So I am 18 weeks pregnant, working 45 hours a week, and taking care of my mother’s house (cleaning, mopping, cooking, etc.) because she is never well enough to do it herself. I am also taking care of my two dogs who she makes me lock away all day every day except to go use the bathroom. I have them on a schedule so they do not use the bathroom in my room.

I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR MY OWN PLACE, WE HAVE A PRE APPROVAL, REALTOR L, ETC. So please try to refrain from telling me moving out is a solution because I know it is and I am in the process.

Anyway, I am going away for a weekend trip and I asked my little sister to take care of the dogs, she of course said yes. She is at school right now, so I asked my mother if she could let the dogs out so they don’t use the bathroom in my room and this was her response.

I sent her a thumbs up emoji to avoid conflict, but I am a little upset with her response. She went to the doctor last week who said she has cysts and nothing to worry about. I feel like my request was not a huge one and she could have simply told me she does not have time.

My mother has always been sick, she has been to countless doctors who have told her it is stress, but nothing serious. She does not clean up after herself or her German shepherd who uses the bathroom all over the house, but expects me (who her German shepherd bit last year and sent me to the hospital but refused to get rid of the dog) and my father (who she DIVORCED ten years ago) to clean up after HER dog. But she cannot take five minutes out of her day to let my dogs use the bathroom so I don’t have to clean up poop in my room. Mind you, she was driving all around yesterday with my nephew and going out not to doctors. So again, I do not feel my ask was that huge, and I do not feel it warranted this response.
