not for everyone) but I chose to live where I feel my house won't go down in appeal and value just because my neighbors don't care about maintaining their house like I do.(: My first home, I had people that kept wet clothes on clothesline and their front yards turned into mechanics shops with broken down cars that stayed there months on end.
