So tired...

I've only been working at Tim Horton's full-time since February 5th, and I am drained.
I never though that I'd be so tired when I got home from work. To have to face a messy house when you get home and loads of laundry to do... oh my gosh I wanna cry. All I want to do when I get home is go to bed, but I cant. My sister complained to me the other day that I'm slacking on what I do around the house. She basically told me that I either need to start cleaning more or pay her rent. I want to do neither at this point.
She doesn't clean the house the slightest bit. She's the one that leaves the dishes on the livingroom floor for the dog to lick out and cats to sniff. Things here get pretty damn disgusting if I don't take care of it immediately. It sucks. I get so tired of doing her laundry, dishes, cleaning her livingroom and kitchen... and to add on nearly 40 hours of work outside the house... ugh.
Anyone know what I mean? lol. I know I'm not the only one.

It sounds like you are living in a bad home situation.Will the new job allow you to change your living arrangements?Would paying rent to your sister really make a difference or will the expectations still be high?And your stress level must be VERY high.All of this happening HAS to be playing on your blood pressure and your over all health.
Alot of questions for you I admit.But it may do you some good to decide what you need now to live a happier life.Sounds alot like the anger and frustration levels are WAY high and you need to do something to regain control of your life before you crash.
Good luck with this and remember that your health is your #1 priority.

Living arrangements arent going to be changed for a while. Tim hortons is only down the street and Paying rent would still mean I have to do a boatload of housework. I am really stressed and she doesnt see it. I wanna move out and get my own place, but if for some reason It didnt work for me at Tim Hortons after a while, I'd be stuck. Once I leave my sister's house I cant come back to stay.
I'm not quite sure what to do at the moment besides the work she wants me to do, and im just so tired.

Well,it is 3 weeks later and I am hoping you and your sister have come to some type of agreement.This to me would mean you two talked about your feelings and hers.I also hope the new job is working out for you and that you are feeling better about things.

The only agreement we've come to is staying out of eachother's way right now...

You have to stand up for yourself and tell your sister if you do things around the house then she should too. Its only fair its not a two way street. But whatever you do dont argue with her, two wrongs dont make a rght. Sit down with her when you both are in good mood and talk it over. Best of luck to you and your sister.

We're raaarely in good moods towards each other anymore. We cant go five minutes really without arguing about anything or getting an attitude from her.

I have no idea that you have Tim Hortons there in the US LOL I don't always go to the one here in my town so I guess I'm not updated news wise. Anyway Yes I know what you mean. I guess by living free of rent, your sister thinks you should do more work. How much is your rent and utility bills anyway I mean your part. Why don't you use Tim Horton's hourly rate to calculate how long you will do the housework? It sounds funny I know, but try that. Say you have to pay $ 1000/ month in rent and utility and you got paid $ 10/hr at Tim's, you then will do house work 100 hrs a month and your sister has to consider that as payment. if she can't then it's time to fled :) joking
