REALLY NEED TO VENT

So I been living with my brother n his wife for about a month n a half. I'm 22 wks prego... I knew my sister n aw was lazy having 5 of my nieces she does not see the need to keep a clean house, cook normal meals, budget or even pay bills on time. She sleeps till noon. I get bak up in the am and feel responsible to feed my nieces cuz she does not get up! I have to cook dinner also, my brother is a hard working man and still attending college. I try to do what I can for him not for her. I clean all my nieces messes, dishes, counters stove etc. I ask .tp use the vehicle once and she takes the keys purposely so I'm not able to and does not give them to my brother either. Am I missing something here? I babysit at NO charge just so she can get out the house. What so I do? I'm so done with this crap.

I got plans on talking to him. I do ask. The older ones to help out show them how to cook with me, how to be responsible.  And help put around the house. Its just soo stressful. Idk how someone can live the way she does. Its sad. For herself my nieces and my brother. Some days it seems like a there's an obstacle course just to get from one room to the other. I almost fell over stuff about 3 times in the last week bruised my legs up from trying to get out the door. Its terrible. Thanks for the advice also. It helps having people to talk to.

I would tell your bro, bc she seems like an unfit mom. Good thing your nieces have you to care for them and they will idolize you for it. Depending how old your nieces are maybe you should teach them to clean up after their selves and mayb help out with certain house chores. You are a guest not a maid. Maybe talk to your bro about an arrangement bc seems like u got your hands full girl. But ya it's better to stay with fam than hm shelter. I say talk to ur bro

Move out it sounds like she isn't on board with having you there not to sound rude but that could be her way of avoiding you or trying to make you want to move out.
