Exhausted Teen Finally Tells Her Parents Enough Is Enough - She Pays Rent, Does All Household Chores, Works And Goes To School

by Lakeisha

One frustrated teenager on Reddit, exhaustedteen19, took the AITA subreddit to ask whether it was wrong of her to ask her parents to wash the dishes. According to her post, she is a 19-year-old college student with a very busy schedule.

From Monday to Friday, which are school days, she wakes up at 4:45 AM and wouldn't get home until 6:45 PM. Despite her busy school schedule, her parents expect her to cook dinner four times a week and do all the household chores, such as vacuuming, dishwashing, and walking the dogs.

exhaustedteen19 said she comes home drained daily and wants to get some sleep but can't because her parents often berate her to do the chores before going to sleep. While weekends would have been a good time for her to get quality rest, there are often social events she needs to attend.

The situation has gotten so tiring that the exhaustedteen19 has finally reached her limit. Recently, after coming home from an exhausting day in school, her parents asked her to do the dishes.

However, exhaustedteen19 said she told them, "if you don't like the mess, you can clean it yourself." Her parents weren't exactly pleased with her response.

According to exhaustedteen19, when her parents get home, all they do is watch TV or use their computers. She also said she's paying rent.

Taking to the AITA subreddit, the exhaustedteen19 asked whether she was wrong for lashing out at her parents. Here's how people responded.

What Do You Think?

Household chores are a necessary part of everyday life. However, nobody likes getting home after a long day to meet a house filled with mess that needs to be cleaned up.

According to researchers, unequal distribution of housework is one of the top stressors in many homes.

Chores are shared responsibilities, and dividing them fairly and equitably to each person is essential to ensure a happy family.
