I don't mind helping out, but when I do most of everything by myself, then t gets tiring. I do dishes every night; my aunt's, uncle's, mom's, dad's, cousins, so forth. I can be lenient with my parents, they work from 7/8 AM to 5/5:30 PM, don't get home till 6:30. Same as my aunt; works from 5/6/7 PM, doesn't get home till 1/2/3 AM.
But still, there's other kids here who can do shit around the house. Then my one cousin, 11, is in the same school as me, and she's falling behind. Literally. And expects me to do her schoolwork for her, as I, foolishly, have in the past.
It's tiring, and draining. My parents speak up, and nothing changes. My brother has a full on tantrum when he's told he can't play games when he doesn't do as told. Literally. |
