Well as the oldest sibling it's kind of your natural born right to boss around your siblings and tell them that they need to help out your mom and dad. You could even bring it up with your parents that maybe chore assignments would be helpful for them since they work such long hours and when you visit you'd of course help out as well around the house.

You can't motivate them.. they're used to not having to do them..they have to be forced to get into habit of doing it. A chart with their names and then them randomly picking a certain chore out of a box for each week would keep things fresh..just don't let a 7 year old do laundry or the dishes!!! They should sweep and dust...that's what I did until my mom trusted me to wash a dish right.

Your parent's are the ones responsible for teaching the children how to clean and do chores. If they have failed to establish standards and accountability, then you may be able to have some influence. Would Mom and dad be onboard with laying down the law but putting YOU in charge of making it happen? Especially the initial cleaning frenzy that needs to take place? If they are willing to back you up it could work.

You are a very caring person for thinking of your parents. Tell your siblings that all of you can have fun together if your parents didn't have so much work to do. Have a game of it and time each of them.

Take a piss on one of their bed, then tell them you didn't think they would mind

there really isn't much you can do, you can try talking to them about it and how they should care about their living space.

talk to your parents. its their job to enforce house rules.
