Makes me get his clothes
Makes me clean his room
Makes me get my brothers clothes
Makes me clean the house
Makes me do laundry
Makes me do dishes
Makes me scoop the drive way when he has a plow on his truck
Makes me cry 24/7
Makes me lose friends
Hates to hear about drama
Makes me pick up his messes when he can

You're maybe 10 or 11?

Haha... sounds like my dad.

Are you the oldest?

Sometimes parents put a lot of responsibility on you because they want you to be able to do things later in life. They expect a lot from you because they know you can handle it.
The good news is that it doesn't last forever, one day you'll be off to college, or moving out, and you can do whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it. And you know what, it sounds really crazy, but you'll be happy that your dad taught you to be so prepared for the real world.

If it really bothers you that much talk to him about it, only he can tell you why he expects so much from you. Sometimes parents go a little overboard with chores and responsibility.

Why do our kids
Get their clothes dirty so we have to wash them
Mess up their rooms so we have to scold them to get them to clean up
Gripe and complain when we ask them to do something simple like vacuum
Refuse to do something as simple as put dishes into the dishwasher
Groan when they have to help shovel snow off the porch and steps
Make us cry 24/7
Make our friends gloat to us about their perfect children
Hate to live without drama
Refuse to introduce their friends to us
Refuse to even walk next to us at the mall
Insist on wearing clothes that we wouldn't wear to a dog fight
