is this fair or unfair?

Question

for the first time in my life i want to stay in school for a very long time, cuz once i get home i have to clean the living room, my sister's room ,and my brother's after that, it's the bathroom ,then the living room, and wash the dishes, sweep and clean the table .now my family thinks its fair for me to do all this and for them to do whatever they want but my freinds think otherwise , so the question still stands fair or unfair?

Answer 1

I think it's way unfair. How come u have to clean everything??
y don't each of them clean there room?? And y won't they help u?

Answer 2

If no one else is pitching in, I'd say it's unfair.

Ask your parents to sit down with you and explain to them (maturely, no whining!) that you don't mind helping out in the least, but you'd like to know the reasoning behind all the chores when other people in your home are doing far less. Perhaps they see it as a fair trade since you're living there for free this summer. Are they paying your tuition? Room and board while you're at school? That might be a part of it too. Try to see their side of it, and maybe you'll be able to work out an arrangement where you get to do a little less. Good luck!

Answer 3

You need to talk to your parents about this situation, without a fight. No matter how old your sister and brother are, they should have things to do around the house also. It is NOT fair for you to have to do everything. I would keep a lid of telling my friends about this problem, as it is none of their business, YOU have to speak up and tell your parents that you feel badly about this situation. Good luck, and do not start an argument with your parents, just tell them that you will do what you can to help train your sister and your brother in doing their share. Make it a point to get these feelings out in the open to your parents and siblings.

Answer 4

UNFAIR.....Why must you clean their rooms? Let the hogs clean their own rooms. The whole family should share in the work, not make you the built in maid. Tell someone at school about it...the guidance counselor can advise you on how to handle this or get you the help you need to resolve it. That is what they get paid to do. DO NOT BE AFRAID.

Answer 5

No. It is not fair that you have to do so much work.

There is something going on in your family.

Make sure they know how you feel and do the best that you can with the situation.

God is your friend, speak to God about this matter just as you speak to Yahoo strangers.

Answer 6

Yea... Thats bs. I had to do alot of that myself as well. Now im out in college and im capable of doing everything my own self. Its a great learning exp, but YOU shouldnt have to do all of that! Split the work up is what id try to do.

Sorry you are stuck :(

Answer 7

It's perfectly fine to do your share of the household chores, I know I do. Talk to your family if you think you're getting the short straw though. Ask them, respectfully, why the other kids don't help out enough. If they still make you do all the work, try to do it cheerfully... Maybe they're trying to teach you responsiblity. But you'll never know unless you ask.

Answer 8

It's not fair for one person to have to do all the cleaning. My husband doesn't clean anything. I have to do it all myself or it doesn't get done. I know just how you feel.

Answer 9

I think it sounds unfair. Why do you get stuck having to do all that work?

Answer 10

hmm, that sounds like a lot of work! it would only be fair if you and your siblings divide up the chores and set up a schedule. if your siblings are young, then your parents should do their shares.
