I do not know what your mother's financial situation is - but she appears to be a single working mother. Right now she may be doing the best that she can. It appears that she is leaning on your for support - and I know that can be very difficult for you. You are being put in an adult's postion. It would be great if your mother could get some outside help with the cleaning and child care - but she may not be able to afford outside help. If she has a good friend or relative that could help out sometimes - that would be wonderful. Perhaps you could talk to your mother - and tell her you need a break sometimes (see your friends, go to a movie, just be alone). I know things may seem difficult - but running away from home will only make your life more difficult. Please do not run away.

Wow, a lot of responsibilities on you. I just don't know why is your mom mad at you??? You do all the work! It's hard, I know! So you don't go to school than? I don't know how old are you, but you surely have a lot to do!
Could you have fun with your siblings? Like going for a walk,have fun,or you're just too tired.
Don't run away, you'll feel guilty leaving your family after that.
I know you are so tired ,though, and you want to live your life.
Could you make a good, or better relationship with your mom? (I don't know how is it now, I'm just asking,maybe better...)
You need to focus on yourself too sometimes, - some help from friends.
Wish I could help you!
Don't give up , you are a good person!

You have'nt stated your age. But I assume you are a young girl doing quite a lot of house work. It's nice to know that you are a responsible person and you have love and affection for your mum, sister and brother. The trouble is your routine house work is tiring you and making your life dull. Have a heart to heart talk with your mum and tell her you need a break - may be an outing to an interesting place or a short holiday. If your siblings are not too young, pull them in to do to the house work and make it like some fun activity for them. Appreciate their contribution but be firm to make sure they get involved in sharing your house work.
Life then will become interesting and you won't feel like running away from home.

Honey, it sounds as though you definately have your hands full. I can't say I blame you for wanting to run away. This is way too much for a kid to be doing. When you have a free moment, pull mom aside and tell her that you are a little over whelmed. Then tell her that you often think of just running away to escape it all. Tell her you know that she needs you, but that you need some type of balance to be a kid too. I'm sure she'll be more than willing to compromise honey. She may not even realize how she has taken advantage of you. Tell her your daily event list of chores.
If this doesn't work for you, then I suggest you start taking control. It's almost as if you are the parent anyway. Make your brothers start helping. Assign them chore charts and place them on the fridge. They are never too young to enlist as recruits and learn a little responsibility of their own. If you mom questions it, simply tell her that you went to her for help and since she didn't give you any, you had to take matters into your own hands.
Hang in there kiddo, the boys will be in school soon and your life will return to normal.

Go to a quiet room in the house. When you feel better return to your routine.

Your mum works to keep a room over your head and food in your belly. I know it is hard but I am sure your mum appreciates it and one day she is going to reward you for it. You should be proud of yourself you are a good daughter.
