So im a 21 years old female, i get apprenticeship wage (dog grooming) 5 days a week which is not much. I clean up in the house, i wash everyones clothes, i cook for everyone when mum says she wont which is often. I HAVE to make everyones breakfast before work ( have to be in work for 8:50am.) I come home to cook my brothers teas and feed the pets take them out and do most things. My mum says i do not do nothing. I dont help with cost for food or anything even tho my half i do mostly spend on my brothers and not me. I give my mum 100 each week and i get 100. My mum says i should be paying her more so i should only get round 50 pound towards myself. Is this right or should i pay her more? I dont go out either and i dont socialise so im asking for advice.

If your apprenticeship is with a small employer you might like to look at a large one and you'll get paid more. Pets at Home maybe have apprenticeships for grooming? Ask at college to see if it can help. If you could earn more you could save to move out.

Then she would have to cope. Your siblings are not your responsibility.

As for your DM you are giving her plenty. You still have to get yourself to work and college and have a life.
