Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : My mom runs a daycare in our house. When they're napping, she opts to sit in the kitchen and read a book instead of the living room. Fine, whatever.

When I get home, I ask if she wants to go downstairs to watch TV (we have a TV in the kitchen but the chairs are wooden, whereas we have comfy couches and a recliner downstairs). She usually says no because she has trouble with the stairs. I've suggested we put a TV in the living room many times over the years and she always says no. She claims we have nowhere to put it but if we rearranged things, we'd have room. Alternatively, we could just mount it to the wall above the piano. We have a spare wall mount that she bought for my sister's room (but my sister didn't want her TV mounted) and I have one in my room so it's not like she has issues with wall mounts.

She usually ends up doing all of the dishes. Most of them are from her daycare anyway. I do most of the cleaning (her bathroom is always absolutely disgusting - she claims it's used the most but it's not). I got her a Roomba for Christmas because every week she put the vacuuming off until Sunday at 10pm and then would yell because she still had to vacuum. Now it vacuums every night at 9pm so she can't say the vacuuming doesn't get done. Other than that, I clean the bathrooms, vacuum the basement, and dust both levels. Also, every night I take the garbage out, and I do all of the laundry (3+ loads/week) because again, stairs. She does also usually cook dinner, but when we order in I pay 50% of the time. I also do *all* of the shoveling and lawn mowing because of her arthritis.

The other night she bitched at me because I never do the dishes. I told her that's because I take out the garbage, do most of the cleaning, and do all of the laundry. Those are my chores. She says she's frustrated because she feels like she never gets out of the kitchen. I pointed out that there are plenty of other rooms in the house that she could spend time in, but she chooses the kitchen with the hard-ass wooden chairs and that's not my problem.

Also keep in mind that I pay rent (she asks for $150, but since she's on my phone plan it makes more sense for me to just pay that and then pay her the difference than for me to pay her $150 and then have her pay me $50 back a few days later), saved her $10/month on her phone bill by adding her to my plan, and pick up stuff all the time on my way home from work (full time) that I never ask for payment for (she used to bitch because my sister asked for payment so I just don't bother).

I know she works hard, but I do too. My job is a desk job, but one mistake can cost clients and my boss several thousand dollars.

So, AITA for not doing the dishes?
