Has any of you ever felt like this about your mum?
So erm, does anyone else here feel that they have to earn their mum's affection by doing chores? Especially in a family dynamic where your sibling is a brother? For context, my brother could do a basic thing around the house and get praised for it. Meanwhile, if I take initiative and get something done, my mom won't say much about it (praising is out of the question) and when I point it out, she'll say something like 'what you did is no big deal, it's your house too, you are expected to/ it is your duty to do this, it's not like you did me any favour by doing this chore'. Meanwhile, if I miss doing a chore for a day, she'll be like 'wish you loved me enough to do these things on your own without me asking you to do it'. It just feels like no matter what or how much I do, it would never be good enough to satisfy her? Ik I should be greatful to my mom for everything that she has done for me and I really am, but I don't see her coming down so hard on my brother for not doing stuff around the house, (and I know he is her favorite child like I was my dad's favorite when he was alive), but am I a bad daughter to resent her a bit for this?
