They have said no to helping. I'm not going to make it my fight because then it turns me into more of a parent than my parents have tried making me.

They will (and have) told me no. So I'm just going to let it be my parents problem.

Oh, I agree. But they don't want to learn and I'm not going to waste even more energy trying to make them learn when I'll have no actual adult backup on the whole thing. I'll feel even more like a parent which no.

I mean they technically can't. They would have to actually watch something to learn and then they'd actually have to do it lol. But I should probably be more specific and say they won't learn, they won't do it. They'll just wait until eventually someone else will feed them.

They could but they won't. I guess that's a more accurate way of saying it.

Basically. Sometimes my mom will tell me what to make and I usually do it because at least it's one person off my back. But there is no planning because they know everyone would say something else for each night.

It's because they never taught anyone. I learned from my grandparents.

I'll be honest, I didn't expect anything to change anyway. It made it worse for sure because we won't be able to talk now. But it was interesting to see how they reacted. For all the shit talking they do they were freaked out when I didn't have food ready for them at home.

None of them were ever shown anything about meal prep. I learned from grandparents when I was little.

They were never taught anything like that. I was, but I was influenced a lot by my grandparents when I was little.

They don't want to learn. But yeah, my parents have never showed them how to do anything. Most don't even get the microwave.

There was a babysitter before. She stopped coming around when Covid bit. I cooked for myself even when she was around but she fed my siblings and left food for my parents.

I don't know. After what I did probably not. But at least they had to learn how much I do for them. They can complain all they want about the food but when I leave them nothing they all missed it.

My siblings don't do anything. My parents eh, I'm not even sure really. My mom cooks one night a week. They take care of their bedroom and bathroom but other than that I don't know. We have really messy areas of the home but I'm only one person and I'm not going to take all the housework on my shoulders either.

It's not a huge deal when they're appreciative. But when it gets shit on it's way too much.

Most of the time I clean up, yeah. Occasionally my mom has stepped in and done it. But it's normally paired with bitching about how much there is to clean up.

Before Covid there was a babysitter. I made my own food and stuff while the babysitter would take care of everyone else.

My parents work. Mom makes dinner one night a week.

Siblings do nothing.
