They are so messy and hard to put up with!
I have this big issue with my dear family,they're a mess,they are really untidy and messy,they definitely don't like to clean the house up nor do they like to put things away or cook dinner,I have to do everything,my parents are separated and my mum spends half-day working so we are supposed to help her with the household chores,but I'm the only one who actually does something,I have a 22year old sister,she just doesn't care about it,and makes fun of me bc I like the house to be cleaned or dinner to be served so my mum can eat when she's home,I also have this other brother,18,what can I say about him?I'm wordless,please,any help?thanks:)(I love them,but they drive me crazy)

hey,
i have had the same thing happen to me. i am glad that you clean the house for them because it would kill them later having to clean up such a big mess. but you need to sit down with your parents and sense your brother and sister are over 18 i think its time they help to. you cant do it all so ask your parents to assign them a room or 2 to make sure its clean if they dont clean it they get punished if they dont go be the rules and say they wont help with keeping up the house then they can move out and trash there own place. basically rules need to be lade and and your parents may not see that your doing it all tell them you cant do it alone and ask if they will make the others help and if they dont help a good way to get them to help is to make them pay money. they learn fast thats what my parents did .im sorry you had to do this alone for so long but its time that your parents realize whats going on and put a stop to it.sit down with them and im sure you will come to an agreement
P.S. im assuming that your brothers and sisters still live at home if not post a question on my wall and i will give you a different answer!!1 :]
Best wishes to you!!!! :]

Your sister shouldn't be making fun of you like that... It's good on you that you like to keep things clean and you're so kindhearted to consider your mum's well being after a hard day at work (she is providing for you three after all, I assume).
You could have a little family meeting/gathering? If your mum is stressed out by work then I'd suggest leaving her out of it.
I don't know how old you are so I don't know if you have school to worry about or if your 22 year old sister/18 year old brother are older.
Maybe you could explain to them (preferably during aforementioned meeting) why it is important to keep things clean at the very least (messiness I suggest you let them be messy but tidy up your own area and the most frequented common areas if they won't help) and to help out with chores that have to be done such as dishwashing and laundry and periodic house cleanup.
You could try talking to them about helping out with the cooking. Perhaps come up with a roster of which days who cooks what?
I hope this was helpful. My parents are divorced and my mum works a lot to provide for my brother, my grandmother and me. But we have a maid (it's common where I live). I can imagine what it must be like for you, my brother hardly tidies up anything.
All the best! (:
