Oh this must be the hardest thing for me to do. I would rather just let the tension rise, have a meltdown and throw a tantrum…. lock myself in my room, cry for hours, feel frustrated, BUT NEVER actually say how I feel!!!!

How does one change this?

My sister moved in with me. My father passed away recently and I told my mother to let her stay with me for a while so I can help her get on her feet. She just turned 21. Well after 2 weeks, the vibe in this house is just so tense!!! I also have a 14 year old son, which i have raised alone for the last 5 years. My husband works and stays abroad and only comes home every 3 months. Its tough… sometimes VERY TOUGH!!!!

Im a photographer and right now I have NO TIME for my business and today actually felt like just giving up my dream! I am on the run all day long doing everything expect what I WANT TO DO! It is frustrating and i seldom tell anybody how frustrating it is! I just feel i sacrifice things to help out family members whom at the end of the day I feel takes advantage of my goodness. It infuriates me!!!!! They are both slobs and does the least at home. I have a fairly big house and with the two of them, impossible to keep clean. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats which also needs to be fed, cared for etc…. leaving me with no or little time for me.

This week I am going to delegate chores and be honest with my sister to how it makes me feel when all she does all day is watch TV and play on her phone. That i am trying to help her out and that she needs to do her share.

I am feeling I am giving up MY dream to accommodate their needs. They are old enough to help me …. Going to make chore charts to show clearly what is expected of them both.

lets see how it goes….
