A College Student’s Dilemma: Stepsister’s Chores or Unfair Exploitation? ‍♂️

A 21-year-old college student finds himself in a pickle when his mother assigns his 15-year-old stepsister to clean his room and do his laundry. While he views this as a win-win situation, his girlfriend sees it as exploitation. He’s considering alternatives, such as assigning her different chores or rewarding her for her help. The stepsister, on the other hand, seems content with the arrangement, finding his room easier to clean than the alternative – the garage. Our protagonist is now considering ways to reward her, including cash and outings with friends. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this family drama…

“YTA. College student using networking as an excuse for laziness. “

“YTA. Holy sh*t. Your step sister should not be treated like your damn maid.
Doing dishes/sweeping/vacuuming common areas and her cleaning her own room & doing her own laundry is one thing…but jfc no she should not be going into your room and doing your laundry. You’re a damn adult and should do it yourself”

YTA: Demanding chores from stepsister is sexist and unacceptable.

“YTA. So is your mom.” They’re treating her like Cinderella.

“YTA and so are your parents. Your sister’s chores should be in the common areas of the house and you should definitely be doing your own laundry. This isn’t character building, it’s resentment building. Yeah, whatever. Part of being an adult is managing your time effectively enough that you can fit cleaning and laundry into your schedule. Frankly, I am surprised that you don’t feel like this is an intrusion into your privacy.”

“YTA. Why the hell aren’t you disturbed by your little *sister* (step or not) touching your underwear?! When I was a teen, my dad refused to have me unload the dryer if he forgot to take his stuff out because surprise, surprise he didn’t want his daughter touching his underwear! He didn’t have a hang up on it, he just didn’t think it was right. Teens can have chores but they should be reasonable. For instance, my mom giving me the chore of vacuuming the stairs was reasonable because I was the smallest one and the youngest one (only child). When I got older, I traded that chore for helping my dad mow the lawn in the summers before my parents started paying someone to do it. You comparing painting the house once every few months to your sister cleaning your room and doing your laundry is not compatible!”

YTA – Take responsibility for your chores!

YTA: Exploiting your sister for personal gain? Disgusting!

YTA, your room = your chores.
