my parents are literally never home every day I have to take care of my 7 siblings and I'm only 14 I've done this every day since I was nine yrs old and every time I complain they tell me women are supposed to take care of kids so pls is this fair?
Nah it's not fair and men are entitled to taking care of kids just as much as women are. I don't really know where you live and it's not exactly safe to say it on internet so, please talk about it to an adult you trust.
Absolutely not. They may be your siblings but your parents shouldn't be pushing all the responsiblity of raising them practically on your own. Since they had kids, they should be taking responsibility for them and caring for them. You yourself are just a child, you shouldnt have to bear that burden.
I'm literally having the same situation my parents always go out to drink..not fair at all, they complain about how I cant focus of my school when they literally go out almost everyday with their friends and they leave me with six children and they expect me to do my homework and take care of six children at the same time? who am I superman???
Man that's exhaustinggg. I'm an older sister to three of my brothers and I already find it exhausting. They shouldn't have had kids that many if they can't take care of them. And that is NOT fair. Since one of the duties of a parent is to look after their kids. If your parents won't even try to help you and is stereotyping, try talking to your siblings so you all could help each other. Younger kids can understand easier when you explain the situation clearly (based from my experience). Help each other if your parents wont. I wish I could physically help you but were thousand kilometers apart, ig.
Try saying something like "Do you guys notice that mom and dad aren't always home? And that I have to do everything? I am starting to get exhausted and i would love some help from you all." Try throwing some compliments. Kids will listen if you ask nicely (but if they're spoiled brats — which I hope they aren't — they listen pretty well) if they're kids like 2 and above you could ask them to pick up trashes or get the broom or stay in their chairs and stay quiet. I hope this helps coz that will be pretty exhausting. Also try talking with your parents (from time to time. Don't stop until they understand. Try not shouting or lashing out since I think they're likely not listen if you try to approach them like that.
Maybe talk to a school counselor or teacher you trust. Of course there is always a chance they won’t do anything but please try. This could affect your mental health and grades.

No, this is not fair. Helping out your family is fine, but it is not your responsibility to looks after the kids
Tell them to take care of yo own kids. U literally a child yourself

Woah, that is def not fair! If you have more family around you that you trust, you should tell them.
