I am not sure who can relate but i needed to "talk" to someone about it and this is the best place. this is long!!
My dd and I live at home with my mother, my sister adn my neice. My sister and my mom both work and i stay home with dd. Now i used to work and my sister stayed home with dd but it was too much for her to watch both girls. So she went to work and my neice went to daycare and i started staying home. I agreed with my mother to keep up the house in exchange for her paying my car payment. Now to me that meant keeping the house straight, doing whatever chores came along during the day etc... But i really dont get much help with anything. I havent cleaned the bathroom in 2 weeks hoping that someone else would.NOT!!!! I swear they think that since they work then they dont have to help. i do the dishes everynight and when i am tired and ask one of them to do them they tell me that they are tired from working all day. And what the hell do i do all day?, eat bon bons?
Now tonight i cleaned up the kitchen and finished hanging the laundry that i had started earlier today, while my sisters friends came to pick her up, as i am putting baby socks into the drier they say goodbye and she goes out drinking with her bf and others.
But tomorrow will still be the same, the bathroom wont get cleaned, i will finish drying the girls clothes and they will stay in baskets until i put them away, same goes with everyone elses laundry. cant wait to get out of my cinderella contract.
sorry if this is lame and it sounds like a pitty party.
thanks for "listening"

I swear that is what I used to say when I was married! I am so sorry you are having to deal with that. Have you talked to them about it, or are you just waiting to see if they will do it on thier own? I think that used to be my biggest problem, I wanted help but I wouldn't speak up and ask. Heck I am still like that to a certain extent....though there is less chance that someone would be willing to help me clean house now
