If my mother only knew how badly she hurt me today. Chels is going to be leaving this week. She's going to be going to Kansas. My baby sister, one of my best friends is moving away this week. So my parents are going to rent a uhaul and pack all her stuff up and drive out there to help her unpack. They will be there the first week of August. I'm fine with that.
I only see my boyfriend once a week due to distance and conflicting work schedules. So we are trying to find ways of spending more time together. His parents are going out of town the 4th-10th. And since they don't really like me staying out there when they are there I stay out there when they are not. Thats fine.
Why am I upset/hurt? My mother feels like it's not fair to my brother and sister if I was gone for 5 days. They know how to cook, clean, and do laundry. Not to mention take care of the animals. She takes advantage of me. If I suddenly stopped giving a rat's ass about anything in this house it would go to hell. She got mad at me cause I wanted to spend more time with him. My brother just got to go on vacation with his girlfriend and her parents. He gets to see her multiple times a week. My sister doesn't have job. She doesn't drive my brother to work. She doesn't pull her weight around the house. And when I do ask her to do something she gets mad at me and tells me not to tell her what to do, why? Because I'm not her mother, as she so often yells at me. And yet with her having no job, and not pulling her weight around the house my mother continues to give her money for gas in her car. Have I talked to my mother about it? Yes. She tells me to tell her that she said for her to do it. She also tells me to call her at work. On the other hand she also tells me that I should handle it on my own. I'm not going to go whining to her. I'm not 13. I'm not going to go saying "I'm going to tell mom". I'm not 13. How can I handle it when my sister screams in my face to the point I have to walk away or I'm going to get in a fight with her? I'm 24. I want to be treated like I'm 24. I want respect.
I feel completely taken advantage of. I work 5 days a week. Plus I do things around the house and she never even says thank you. I don't get money. I don't get anything. If I could afford to move out I would have done so ages ago. But I can't. So I'm stuck feeling like a freaking slave.
