This is very random but just something I was thinking about. I’m not even sure if what I wrote makes sense.😂😂

Anyway I find it weird how you get older year by year. Like I just turned 16 on Thursday yet I don’t feel any older. I still like the silly cartoon shows my sister watches. I still want to play like I’m 11. We don’t feel older yet we have this whole new list of responsibilities that we have to uphold. It’s like oh you’re officially 16 great! Time to watch your siblings, get a job, get your permit, do school, interact with family, do chores. It’s like they want to push the child side of you away by just piling responsibility after responsibility. Sometimes I’ll have so much homework and just a generally busy day that I don’t even get a chance to talk with my siblings or parents. Then my parents will say things like the house was suppose to be cleaned. Do your chores then do your homework. You aren’t like most teenagers you have more responsibilities. Yeah I know I’m the oldest and I know that the house is suppose to be cleaned. Like over the summer my Dad would most days work until 2:00 and my Mom would get home shortly after him. Now they would be up at 4am so they expect the house cleaned when they get home. Let me tell you that there is over 50 days in my summer vacation. I have three younger siblings two sisters ages 5,13 and a brother who’s 8. My parents would wake me up at 5:30 in the morning. I’d get some coffee and or fall asleep on the couch(lol). Then around 9:30-10:00 Im up eating then cleaning. I let my siblings wake up naturally and most of the time my sister who’s 13 complains because I let her sleep. Out of all those days of summer vacation only four times was that house not cleaned by the time my parents were home. I had to go through multiple snarky comments from my sister. Her saying things she thinks I can’t hear. Her texting our Mom because I’m cleaning instead of playing a board game. My brother calling me lazy because I won’t play video games(😞😮) with him. They complain that I won’t play with them because I’m cleaning the entire house. While they are sitting on the couch and or on phones and iPods. It’s crazy because that entire summer I installed that if I didn’t get the house cleaned then we couldn’t go anywhere when our parents were done with work. If they came home to a messy kitchen then they had an attitude. If I didn’t complete something my Dad wanted done then I hear the words “I am dissapointed”. There is so much responsibility put on people that they have no time to be a kid before they become an adult. I know it’s weird but it was just a random thought I had.
