I have told my family over and over that they need to help out more. My latest is that I can't help with dishes because I'm afraid I'm going to break something. I'm twitching (due to magnesium, because my med depletes it, and I am taking suppliments for it) and the dishwasher is broken right now. The kitchen is a mess, but they don't want to have broken dishes, right? I tried to get my 10 yo to wash them and she did a horrible job. I remember hand washing dishes at her age and before, but her entitled butt won't help as much as I argue with her about it (she has mild autism too).

This all sucks horribly. And when you think maybe you have it handled a little, the symptoms get worse or just different. Or you have flares.

Right now I can do the laundry, I still cook when I can (my husband can't cook), I can pick up things around the house but it hurts to scrub. We have a garden and I can only do so much. I'm still waiting for my husband to finish pounding in the poles for my beans and cucmbers, but I did get the corn planted last weekend, albeit slowly.

At least my daughter is old enough to do a lot on her own, like get simple food or pick up after herself. She's just a pain and not helping more. I really want a maid!!
