I know this doesnt sound fair but it's not up to you where you live, unless it's out of your pocket. You should consider yourself lucky; my friend has it way worse that you. Your life doesnt sound great but maybe try looking at things from a different point of view. You have a family who loves you, and your older siblings will probably be leaving soon. Hope this helped.

Unless you're going to pay the expenses of a new house, don't complain. And how do you know your parents can afford a larger house, do you do the bills, pay taxes? It's your parents rigtht decide where they live. I think it most be annoying to have to share a room but that's life. I clean alot too, and I don't get paid. It's just a part of life. Managing a house is hard work and you have 3 other siblings. Also, i'm assuming your the youngest correct? It seems like it, you sound like my twin brother. You also don't say how your siblings are annoying. Everyone thinks there parents or siblings are annoying at some point. Think about this I'm 18 and i'm not allowed out anywhere (really I am not allowed to go anywhere except school) My parents have to meet my friends and I'm a college student. I'm not allowed a myspace, i can't have my Deviantart account back, they monitor me on my own laptop. Yeah it's annoying but I live in their house, I have to play by their rules.

This might sound parentish but really this is what you need to do. Take your sister, and then sit your mom and dad at the table. You need to talk to them about getting a bigger house. Tell your mom how much you and your sister help, and that it probably wouldn't be as messy because you would have more storage room. There would be less mess, less fighting, and a whole lot more privacy.

Good Luck

Hello, maybe it wouldn't be so crowded if the grown children would move out of the house. Why on earth should your mother and father make if more comfortable for grown children to live with them. It must not be too uncomfortable because no one is moving out. Moving is not as easy as you make it sound. You have to sell the house your living in, or rent it out which is another big headache. Maybe mom and dad are tapped of money because they are paying for college, or buying food for a bunch of hungry mouths. Why would you get paid to clean up where you live? Does your mom get paid to clean up? Boy you really are a spoiled brat. You think that your mom and dad should uproot for your comfort. You guys are all on a short lease. At the most a couple of years and you will all be old enough to move out of your mom's and dad's house.

ask ur mom how u can help without showing that u have an alterior motive. show her that u can help out and stick to it. once she is no longer complaining ask again about the new house. remember to be respectful because otherwise she'll complain more and have more reason to.
