I had to make brownies, and clean the kitchen, after spending part of today vacuuming the downstairs, because Deities forbid Dad do anything in the kitchen to help Mom or me out. I spent part of yesterday vacuuming the upstairs, and stairwell. I still have the kitchen and laundry room to vacuum, and Dad wants me to go get his deathsticks tomorrow, too, and on top of all that, I have to help Mom with bringing in the groceries after she gets home with them tomorrow, too. I can't keep doing multiple-match activities back-to-back.
I use She/Her and They/Them pronouns.

Sounds like you are shouldering all the work your parents don't want to do, 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. I use She/Her and They/Them pronouns.

I can't stand men like that, who believe that they can't do the housework because of old gender roles. x( Thankfully my parents have always both done the housework. Though my mom would do most of it, but my dad does the cooking. But then again my mom enjoys cleaning, since she can't stand things messy. I can't either though so *shrug*.
ty bluebird for the art! :D | ||||

If Den's mom did all the chores and Den's dad made all the money, I might agree with that considering there are no younglings to take care of. But even so, if the mom needs help, the dad should pitch in, without pushing it all on the child.
Really seems to need a change in dynamic there, since not everyone is happy with the arrangement. ♥ Never be afraid to be yourself ♥ Want to see my art or webcomic? Serra's Art Gallery A Neko's Quest | My Closet Kitsune's Haven Image courtesty of tsukiko | ||||

Sephy, I don't know if she could. She says there that she's got a little printer.
Den, your dad's excuse is lame. My grandpa did the vacuuming and the dishes. I'm not very active right now, because of stuff. If you don't see me around and you really need to get hold of me, you can yell at me over at one of these places? My blog. KofK CS Gaia Sale thread woman | ||||

I know that, and mom does, it's just that Dad doesn't, and if we bring it up, he'll throw a tantrum.

My mom's the one who thinks men shouldn't do anything in the house. Even today!! It's crazy, like, my sister and her husband have jobs, but her husband works at home, since he does computer stuff that can be done remotely. And my mom asks my sister only if she's cooking and cleaning... and my sister is ??? I'm not the one at home all day mom ???

As long as the household chores don't end up being done by indentured magic creatures. They'd need to be paid...something.
