Think it's stupid of me to think like this?

So I don't like to cook, cuz I don't enjoy cleaning it up. Its far easier to throw something frozen into a microwave then to cook it in the oven, and there is no clean up involved... so I don't make messes in my kitchen. I clean up my messes as I go along.

My brother likes to cook and most of the time he doesn't clean up after himself and leaves pans and sauces and crap all over the place... I clean up MY messes that's what I do, and when dishes pile up NONE of them are mine. So it pisses me off when my mom starts yelling at us for the kitchen to get cleaned up.

I go whatever and all be like we'll do it after school. When I come home I realise that the mess I am helping to clean up is all my brothers... so why am I helping him??? Why do I have to clean up half of his mess??? It's just not freakin fair!

When I told him this last night we got into a sibling squabble about it. He walked away leaving the kitchen dirty... I still finished washing the dishes and unloaded and loaded part of the dishwasher. I left the rest for him to do.

My mom comes home and starts yelling cuz its still isn't done, and I say I did half and left the other half for bron to do. Then he reignites the fight WE had earlier! Even tho it was over with! During this family fight my friends just sitting on the couch staring at us argue. I ended up helping my brother finish the other half just to make them shut-up, and so I cleaned up 3/4's of his mess...

God I am sick of my family!
 
1-Try really hard NOT to argue with family in front of your friends. This will make them feel really uneasy, and like maybe its a "bad time" for them to be there.

2-The mess may not be yours...maybe you should sit and talk to your mom in private and tell her that you never cook and use the pots and pans, and that you think that your brother should be responsible for cleaning those thigns, and that you can do another chore. Don't try to get out of helping altogether because that probably won't work. Think of all the times your mom has cleaned up after you....and don't say she hasn't because she used to wipe your ass, literally! Parents have a lot on their plates, working to provide for their kids...kids really don't do much for their paretnts..the least you could do to contribute is to help around the house.

Be glad you have a family, first off


Second, life isn't fair, you'll learn more about this as you grow older


Third, a family is a community and everyone is expected to help out, regardless if its your mess or not. I mean, if a person makes a mess, they are expected to clean it up, BUT if there are some special circumstances where they ask you to clean a mess up that isn't yours, its best if you just do it anyways.
