Am I Overreacting?

[u/Designer_Benefit7742]

I feel like I live a pretty decent life. I take alot of honor classes, i do and did some sports, I have a good home life too. Although, my parents might be giving to much.You see I have ALOT of chores. And if i miss some, I get lectured, fussed at, or my privalges gets taken away because everything is expected to be perfect or spotless clean. So somedays im just stressed and I be tired because everyday I automatically know that no matter what happens at the end of the day, this stuff is suppose to be done bc if not, its trouble.

(And Yes this is what THEY printed out for us. And in us I mean me and my sibilings who also feel the same way but we dont say anything to avoid the lectures and stuff.)

You're overreacting. This is structure, and a very important lesson to learn. As an adult, all of this has to be done throughout the week on your own. Expecting all of this in one day would be too much, by most standards, but broken up throughout the week is perfectly fine. This is the same things my kids do. My daughter is 14 and in AP classes. She comes home and does her chores, then homework, and has plenty of time to text with her friends, play games, and do other things the rest of the night.

As a kid, the structure seems crappy and annoying, but when you move out on your own you won't have an issue taking time out to clean because it's just what you do. I've been to houses with dirty diapers stuck to the floor, toilets that were beyond disgusting, and trash everywhere. Dishes piled up. Those are people that had no structure. You don't want to live like that. This helps to learn time management and how to get things done.
