what do your mom and brother do?

My Mom usually cooks for him like a baby. My brother cannot cook and is in the middle of taking the bar exam. My Mom left with my brother to help him during the bar exam and stay at a hotel, so I'm alone with the baby for 3 days.

I told him he could prepare himself some pasta for all I cared and he started whining and saying I was depriving him and now he's treating me like shit, glaring at me, sulking.

Sounds like my father.

Maybe offer a trade? I know my dad can't cook, but he'll do other things like mow the lawn. Or he'll do the groceries or something else.

He never does anything besides go to work and sit his ass on the couch and watch TV. All day, every day. I do the same amount of work he does and then I have to come home and serve him.

If you're living at home rent-free then it might be an issue.

As unfair as it is, if your dad can play the "you're living under my roof for free" card then you can't exactly order him to do anything.

At best, in this situation, you can ignore him -- remind him that you work just as much as he does, have had a long day, and are tired and that he's a grown man who can take care of himself.

If you can't actually say that to him, then try to ignore -- keep occupied maybe.

You're working? Full-time? Time to move out, BB.

Tbh if you're living at your parents' home, as an adult, and assuming they don't have you pay rent... I think it should be expected that you make an extra effort to help with the cooking and cleaning. I'm not saying your dad is being reasonable, but I can sympathize and even agree with parents who expect their adult children to do extra around the house.

(especially assuming the adult in question is post college age and not a student of any sort, and is working a full time job)

I'm working full-time and attending law school at night.

...so you shouldn't be expected to help out around a rent-free house?

What about "I cooked for several hours each day", including all of the cleaning up involved, doesn't sound like helping out to you?

What did "I'm not saying your dad is being reasonable" sound like to you?

I was commenting on the general expectation of people helping out around the house, not saying your dad should never have to cook for himself because you're around.

Okay, I misunderstood. It's just a lot of work and when I'm doing school and doing full-time work I think it's ridiculous that I also have to put food I prepared on a plate for him and put it in the microwave.

I completely agree and sorry if I came across like a dick. I was commenting on something that maybe was out of place in this topic, mostly inspired by several twenty-something-year-old acquaintances who live at home and throw tantrums whenever their parents ask them to maybe do the laundry or something. I don't think it's unreasonable if your parents ask you to prepare meals every once in again if you have the time, but waiting on your dad is something else completely.

OP is not your relative, and if you'd taken off your personal blinders for a second to actually pay attention to what they were saying, you'd have seen that their Dad is essentially treating them like the help. Not cool.

I'm not sure why you're reminding me that OP is not my relative? Thanks? And my point stands, adults who live at home should be expected to help out around the house. And also her dad is being unreasonable. Just like I originally said.

You were acting like a dick to the OP.

meh if you're offended by the suggestion that adults ought to help out around their parents' house and decide to take it personally, then I don't know what to tell you

lol okay, now you're clearly just here to get a rise out of people

goodbye

Her dad is also a dick.

Being a parent isn't a free pass to act like a child.

hehehe, as we gonna reach adulthood.... stuffs and things

also, those immature whiner. not against op, but really? other people....

Oh so you're another one of those commenters who has to project your dissatisfaction with personal acquaintances onto strangers on the internet

Guessing by the ultra defensiveness of random anons, I assume there's lots of people living at home who hate helping out lmao

Or there's a difference between "helping out" and "being the literal maid so everyone else can fuck off."

Don't be an ass.

Cooking meals is helping. Preparing meals ahead of time that can be easily warmed up is helping. You do not have to wait hand and foot on an able-bodied person who can't be arsed to ladle food into a bowl by themselves in order for all that helping to count.
