With being the only one

I'm locked down with DH and DD18.

DD is in her room binge watching Netflix (she's not doing her A'Level exams so no school work)
For the first 6 weeks, DH was working from home but since then, he has been furloughed.
Nothing seems to have changed, he is still shut away on the computer doing hobby based research (think family tree type exercise).

No issues with this as far as it goes but AIBU to be completely f'd off that I'm the only one who

Makes the bed
Does the washing and ironing
Plans and makes meals - if I ask what they fancy, it's don't mimd whatever you fancy.
Fills/Empties the dishwasher - big things thrown in as quickly as possible to take up as much space as possible so that only half of items fit, rest left on the side.
Sweeps the floor
Empties the bin - if they do it they don't put a new liner in
Does the planning for and does the shopping
Cleans the bathroom
Changes the bed sheets
Etc

If I ask for things to be done they're completed in a half baked manner or it's, "yes in a minute" but then 3 hours later they're still not done and I'm nagging if I remind them.
Honestly, I really think that I'd move in with my eldest DD, if it wasn't for the fact that DH is shielding due to asthma so I'm the one who goes the shopping as well as supporting my own DPs.

Sorry, rant over I just needed to get it of my chest.

Tell them you are upset, not the internet. The only possible result will be strangers clapping for you and you still have to make the bed.

It’s just a shame she hasn't twigged that I'm narked at her too.

Seriously OP? Are you a grown up or not?

Stop the passive aggressive poor me act. Tell them you’re not their housemaid!

I cannot believe anyone would put up with this. Stop being a doormat and tell them RIGHT NOW that you’re not going to carry on in this way.

There is a saying "The more you do, the more they let you do". So just stop, do for yourself and see what happens. Don't feel any guilt about it either. They seem happy in their own little world, so retreat to your happy place. Good luck.
