I hate it. My dad always complains everytime he sees chores not being done.Beforehand, I have done the chores he told me. But why is it not always enough for him? I feel so unappreciated. And i feel like he doesn't see me as a daughter but rather a slave.Sometimes, I feel like escaping from home.What shall I do about it?

Am also used to complain with my brother and sister when chores assigned to them not done. It's because am doing it which is supposed to be them doing it. I scolded them but it doesn't mean that they are not loved. I loved them that i want to discipline them in small things. House hold chores were small things but it can have impact when working outside home. It's all for all our discipline.

Are you the eldest? Younger ones are always nagged and yelled at. Can't they just yell? We hate it. We feel like we're not humans.

Oh I'm sorry to hear about your father. maybe I'll try to be more understanding and loving for my dad since he's already old.

Maybe you need to sit and talk to your dad and tell him face to face how you truly feel when it comes to the housework. Its not right to make a child or a grown child be a slave in the house. Its just not right. You should be responsible for your room, the stuff you dirty in the house such as your dishes and the bathroom, especially at your age. You don't say if you have a job or are going to school but the housework should be split with everyone who lives in the house. It shouldn't be all one you.

I am the only one left at home since all my other siblings are working. I feel so left behind.I don't want to be doing the household chores everyday. It's so tedious.

Hi, Dad is the wonderful guide and philospher in everyones life, whatever he says or does, it is for the welfare of his wards. Why do you give your dad a chance to comment or shout at you?? Try to understand his mind, and perform the tasks before you hear from him. If you make him to shout more, he might not live longer, only than we will realise the importance of dear daddy.

I'm always here in mylot and i can't monitor everytime there's chores to be done.That is why he complains. But he makes me feel that I didn't do anything at all. Is he that oblivious?
