…………maybe do your chores?
…………maybe do your chores?
holy cow thats alot
…………maybe do your chores?
That sounds like a good idea…. like actually…
Yeah but normal people don't send their kids to a therapist for not doing them so it's really not Winter's fault
Well not entirely, but doing them would solve the problem at least for now
But that's clearly not the only problem. The mother needs help simple as that
I'm not denying that, I'm just saying that doing chores doesn't hurt anyone
It would help appease her mother, and help stop things from getting worse for her, that's why.
I do my chores! I've just been slacking because I have too much of them! Normal teenagers are told to clean their room, sweep the floor, maybe do laundry or the dishes. I do all of that. But my mom makes me clean the tub with a toothbrush. Like on my hands and knees, scrubbing it. I cook, I clean, I fix, I do everything and more. She just puts too much on me. Like my normal Saturday is getting up at 8, making and eating breakfast until 9:30, getting dressed and ready by 10, start cleaning the dishes and running the dishwasher until 11:30, then I sweep, vacuum, and steam mop the floors until 1, then I make lunch for everyone, until 2, then I go clean the entire bathroom until 3:30, which consists of scrubbing the tub, floor, sink, and toilet. Then I go upstairs, and sweep, vacuum, and steam mop the floor, until 4:30, and then I clean the entire bathroom up there until 5:30, and then I go back downstairs and make dinner until 7, and then I wash the dishes again from throughout the day until 8, and then I clean my room until 9:30, get a shower and ready for bed at 10:30, and then maybe I'll read or watch tv until 11:30 or 12, and then I just crash, and then get up at 7:30 the next morning to get ready for church, because I play in the band, and I have to be there at 9… I'm just overworked…
So um well then
Maybe tell her that it's too much? Although it seems like that wouldn't do much good, considering, well…
hugs winter im sorry dear
My dad is on my side though. I just have to hold out for another year…
I just have to get away, and I'm trying so hard…
i wish i could do something to help you
Ehh. It's been my life for the past 7 years. I just have to muscle through it for one more. I'll be fine in the long run. As a matter of fact, it's taught me things not to do, that I will hopefully pass down to my kids. So instead of like I don't know, turning into a pity story, I'm going to make the most out of it so I have one heck of a story to tell my kids one day.
Good way to look at it
And I can tell them that their grandma is crazier than crazy.
Okay, I have to agree that is a little much, though I have to disagree on it not being normal. (Not trying to offend, but give examples,) The reason I say this is because me and my siblings do many of the same things. Though not every day.
On a regular day for me when I do my chores and not procrastinate on notebook, I'm expected to tidy my room, run the laundry downstairs, make my food, make supper for the family, help with breakfast, take care of the trash, babysit, do my homework, sweep my room, change my sheets, make sure dishes get done, check that the stove is clean, not to mention the odd fix it job.
Then there are weekly chores, This week I believe I was exempted because of my retreat last weekend, but normally these can be anything from cleaning the bathroom, (Floor (Sweep & hand clean) bathtub, and sink, and toilet, (Spray and wipe down, thouroughly.)) Cleaning the car (Vaccum, wipe down surfaces & windows) Cleaning the garage (Sweep, pick up trash, organize) Vaccuming the basement (picking up toys, laundry, underwear, and other junk, then putting a lot of it back.) Floors, (Sweep & mop the main floor) and stuff like that, and those are given to all of me and my siblings, (10-5yrs old) regardless.
(I'm also expected to take care of the yard too, watering, mowing, shovelling)
Yeah, I do all the yard stuff too, but I probably should have mentioned that it's just me. I have a sister, and she's 14, but she's exempt from anything. Like a chore? She goes I'm not feeling too good, and my mom is like pick up the slack (my real name) it's just me. My dad tries to help, but my mom and sister do absolutely nothing. Like my mom will say she's doing work on her computer, but everytime I go in there to talk to her, she's on Facebook .
Okay that sounds lowkey abusive…
I mean, I literally try to pass my stuff on on my siblings all the time, and get called out for it. This should not be a thing, (Unfortunately I know what you mean by being the oldest and expected to do everything, my sisters will leave stuff undone occaisionally and make me do it without getting called out, though it's rare that I realize it'a happening.)
Like my sister has been sick on and off, but it was a little ways back. But she plays the I'm sick card all the time. And my mom is like aw you poor baby. So I'm stuck in a loop. But I'm great, I'm a tough cookie, and I'm counting down my time until freedom.
But it has made me unbelievably strong physically. It's really awkward because my shoulders and back are starting to look more like a male's than a female's. And it's hard to find dresses for me. But hey, I can fend for myself. And I do have places to go if something goes really bad.
At least there are good things to come of it
Yeah. Not everything is completely bad. There are some good things, but most are kinda not
That's good.

If it gets really bad, you can emancipate from them when you're 16
I already am 16, almost 17, but I unfortunately don't have a car, or a steady job.
But you're engaged?
But you're engaged?
I believe the answer to your confusion can be found on page 123 of this chat if you care to go back. That took a lot of digging.
Would it be mean to say, "Ah yes. Incest," the next time I see them? Since you know, they both claimed the other was like a sibling
And now they're dating
because honestly they both really big me
