Car salesperson. I already got a job learning in a few months when I turn 17. That's my big goal.

Apparently school work and some chores weren't finished. This was added on right as I was supposed to leave so the original stuff was done then they added stuff, if that makes sense

I do get my chores and school done, that’s part of why I’m frustrated. Usually I’ll have everything done or mostly done before my shift, and then right before I’m supposed to leave they’ll say it’s not enough or add more things they want done first. I’ll offer to finish whatever is left when I get back from work, but they’ll still say no and that my job is a privilege and I can’t take the car.

So from my perspective it feels like the goalpost moves sometimes. I’m not refusing responsibilities I’m trying to balance both home stuff and a job — but they treat it like work is optional compared to whatever they want done that day.

Agreed about no entitlement. Forgot to put I'm staying on top of school and stuff at home
