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?

i think you have a right to be upset.
i'd confront my mom and my sister about it, and set another arrangement/schedule.
like, when she's away, you'd offer to do her chores, but you must get the same in return... you know?

I agree, you can't do someone's work when you have equally of busy schedual. It's not fair...tell your mom that if she's going to pressure you then she needs to pressure your sister too.
