Is it normal to not be shown appreciation for what you do?
My husband and I have been living with my aunt, uncle and cousin for 9 months because my husband was let go from his job almost a year ago. At first it was kind of fun to be around family, especially since I thought it was going to be so temporary. Well, 9 months later he's working but is underemployed and we still don't have enough money to live on our own. Over time I started doing a lot of cleaning, cooking, and grocery shopping and now I do it all 90% of the time because every one else is lazy and depressed (they suffer from depression). Sometimes I'll get a thank you, but other times I'll bust my butt to clean, cook dinner, and clean up from it too, and no one will say anything! They all work a lot, but I still work part-time. I understand that we're living here rent free, but is it normal to let someone do all these things for you, and not even show them any appreciation??!! It makes me so angry and I want to punch them all in the face, but I'm also grateful that we have a roof over our heads because of them letting us stay here. I don't know what to do!!
