Middle child sister puts her foot down on cooking and cleaning for her family, she leaves them to do their own chores, only for them to turn on her: “I just stopped going home”

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We're all familiar with sibling stereotypes. The older child always has the most pressure, responsibilities, and consequences. The oldest gets the brunt of the parent's experiments in parenting, and if someone is going to have to do chores or errands, it's probably going to be the eldest. The baby of the family is well….the baby. The youngest always get their way, they get all the attention, and they never get punished for their actions. The parents usually treat them with more lax parenting because they're probably tired of the gig by now. This leaves us with the middle child. Middle children are interesting. They're usually the one that everyone forgets about, they don't get everything they want, and they don't get harsh consequences either. They're kind of just there, and neglect is often the garb they wear throughout their life.

In the story below, the protagonist is a middle child. She plays the role of mom after her actual mom passed away, but can't seem to get any help or recognition for it. After too many times not being appreciated, she decides she's done taking care of her selfish family once and for all.

It's absolutely in her right to not want to do everything for her family. It's shocking that they're this dependent on her anyway, and no one should have to care for their siblings, father, and cousin the way she is. It's not just the cooking and cleaning, she's not even shown appreciation for all of her hard work.
