Daughter home from uni

Dd is 20 and at university. She comes home for holidays so has been home last few weeks. She doesn't do any housework, I cook, clean , do washing etc. I will however occasionally ask her to watch her brother (7) while I do a job or walk dog. Or if I'm going out I might ask her to let dog out if needed. So this week she had ds for 45min on Monday and weds while I walked dog and today for 90 min while I worked. They usually lay switch. She said yesterday She's my unpaid skivvy. But given she does no housework or cooking am I asking too much?

I hear you OP.

I cook but that's it, ds is responsible for his washing/ ironing .

At least he's working <sigh>

Thanks everyone. I don't mind laundry/cooking as it's just one extra person and she wouldn't bother eating if I didn't do it. She works at McDonald's at uni but she decided not to transfer this summer as she is doing three weeks of house sitting in a couple of weeks for neighbours. I didn't think babysitting was unreasonable. I just resent the sense of entitlement. Elder Dd definitely did more at her age.
