i have been feeling so overwhelmed lately. i always get stuck doing all the chores while my sister watches tv in her room. i get she’s stressed about school and stuff but i don’t think my family realizes that im stressed too. not about school, but im trying to be a good daughter and i feel like im not good enough. my mom works so much to provide for us. she’s always so tired but so am i. i don’t even do that much around the house compared to her so i feel so bratty when i get overwhelmed. she’s doing so much and im getting overwhelmed by drying the dishes? i feel like a disappointment. ik my mom loves me but i feel like she doesn’t realize what is going on. my sister is having a sleepover for the third time with her friend and i’ve never even had a sleepover. i’m always doing homework or chores. and i tell my sister to help and she gets annoyed. i’m so sick of it. i just want to hang out with my friends. i never see them outside of school, save for youth group. i just want to hang out with them. my sister always has her friends over. being the oldest daughter is horrible

I’m really sorry :( have you suggested to your mom that you’re overwhelmed with school too, so that maybe your sister can help do some of the easier chores?

    That really sucks :( I'm not the eldest but I understand the feeling of frustration and feeling like you're the only sibling doing anything. You should talk to your mum about it. I'm sure she wouldn't be mad. Maybe she just doesn't notice that you're doing all the chores and your sister isn't? Idk. I hope you'll be able to hang out with your friends more :)

    It’s closed so here’s mine~I would talk to your fam about feeling like the only worker (I feel like this too) is you and it is too much. Your family should understand and try to help you needs. I would suggest to them that everybody gets chores
