Am I in the wrong for getting upset at the fact that no one helps my husband and I around the house? Granted we live at my grandmas house and pay all of the bills, and I buy ALL of the food, no one can help vacuum do dishes you name it. There’s mold growing in my moms bathroom that I have to keep cleaning because my daughters go into her room. My mom has an injured back. So i can understand not vacuuming but they’re both so self entitled and honestly im fed up. My hubby and I both work full time and then are expected to come home and clean in order to even cook. What can I do, should I do? Can I do anything?

Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. Am I wrong to be upset that no one helps around the house?
What a crap situation. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. You’re absolutely entitled to feel the way you do.

Move out? Sounds like they are older and need help. Perhaps hire a cleaning service to come in to deep clean a couple times a month.

Imagine how your grandparents felt raising their kids, working full time and doing house work without any help. I mean, have a discussion with them. Maybe set up a chore chart for everyone and their responsibilities and go from there. Explain how exhausting it is and that you’d really appreciate some assistance.

Sounds like your mom needs your help, maybe grandma does too? Give you daughters daily chores,tell them to get used to it because this is life.

You can move out. I wouldn’t mind cooking and cleaning but I’m not paying all the bills, cooking, cleaning and buying all the food. They can pull their own or you can leave.

I would make plans to move. Grandparents should start looking into assisted living facility or senior’s apartments. Mom should probably look into a senior’s apartment as well. Once you have your own place, tell daughters to get busy and help. They live there and contribute to the mess, they can help clean up.

We need more info. Who all lives in this house and what ages?
But, when we lived with my grandmother (we were building a house) we paid for everything, I cooked, cleaned, and did all the yard work and worked full time. I looked at it as: we are an inconvenience to them and they are doing us a favor. And also, the younger generation should always take care of the older generation. JMO.

People only get away with what you let them get away with. Set up a cleaning schedule with everyone that’s capable of doing the chores. Those that don’t want to clean must pay those that do the cleaning. $25.00 is the going rate.

This makes no sense, who do you think should help, who else lives in the house?
Get your own place. That’s probably the easiest way to remedy the situation.

Maybe u allowed it 2 be that way for 2 long so they feel like they don’t have 2 help ?
What you could do is become the adult that you are and get your own house and then you won’t have the problem of having to clean up after other adults.

They should help! Especially cuz no matter where you are your raising them where ever you are paying for their food and food over there head and that water they need to shower or drink!! Stay strong I’m happy to hear your raising a family and helping your grandma! Hope people start helping out more glad your grandma has you.

Your kids aren’t helping either but you expect your elderly grandparents and parents to do the housework ? Wow ! You should be ashamed. They let you live there and you would have to clean cook and pay bills in your own place too

These days teens are only good at sitting on their ahole.ive witness plenty.and I’m talking 18 plus yrs old.c
ant,cook.wash dishes,make their bed.wash their poo hole etc.useless pack of NO hopers.
Should have started training them from the bebinning
Are you living there to help them out or to help yourselves out? Are they watching your girls while you are working? You already said your mama has back issues and, believe me, that makes it hard to do anything. How old is your grandma…not that it matters, she’s your grandma and probably took care of you at some point. Also, are you cleaning up after your mom & grandma or your girls? You will need help one day so take care if your mom & grandma, without complaining, and set an example for your girls.

Move or stop being a maid
How old are your daughters? If they are of age. Not helping or working. Why did you allow this behavior. You raise a child to be independent as an adult. Then they get out and know how to care for themselves.

Is your grandma there?
If get her to tell your mother and daughter to help ir get out.
There’s apparently a simply remedy to clean the mould off.
Put vinegar and Clove oil in a spray bottle. Spray the area and clean off.
Keep bathroom ventilated and/or exhaust fan on when showering
Change internet password so they can’t use that, tell them they have to contribute to bills or they move out.
Could always make them pay for a cleaner
Also, how old is your daughter?
If you pay for things for her, eg phone… stop!!
If she doesn’t want to help, take the charger so when it’s flat, it’s flat.
House isn’t clean then they can go to bed hungry or take away all their devices and no tv until they start helping out

Move on, do you honestly think you will be there happy and forever? If your mother and grandmother are disabled they can get help, but not with you and your family there. Sometimes it’s just better for everyone to have their own peace of mind ( home ). Good luck on your future endeavors.

Move into your own house and let your mum and grandma figure it out for themselves. Be an adult and communicate your issues. Do nothing but clean up after yourself and kids. Don’t do anything for them. Don’t let them manipulate you. Set some boundaries for yourself.
