People really don't get why I don't want to be perceived as a parent to my siblings when the siblings in question are 2 and 4 years younger than me. Just because they're disabled and need my help doesn't mean I view them as my children and it's weird that others do. Like I argue with them as I do with my other siblings and give them the same understanding as them. It's fucking weird to keep insisting I'm a parental figure replacement especially because I am stepping up where our actual parent is lacking. This is why I miss our mom.

#there were clear lines of what i did and what she did #i basically gave her a break by making breakfast or lunch but that means she got dinner or something #and laundry was something that i occasionally did it was not something i had to do #but i insisted when we had to handwash bc i knew how much it drained her #i helped her with tasks not expected to do it #she appreciated what i did and at times took advantage at moments where she couldn't and always apologized #that is not what's happening here #with that said I'm grateful I'm with my siblings bc i know if i wasn't they'd be neglected
