There is a fine line with this sort of situation. By the time I was 16 I was paying rent, working full time while going to school. Now I thank my parents for this, because most of my friend have absolutely not reponsibility, and have no goals in life. They take many things for granted, and they are lazy in the end. I use to babysit for a couple, when her and her husband split she made the oldest son take care of the two younger children, you could tell her was very unhappy, she would force him to do everything while she did nothing. I think that is wrong, you should partake in cleaning their share, not everything and anything. I just dont understand how someone could force their kids to do all their dirty work, while they slack.

That is just sad, how can someone not have time for their children. They will blink and the kids will be grown up. I know we all have to work to make ends meet, but those poor kids will grow up without parents, and then end up not having guidance.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i can understand your situation and i know u never enjoyed your stay with your mother and that is the reason u have moved on and now staying with your grandparents. I think u should have handled the situation very well and in my opinion there is no person like mother on earth. So i do not object u staying with your grandparents but try to return back and stay with your mother. What say?

Sorry your mother did that to you I am grateful my parents don't do that to me. I do my fair share of cleaning around the house and pick up after myself. I do the dishes when there is some and the laundry. If something isn't clean enough I don't get yelled at or things taken away I just redo it the next day but that's never the case because I'm good at cleaning and make sure it's done right the first time. I'm glad things are better for you now that your not living at home.

Hey, now you do less work living with your grandparents, blessings. But not to blame your mum, just be glad that she is your mum, hopefully you can talk to her again. I know, I have been there before, not well with my mum, but now after so long it vanished little by little the hate I had.

Its is good to be feel happy with your family. Taking care of your brother is a good sign of love.

I am happy to know you are happier living with your grandparents. I expect my kids to help me around the house, because they are part of the family and it is just as much their responsibility as it is mine to keep things running in an orderly fashion. Now, if I had younger children I would certainly expect my kids to help take care of them. I wouldn't expect them to be a surrogate mother, but it would benefit everyone if the family is working together on a common goal. It is good of you to want to live right and stay out of trouble. This will make your parents and your grandparents very proud of you.

I understand you... I moved out of my parents home at 16. It was for the same reasons. I had to always clean and take care of my younger sisters. Been there, done that. Never liked it. Take care there, and merry xmas to you....
