How to clean and keep it cleaned? Please read details...?

I'm 13. 14 in Sep. I am the sturdy person in this family. My mom works late so she's tired when she comes home and my dad recently hurt his back so when he comes home he goes into his room and rests. I understand that they can't really help because of their situation, and my little brother being only 10 can't REALLY help. I do the dishes everyday, and the laundry, sweep, mop, clean my room, and do mostly general cleaning. But school starts tomorrow so I'm going to start not being able to keep up with all of the household chores.

The general question is: How do I keep up with cooking and cleaning but maintain good grades?

My dad always lectures my abot my grades even though I have A's and B's so I want to get all A's this year. But keeping up with everything at only 13 can get very hard.

Thanks. ♥

    You are taking on way too many responsibilities for your age, even if your mom works late and your dad has a problem with his back. Your brother, age 10, can definitely do dishes, sweep and mop and help with general cleaning, but both of you should NOT be responsible for all of these chores. Your schoolwork should come first and you need time to yourselves and with friends.
