Topic: Chores and family drama
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, so here is the deal... i don't understand the point of an argument i had recently with a family member.
Basically, i've grown up in a terrible environment. Parents clothes all over the house, dishes always piled up, bathroom disgusting. Right? Keep in mind that there are five total people who lived in the house. My two older siblings, me, and my two parents. My siblings and i have had to fend for ourselves since we were in elementary school.
Fast forward to today, my two siblings have both moved out with their own houses being spotless and not a dish in the sink. I however, still being in college, am living with my parents. I keep my bedroom clean, bathroom clean, and i make sure to do my own laundry and dishes when needed.
HERE IS THE ISSUE!! i had brought up to my 'dad' that it made me uncomfortable when he would use my bathroom early in the morning, when he has his own in his room. In response he says "when you start heling our around MY house ill stop using MY bathroom." Am i wrong for wanting privacy as an almost 21 year old??
trust me i would LOVE to move out, and have for two months before my parents BEGGED me to move home after the loss of a loved one dear to my heart only two months ago. My father, claiming to have 'rescued' me from my previous place of residence now is stating that i do nothing.
Can we stop normalizing children being servants to their parents?? And can we normalize adults taking care of their spaces and doing their own laundry and dishes??? there is NO excuse for the small house for which there are now only three people living in, to be suuuuch a barn!! i have a cat that stays with me in my bedroom and no matter what, i make sure my bedroom and bathroom are pristine and cleaned up. Bed is always made!!
I think it is not only selfish, but narcissistic, considering he treats my mother, his wife, like a servant and finds no issue in the matter. THEY BOTH WORK and he just expects her to have laundry, dinner, and dishes cleaned up. I'm sick and tired of it!!
