Do you think this is unfair? What can I do?
So I'm nearly 18 and still at home, I work nearly everyday and I'm working two jobs. My older sister (19) doesn't have a job, she does nothing at all all day. My mum is getting money from the government Nd occasionally works (every second weekend) so it's tight with money. I seem to be the only one who does anything and all I get is **** about it. I have two duckling I bought them and I look after them and of course while I'm at work I can't so my mum and sister do. They just give me **** because I'm not there everyday all day. I really don't know what they expect me to do. Also because I'm turning 18 mum wants me to start paying rent. My sister does ($100/week) however she started off laying $50 a week for the first 6 months of her being 18. My mum wants me to start paying $100 a week straight up when I'll be starting full time uni. I really don't know what she expects. What am supposed to do? They get annoyed about me working and then they want money from me? I have been thinking about this and I just don't think it's fair, what do I do?

How is it unfair? Do you think a LL charging you for rent and not giving you a break is unfair? Grow up.
Your sister doesn't work and since its your MOMS house she can decide how much to charge. If you dont like that then move out then whine at your LL how unfair it is about how much they charge. you wont last a month in the real world with that attitude.

She probably decided not to cut you a break on rent because you have an income and expect her to look after your pets all day. This doesn't sound unfair to me, you are in a better financial situation than your sister and can afford to pull your weight. But that $400 a month can probably get you in to an apartment with some roommates, you can always leave if you don't like her terms.

i think you should move out. this sounds like a complicated family situation, and the best thing you can do right now is just move out. you are an adult now, and don't need your mother's consent for any decisions you make from here on out. i suggest maybe rent out an apartment with your college roommate or another friend that you can get along with long enough to get things sorted out with your family.

Usually the most responsible ends up carrying more weight because the other nasty "family" members are lazy AF.
They are super lazy and useless, so if you appear willing they'll try to defer all the work that they don't want to do on you.
just leave they asse$.

The only person you can control is yourself.
You should move out. Get a roommate or two and live at your own place. That's really your only other option if you don't like the rules your mom is laying down.

it does seem unfair, maybe you should move out so you dont have to deal with your mom at all
