[Den]

Dad grew up in a time where women did the housework while the men relaxed after work. doesn't excuse his behavior. Mom's got a cold, so I get why she wanted me to make the brownies, since I'm the only non-sick person in the house currently... but I have to do chores because Mom works during the day, and Dad doesn't really help out.

Mom refuses to sort recycling when she bags it up. and right now, we've got a PA standoff in the upstairs bathroom we both use, regarding the trash. I don't mind doing vacuuming, because I like doing it. I just wish my folks would stop treating me like I'm the only person who can do stuff around the house.

On the weekends, Mom does laundry. and sits in her recliner, watching tv, and cleans the kitchen. During the week, she'll sometimes clean the kitchen after coming home from work, and depending on the weather, walking the dog.

During the week, I usually end up cleaning the kitchen, occasionally vacuuming, sometimes getting Dad his deathsticks from Missouri, working on designs for avatar items, job hunting, keeping the dog out of trouble, and just trying to keep on top of my own health.

on top of all that, Dad smokes in the basement on the weekends, and the kitchen every night.
