So I’m fed up with being taken for granted, a little back history just so you understand.

im 59, retired with retired DH and a 24yr DD returned home (very welcome)

i have mobility issues and poor health so the chores round the house are split in a strange way to some degree

me - all food shopping (on line ) cooking and clearing kitchen / dusting / bathrooms/ laundry

DH - hoovering/bins/fetch carry as I need/garden

DD - fetch carry as I need / strips and changes beds weekly/ dusts places I can’t reach/ mops floors

over Christmas only basic chores have been done, but loads of cooking 🙄.

i got pissed last night when I mentioned the bins needed doing , he moaned and left it. Before going to bed I noticed they hadn’t been done, bins go today so I did it ( I can but struggle )

I had asked my DD to clean the floor, she hadn’t 🤷🏼‍♀️ I left it and went to bed.

this morning I got greeted with moans because I hadn’t unloaded the tumble dryer and his tshirt he wanted was in there, so I snapped, I’m having a lazy on my bed reading day ( bored stiff Tbh😂)

DD just came in - kitchen a mess/what’s for lunch/her uniform needs washing for tomorrow - I told her she’s an adult now - uniform in dryer/on airer

could here lots of chatter in the kitchen - they couldn’t figure out how to switch on the dishwasher or washing machine. The fridge is pre shopping day but still loads of Christmas stuff - cheese 😂 put were lost for lunch

am I being unreasonable leaving them to it, no I’m not, they are adults I’ve tried to show them how to use the new appliances they didn’t want to know. I can hear DH trying to switch the air fryer on, he’s given up with the oven.

I suppose it shows I am needed in some ways

You're being unreasonable for enabling them to be this way! They are taking the piss out of you.
