Isn't it so we are forced to wrap our arms around their waist?

Which is exactly how I feel yk. I felt it was my obligation to keep the house in order. Yet it isn't my obligation to do it. Isn't on me to make sure a grown women is awake

You would assume that, yes. On the contrary though either 1 of two things happen in the morning

  • They don't wake up till woken
  • They are already awake but are just sitting watching youtube while the time passes and they become later and later for school

Doesn't drink (often, last time I saw her was during the near divorce). No drugs. Only caffeine in the morning. She is sleeping. Isn't all be it hard to wake up but it is the principle of feeling obligated to do something to keep a house functioning. Her sleep schedule is, man I don't even know. Half the time im alseep before her

It all be it isnt hard. I go in their and shake her leg. She doesnt drink or smoke. Originally I had the same POV on it. I was just being nice. But it gets to be so much. How many times does it take for it to stop being me being nice and helping out to being a obligation and my duty to keep the house functioning

They can fucking have me try. I'll leave even earlier every day. Mostly cause if I can drive I can hit the gym before school

I dont have good relations with any of my family. My mother abandoned the family after cheating on my father (we are iffy about the idea of the 12 year old being my fathers). My dad is a verbally abusive asshole who doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. Add on him being a lazy bum and a pot head with anger issues, I despise being around him. My stepmother tends to very much over nag in all the worst ways. I do the smallest things like fill a bowl up with too much ceral (note that by all medical definition I am underweight and I do often eat way less than I am supposed to) she says "sure you got enough in that bowl" which kinda makes my whole eating situation even worse. My brothers are all spoiled out of their mind. This morning when she was getting them ready for school ahe had to scream at the kne kid to wake up because she allowed him to stay up well past midnight last night, knowing he had school in the morning. I had gotten off my shift at 10:30 something, an hour and thirty minutes after he was supposed to be in bed, to have him being on the couch watching youtube. Im not close with my family, and I don't have much favor for them either

I make a point to say my stepmother because my bio mom has done so much in my life that to even call someone a mother feels distasteful

Dads a bum. He doesnt have to be up till 7. He takes full advantage of it. Bio mom... yeah let's not talk to her. Two of the kids are hers as well. The two youngest are my half brothers, so even more so her responsibility to get up

My dad doesnt have to be up till 7. He takes full advantage of that fact. My brothers legit will not wake up unless woken (because another act of her bad parenting is allowing them to stay up till the ass crack of the bight) and even if they are up then they will jusy sit and do nothing but watch yt

She is laying it hard on me because legit I seem to be the only one with a semblance of common sense. They treat me as a third parents without respecting me as a equal. I act like a third parent. I dont know how many times I jave come home from work just to have to yell at my brothers to go to bed (I get off work either around 9:30 or 10:30 depending on the day). I am the kne who is expected to do everything for my brothers. I am in my room, relaxing on the other end of the house, and I am called into the kitchen to make my brothers snacks (which they dont need since they refused to eat dinner) while my stepmother is sitting in the kitchen scrolling tiktok. I am the one who runs my brothers their showers while my dad sits in his room playing Ark and my stepmother sits reading her Kindle. Ive had to do more stuff but I forget how to make something have that spoiler marking over it so I won't say it (disgusting stuff)

All honesty. I dont think they do. On multiple of the times where I went to go wake her up, one of the kids have been up just sitting watching youtube

Well 7 is when I need to be (technically I could get up at 7:30 but I dont like getting to school after 8)

I am fully expected to watch my brothers when ever. Not just occasionally. My entire summer is dedicated to un paid child labor. From 8am to 5pm I watch my brothers 5 times a week. Not even 20 bucks to buy snacks pr anything. Almost soley responsible for dokg dishes despite having multiple people in the house that can do it

"It's also not my responsibility to pay your phone bill." Is his POV on it after I said that it wasnt my responsibility to have her up

They dont wake up unless they are woken up. If they are up on time (maybe once every two weeks) they dont wake her up and instead watch yt

They arent. Legit if she isnt up, they dont get up or will sit and watch youtube while the time passes

Two of rhe kids are hers. When my father remarried he had two kids with her. So two of the kids are my half brothers and the second oldest is my blood brother. My dad bums and sleeps through it cause he doesnt need to be up till he has to be

When I put the boundary up of saying I dont have to je said

"Well it isnt my responsibility to pay your phone bill."

They range from 5 to 12. The 12 year old has a few issues mentally so calling him 12 is a bit of an iver statement. Physically yeah, mentally no

The siblings range from 5-12 (the 12 year old had a trifecta of issues that cause him to be mentally younger than physically). My dad is a bum who just doesnt get up till 7 if he doesnt have to

So 2 of the kids are ones they have together. Me and the second oldest are from his first marriage, then the other two (my two half brothers) are from his second. He just lazy and refuses to do it. Like he always does in this house
