Living with 6 Adults and 3 Kids..
‼️First off don’t judge I know I’m not where I should be in life and my SO and I are working on it.
COVID hit me and my little family hard, and we both lost our jobs due to it. But my SO finally got back to work a month ago and we have been saving up. He doesn’t make a lot of money but it’s better then none at all.
But when we lost our jobs we couldn’t pay rent so we got evicted. Meaning we had to move in with family. (My Grandparents) with both of our children.
We are not the only ones living here. My uncle lives in the basement and another one of my uncles and his 2 sons moved in as well.
My SO and I have been the only one asked to help around the house since we moved in.. that is until my SO went back to work now I’m the only one helping out.
I’ve been helping out with the cleaning but I’ve gotten fed up with the dishes being filled up in both sinks every night and me being the only one required to do them.
I was also feeding the outdoor dogs after my grandfather bad a massive heart attack a month or two ago.
Now he is back up and doing it again.
My grandmother continues to fuss at me! Telling me I’m not helping out around the house and that I don’t do anything.
That’s when I decided to just pool my own weight, I do the dishes my kids and SO Dirty up and leave the rest. I clean the bathroom..
Because it seems that no matter how much cleaning I do it will always go un noticed.. and when I don’t do it.
My grandmother will complain to my aunt about it and she will text me, going off about how I don’t work and should do all the house work.
But I don’t understand why I’m required to do everything!! Why can’t everyone else help out ??
Their reply is that the “men” do the outdoor stuff and the women do the cleaning..
None of theses men or their grown sons do anything !
What’s going to happen when my SO find a place (currently looking) and we move out ?!
I’m question is am I in the wrong ? Should I just suck it up and help?
Or do it the way I’m doing ?
I’ve talked to my grandmother about asking others to help because they don’t do anything and her reply is “you don’t do anything either!”
I’m just so done..
