Maid to Order? I think not!

AM.

NOT.

MAID.

Yet, my boyfriend, his kids and my kids seem to believe I am. Time after time I am the one cleaning up the messes, cooking breakfasts/lunches/dinners, doing the laundry, doing the "handywork" around this house. I don't ever get a break, a night off, and weekends for me are hell...everyone is home all day/night long..which creates even more mess. (that I wind up cleaning up). I clean up the yard, I pull weeds, I weedeat and I mow.

None of these chores are out of the realm of my capability...however, as I am not the only person living in this house capable of doing it - I take offense because I AM the only one doing it.

I need some help...and my family needs some help because they are all about to perish from the redhot laser coming out of my eyeballs....

As long as you keep doing everything, they'll let you keep doing everything. If you fuss at them to help out more it will just make them more reluctant to do chores that are no fun to do anyway. Take a step back and don't do as much... when they ask why their laundry isn't washed or every meal isn't cooked, show them how to do it themselves. You're right about not being a maid, the only person making you into one is yourself :) Good Luck!

Oh, whine, whine, whine. (ducking)

Nicole is right - back off and let them take more of it over. Warning - it won't be pretty at first, be prepared to wash a few loads of your own clothes by themselves and use paper plates until they figure out the new program.
