Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I'm an adolescent who's in grade 12 with a half-day all-day schedule. To help my education and just the family in general my parents decided to start a medical laboratory years ago; additionally its to help me&amp; my sister get employed in the future as we'll continue it when get older. Currently they (mostly my mom) ask me to help in the place. Nothing too serious, just listing results down by the day and errand running. Whenever I have free time (Saturdays and school breaks) they ask me to work there.

Small tangent, but my working conditions there aren't the best though I pull through. Aircon can be a real bitch with the cold, all the tables are used almost all the time, &amp; when they aren't I don't have enough time left to finish a substantial amount of work, and my allergies work up hard. ah well.

My mom got angry with me as I don't work there when possible, mainly because I have no incentive to do so. Back when I did i either got paid a decent amount, and the last time I worked I did so for a Nintendo Switch.  When I ask for potential pay nowadays she passively snarks and such. Now she says I "only ask and never give" or something similar to that.

What about it? ATIA for not wanting to work due to lack of compensation, or am I being too demanding &amp; finicky?
