Frustration
I am getting so fed up with the idea my grandma has that just because I am a girl I should have to clean the house. I've truly been doing not too much else besides cleaning since I got home...including cleaning till 4am the night before my mom came home after spending the evening at the hospital. My brother and cousin make an absolute pigsty of the entire house and can't even throw their pop cans away or put their dirty dishes in the sink. I could understand it if they were younger, but at 17 & 19 I think people know how to pick up after themselves. Then I am sitting here being in such a hurry all the time with tons of homework to do and places to go, and my grandma has told me several different times to put away my brother's clothes while he is out & about with his friends going to movies and out to eat. How is that fair? I don't even know for a lot of the clothes whose they are. Can't everyone come up and get their own clothes? I'm not their mother...and even their mothers should need to put their clothes away. It's like I'm expected to pick up after everyone, not even like it's a nice thing to do--I just feel like I'm being taken for granted (in many more areas besides just cleaning the house...church, school, etc.). Can we keep in mind that I don't even live here anymore? This is why it's great to live on your own--you are only responsible for yourself. If my mother didn't need me here it would have been way better to stay downtown. Maybe I'll stay down at the house next weekend.
