Family members not cooperative?

I'm a 4th from 5 siblings 21-28 years old and currently studying in a college. I'm staying with my friends and only go home at weekends.

What drives me crazy is like I arrive on Friday evening, all tired, took my shower, eat, watch tv and go to sleep. And the next morning I wake up.... hulllaballuu the house is like a garbage factory. Food leftover here and there, dishes and glasses, dirty clothes, dirty floors and what I hate the most is the neverending dirty kitchen.

People just eat aand spills everything on the table and floor and leave the plates wherever they sit and have their meals and go wherever they like.

And then there's me just waking up and walk out of my room and wondering where the h**l am I?

My family members are just so selfish. They expect just me to clean all of the mess they made earlier. And I have to cook for lunch and feed the 9 cats that belonged to my older sister which she never did because she always go out and expects people who actually intend to have a good weekend at home to feed her 9 cats 2-3 times a day.

This is what I do not only on the weekend but everday before I entered college. Sometimes I don't wanna do chores anymore cause I think it's not fair but then I ended up fighting with my mum cuz she thinks I'm a lazybones. My dad, I respect him and I don't think he should do the houseworks. But my 21 years old spoiled brat younger brother and lazy 28 years old sister never do anything except eat and watch tv. I can just not do those works and lock myself in the room but my mum would pick up fights with me as my other siblings are invincible.

My mum would yelled at me when she sees the house but little did she realise it was her and the others who made the mess earlier. I just dont understand why it's always my fault when everything went wrong.

I'm not the only one with the responsibility of this house/home?

And it's not just the chores but why the blames are all on me which is so unfair?

What can I do? Old habit dies hard....

  1. This is an incentive to get your own place and leave the "messy ones" to fend for themselves. From their point of view, why should they cleanup after themselves when they've designated you to do it?  Alas, most families are not perfect.  Just deal with what you can and when you are ready get your own home (apartment, etc.) where you will have peace.


  2. If I were you, I would skip a few weekends of going home. You are an adult now, you don't have to go home. If you are not there to clean up after them, eventually they will realize they are the mess makers. Maybe then they would appreciate you being home on the weekends. Give them a call, tell them you love them and you aren't coming home this weekend. See what they say. Good luck!
