One Step Forward...

[mis_creation]

...one, maybe two steps backward.

Yeah, that resolution I had to stick up for myself more? It sort of worked. Sort of didn't.

This morning my sister gets up, eats breakfast, and actually puts away the dishes. I asked her on Sunday if she would just start doing it instead of my or mom having to ask every single time.

So. That was the step forward.

The step backward is that she then ask/told (in that way of asking that you're really telling and all parties involved know it) me to take the trash out of our bathroom.

The bathroom that she spends at least twice as long in on a daily basis. The trash that is largely filled with her used tissues, make-up removers, expired/trashed beauty containers. The same bathroom that she doesn't clean ever.

And I did it. Because I'm an idiot and hate confrontation.

She does something for other people in the house for the first time in probably five days to a week, and she feels that entitles her to ask me to do more. I vacuumed and dusted the entertainment center (also Art Central for my dad's pieces) yesterday in addition to doing the dishes. And I HATE vacuuming.

So, yeah. Tiny bit of progress with the whole getting-my-sister-to-do-her-bit thing, but then right back to where we were again.

*sigh* Oh well.

At least you made a little progress! It sounds frustrating living with someone who feels like she doesn't have to do anything to pitch in. While most people dislike household chores, they have to get done. Maybe your sister will eventually catch on...
