Is it normal to be a slave in your family?

I feel like I'm everyones maid in my house.

My mom is at school all the time, even in the summer, so she can't help me when my sisters wont listen to me. (Mind you, they are 15 and 16)

I try and get my sisters to clean up after themselves, because whenever my mom comes home, she screams about how dirty the house is, and she always blames it on me, because my sisters say it's my fault.

And when we all have to clean the house, I get stuck with most the work.

My mom has gotten better on not blaming me, but nothing has changed.

Example: Today, we all had to clean the fridge, so I got the bins that you store food in, my 15 yr. old sister got shelves, and my other sistet got cleaning the entire fridge when everything is out.

I take out the 3 bins, take out all the food, and wash them. I ask my sister to wash the shelves, and I go start making my breakfast.

She complains about taking out food, so I help take out an entire shelf of food, and let her do the rest.

She washes some of them and goes on the computer. Cue other sister washing inside. Now, I have no idea how to put the shelves back in, and I plead for 20 min for my sister to put them in cuz the foods getting warm. After getting my mom to get out of her class and threaten her too, she puts them in wrong. Another 10 min of begging, she changes them. I ask her to help put the food in, she calls me a bitch and goes back on the computer.

My other sister, she was holed up in her room and then decided to take a long shower right as my mom texted her to help me.

Now they're both talking about me badly and crying that they're grounded.

I'm going to be a senior, and my bday is coming up in a coupla days, but moving out isn't an option when the only open apartments are far away from my school.

    i felt the same wat. i moveed with my aunt after i was taken away from my parents for cps reason, and when i lived with her, the only time she would call me or want to see me was becasue she wanteede me to clean up soemthing and a little bit of this and that. and she never cleaned out her dirty tub scum and she left gross this in the bathroom, and thats jst a little bit of it. and her kids room was a mess and they messed of the house and she would just spoil them rotten and make us clean it up! and then her car and then her room, and then the laundry room. and @joybird(79444) i understand we should appreciate everything our gaurdians do for us, yea i will when she actually starts doing something.

      Doesn't she feed you? If not, why not contact cps yourself and get out of there. My mom was always a total bitch but you know what? It's made me stronger and able to cope with practically anything life can throw at me.

  • Thats not called a slave or a maid it means that your sisters are spoiled little brats who are very irresponsible and immature and just fucking stupid, i would maybe do that if i was like 9 or 10 but them being 15 and 16 is totally pathetic, those little brats really need to grow up, also about the mom thing my mom bitches at me all day even when im right cause my bro blames me of shit and she punishes me for no reason when it was my brother.

    I know how you feel, my brother was like that, see if you can find someone to stay with for a while, a cousin, friend, or other relative. Not having your help for a while makes everyone appreciate you much more. As long as you're an actual help to the family, that is.

    Aw grow up! That example is pathetic. It's one your mom would do on top of 20 other chores without even mentioning it. I know you say she's always in school, but I bet you don't know half the stuff she does when she gets home or after you lot are in bed. Give your mom a bit of support as she's trying to better herself so that you can all benefit, and if your siblings are useless then you can make up for them.

    Don't be a whine, think of all the things your mom did for you as a baby, toddler, child and now teenager. Wise up child!!
