I... my parents left my brother and I home for almost the whole day, I was expected to do all sorts of chores well homeschooling my brother and myself. I felt really alone.
I did all the chores, managing to focus on them, and I’ve given up art and internet (except here of course) for a bit to gain their approval.
And guess what? My parents finally come home and the first thing they do is say “ok thanks” for obeying all the commands they gave me. Then they completely ignore me for the rest of the day. I worked hard. I find it funny though-
Mom and dad after leaving us for almost a full day to come back to us and also after having us do a lot of chores: k thx *continues to ignore us*
Mom and Dad after I leave even just a sock on the floor: oh my gosh you’re such an embarrassment you’re disgusting oh just-
No- I’m sobbing right now. I’m tired. I’m worn down. I’m pressured. I feel pressure always. I put pressure on myself almost rivaling what they put on me.
If I do something right- barley acknowledgement
If I do something wrong- often days of punishment
