maybe its because your single, and has a long free time to do those cleaning stuff. if you have a spare money try to eat from a fast food before going home.. try to talk to your parents and sister, and ask if you can have a schedule or routine in cleaning those dishes. or try to eat your dinner early before they come home, clean your own plates, and go to your room early then let them know your busy of doing something like projects or paper works. im not teaching you to hide from responsibilities, but i think its the best way to teach them to clean their own plates, and learn them to practice cleaning. or try to print on a piece of paper "clean your own plates" and attach it to plate holder,

this is something i learned the hard way... but if you want to be heard then you need to be the bigger person and be the adult. Next time you have a talk with your mom politely bring up what has been troubling you. Let her know that you would like the chores to be split up between you, angela, and hell! even her boyfriend since he's eating there too. Your mom (like most parents in this situation) may just be really happy that you sister is back and doesnt want to push her away. She may just tell you to shut up again but keep trying to communicate with your parents. I know it seems hard to keep calm when everyone treats you like crap but you may have to do just that and pick up after everyone for a while. I dont know your family but try thinking about it this way: your parents may work hard all day and expect someone in the house to help them out at home... they may be too concerned with scaring your sister off so they target you instead. This stuff happens but it wont be like this forever. Honestly your sister kind of sounds like a brat but that may pass in time as well.

Go to a friends house to stay there for a few days. Or go on a vacation. Point is to stay away from home for a little while and then they will be forced to clean up after they eat. When you come back you would have a valid argument as to how they managed without you.
They might also learn a lesson that they make so much waste and how you have to go through with cleaning up all those dishes and filth they leave behind.

How old are you? If you're old enough plan a family meeting and take a stand. Inform everyone of what is goin on. Let them know that their messiness is not benefiting the household. Everyone needs to pick up after themselves. Oh and if they don't clean up then u don't either if they want to be lazy around the house. if nothing else works, just deal with it. You heard about karma right, and it will come around to them. There just might be a time your sister may need something from you is what I mean.

start by maybe asking Ur sis to clean up on time and then she may see how hard it is to clean up after everyone.

you need to stand up to yourself more.
talking to your mom perhaps is not the best idea. so, try to talk to your sister, maybe she'll consider it.
or if that didn't appear to work, talk to her boyfriend then.
if nothing works, i dunno.
stop doing the housework if you feel too tired.

keep complaining, they may get tired of hearing it.
it's not up to you to clean up after others unless they share
the chore
