No I am not really a mom, but it feels like it. My family isn’t in a very good place right now. My parents are getting divorced, my dad is struggling to get his business up and going, so I’m left watching my little siblings all the time. It’s basically all I do. I have had to turn down so many fun stuff because my dad says I need to help watch them so he can work. And I get that, but some of my siblings are old enough to help out too, but they don’t. They fight all the time instead. So I cook, clean, and have to watch little kids. When I try to tell my dad how I feel, he gives me the guilt trip of “if I don’t work you won’t have a house” “we won’t have food” “we can’t pay rent” but this has been going on for years! I already feel like a mom, and I just want my childhood back, because someday I won’t be a teenager anymore and I will actually have big responsibilities and children of my own to watch. I don’t want to be a mom my whole life! I want to go out and travel, explore, make new friends, and conquer my hopes and dreams, but i can’t if I have to watch a three year old all the time. I just want my freedom and old life back

You went through a lot right now. I really admire your courage, now that you have a responsibilities, you're truly amazing. I'm so sorry you can't do anything you want since you carry a heavy things in life... Such as your siblings.
But not all things are too late! Just divide your time between your house chores, your siblings, and yourself! That way it would be easy for you. I mean in my own opinion... I know it could be too exhausting to take care your family and yourself too.
If you wanna make friends? We could try? I'm free and I'm always be here... You know that not everything is too late to try out. 😊
ReplyThank you! I would love to be friends, that would really help
ReplyAw... You're welcome! Glad I could help! 😊 I mean, if you wanna talk? I'm always happy to be here to talk to you. Feel free to talk whatever you want! Snapchat? Facebook? Instagram? Or you can email me if you want... (Or probably just here, Lol.) But hey, 😊 I'm so happy to be your friend. It makes me so excited about it😅
ReplyYour dad is putting too much onto you at your age. You are a remarkable person to be doing this at your age. Don't worry because one day you will leave home and be able to do all of the things that you want. For now tell him that this is a burden for you and ask him if he can get in a housekeeper when he has his business up and running.
