How do I get my family to stop depending on me so much?

Question

I love them I do. I can't seem to do anything for my self.

My brother went 8 hours away and left his dogs here. My parents cant take care of them so I do. My parents worry about when I come home, what im doing, whats for dinner, etc etc.

I know I need to move out but financially it's hard right now and I am also helping them.

It seems like they depend on me for so much, I dont mind helping other people but how do I tell them it is too much without hurting their feelings?

They call me at work to do stuff or pick up this or look up this and it interferes with my life.

I had boyfriend issues yesterday and forgot to pay for my bro's tuition online with my parents credit card, and they dropped his classes, NOW he is upset.

Everyone is always upset because I cant do everything.

How do I tell them to lay off?
