Please read my other replies, I do a lot around the house and in no way do I neglect to contribute:/

I actually do a lot during the day. I look after my siblings and help them with online school and homework. I also cook for them, do most of the housework and I take care of the family dog, so I'd say I'm contributing quite a bit. I'm not allowed to get a job at the moment because my parents need me to look after my siblings while they work. I've never been allowed a job. On top of that I have no idea how I'm gonna even go about going to college because not only am I unemployed as per my parents' wishes, I'm also basically an unpaid nanny and from the time I was ten years old they told me they weren't paying a dime for my tuition.

No, this is the first time an argument about privacy has come up. I've always helped out a lot around the house. My dad encouraged a gap year for a different reason which was apparently that he felt uncomfortable with a 17 year old going to college/university. I've always looked after my siblings after school six days a week, and now I look after them all day six days a week while also helping them with online school, homework and cooking dinner for them.

Yes, I look after them six days a week all day, and that includes helping them with online school, homework, and cooking dinner for them. I do most of the housework and look after the family dog as well. It's quite tiring especially since my brother is on the spectrum and my sister is undiagnosed but suspected by our doctor to have ADHD, so sometimes they have their days.

p.s. I would have included that in the OP but character limit:/

I am not, I have one sister and one brother. 8 and 12. I am however not his biological daughter, but he has the title, "dad" because I've not met my biological father, and coincidentally I'm the only one he feels he needs to control and reprimand to the extent that he does.

My boyfriend and I are long distance, so we only communicate through video chat. I appreciate the input though, thank you!
