For understanding purposes let me explain that my sister and I switch off between kitchen and livingroom + laundry every week.

Both my sister and I are involved in theatre at our respective schools. Two weeks ago she had rehearsals every night to get ready for the big show at her school. I did my chores as usual, made dinner for my dad and uncle, and did laundry for my sister. Then of course there is homework. This last week I've had rehearsals pretty much every day and it will be the same for this week. Do I get help with my chores? Nope. I don't mind that. Its my responsibility to do my work. What bugs me is that my mom has been pressing me to do my sister's chores. My sister had a morning audition today and my mom wanted me to clean out the cat litter box (my sister's cats, I don't have pets) and wanted me to clean the kitchen. These are my sister's responsibilities and I really protest having to handle them for her. Why is it that I still have to do all my work even though I'm not home until 6:30 at night, but my sister can't handle her chores?

I'm really frustrated with all of it. I was just wondering if I really have a reason to be upset. Is it fair for my mom to practically force me to do my sister's work? What should I do?

^^that's harsh.

i think you should move out asap. seems like, your family depends on you. maybe too much.

i think you should probably go to a CLOSE friend's house.. and stay there for around a week? then suddenly, go back home and see if anything's clean.. if nobody cleaned up... then that's bad...

talk to them. that's all you can really do. tell them they should be RESPONSIBLE for themselves. you weren't born to do their dirty work.

if i were you, i would go right head on complaining, yelling and swearing. haha. yeah. that's me. i'm stressing out at home right now, because of my marks... x.x

i wish you good luck, if you can't stand it anymore... go against them. you don't have to put up with this. if your mom threatens to NOT let you go.. what can she truly do? if she abuses you, you must call the cops. if she locks you in your room or something, climb out a window. =p
