What's with the parents that make their firstborn became their substitute?
Just because we're older doesn't mean we should be raising your kids. We wanted to be kids too, you know?

I literally felt like a mom and still do but I didn't mind because my mom wasn't there so my father was always at work so I had to take care of my two sisters
Learned how to cook and clean when I was young
The thing now is that my sisters are 19 and 20 and they still can't do shit
I still cook and clean

@SW-User I had to take the role of a mum as a kid (when I was around 7-8) because she couldn't do anything (depression? too early to remember) and a few years later I realized that as long as I show them I can do something (cook, clean etc.) I'll be the only one doing it. I was taking care of them on and off for years and the "best" solution I've got so far is to have them around when I'm working and teach them how to do stuff and take turns but it's so exhausting since I'm still doing most of it.
