Well, first take the swear words out and this sounds like almost a plea for help. Then, what you said about you feeling like you do all the work: that is not an excuse, but a reason. If you feel like your parents are putting on too much responsibility, then tell them that. To help, get out a piece of paper and write down a list of everyone you and your sister do. Next to it, write down a list of everything your parents do. When talking to your parents, you could also suggest that when you get mouthy, your parents and you can create a secret word, so that when they notice you're getting that way, they can say it and you'll notice.
However, there needs to be effort on your part and their part; it's a joint project. Before talking to them, apologize sincerely and point out specific things that you realize were wrong (like, not going to bed when they tell you, or staying on the computer for too long).
After, point out from your perspective things that you think aren't fair of them. But say it nicely! If you start with a "But you guys aren't fair, because..." then they're going to pull up their defensive wall and forget everything you just said. You can help this by saying, "I've realized I've done those things that I shouldn't have, and I'll try really hard not to, but from my point of view, I feel, at least, like I have too much responsibility/like I'm being treated a little unfairly."
And when you catch yourself saying a swearword, like "What the !&$%?" then OUT LOUD, correct yourself with an "Oops! I meant 'What the heck?'." It really helps you break the habit if you close your eyes and have other people hear you correct yourself, not matter how embarrassing it is.
I hope that this helps!

your parents seem to be just trying to make you better children, just like all of us are. i never took anything away from my three boys , they always respected me enough to not do or say anything that would make me that mad. now i was a single mom raising these boys, i made them know who the boss was when they were little tiny kids. all i had to do was count and never got to three. if you respect them they will respect you and your feelings too. just try to go by their rules and they will try to go part of the way on yours, if you give them proof of really changing.

Write them an apology note, and leave it in their room before they go to bed, and then go to bed yourself. This is good because:
a) They can't interrupt writing.
b) You won't be in the room for them to object to anything, and they'll think you're asleep. Naturally, they'll go to sleep too, and then, by morning, they'll have had time to think/talk it over.
