Im the oldest of 4 kids in a household of 7 people with a dog. My parents both work long hours 6 days a week and the other "adult" who is in the apartment is my grandmother who is very old and can hardly do anything. Im 15, my brother is 7, sister is 6, and my youngest sister is 4 months old.I've been extremely stressed out lately having to take care of all my siblings AND grandmother and still be expected to do dinner and chores while having SCHOOL and a husky who needs lots of exorcise.I brought this up to my parents a while ago, explaining to them that i was already 2 weeks behind in some classes for never being able to do the work. My dad who i knew was clearly stressed said the solution should be selling my dog to pay for a babysitter.This of course made me freak out, because i ASKED for the responsibility of a dog. I DIDN'T ask for more siblings. I love them so much and im so grateful for the experience with raising them but i shouldn't have to give up my childhood AND graded for them. Its unfair and im at my wits end. I have no clue what to do. I cant get a job because my grandma can't watch my siblings. I cant stay with another family member while i do school because of the same reason. I can't ask one of my parents to quit their jobs because then we'd be living out of our truck. I just need an answer. Im tired of feeling lost and hopless. via /r/Advice https://ift.tt/2SXsaxs
