I support my family financially. I have a husband that is too depressed to work, an adult son who is disabled. And a soon to be adult daughter who is supposed to be finishing high school. I make $28K/year. 3/4 of my paycheck goes to housing. The rest keeps the lights and utilities on. The deal that was made was that my husband would make the evening meal and the kids would keep the house picked up and do the dishes. For the past month, I have been the only one holding up my end of the bargain. Resentment begun to seep in. But today it came to a head. I am sick. Doc says pneumonia and I am supposed to be taking it easy. I look around and see all the things that have piled up because no one felt like taking care of them. I am seriously pissed. It's not like I can just move out. They are my responsibility but I can't do it all myself either.
I already refuse to do their laundry, cook for them, clean their bathroom, stuff like that.
One thing I can do is switch to paper plates to cut down on dishes even though it's worse for the environment.
Any other suggestions?
