Constantly undermining behaviour

So 18 years and two children, trying to keep the home stable and I'm increasingly finding the situation impossible.

I have a partner who has never paid a single bill and has head in the sand that the bills are unmanageable now.

I have a teen and a child that when asked to do something to help like recycling cardboard - partner makes excuses for them

My partner has never bought a car, relying on me to buy one until I refused as last one blown up by lack of weekly checks. Their parents gave them a free car.

What really grinds my gears was the fact that I stay at home and clean the house while they Galavant at weekends, yet I go out and constantly criticism- yet I offer time to do family things and it's not good enough.

I'm not eligible for benefits and have muscular skeletal on going issues and spinal issues in a self employed job.

I get the feeling I'm being taken advantage of when they are happy to offer child care to a friend so they can work- but won't get work and contribute to household.
Partner works part time, but has never regularly contributed to bills..

I thought equality was even sharing of responsibility, I'm feeling that I'm being used and abused.

Something has to give.
