Would it kill someone else in my family to be the mediator between everyone? seriously.

I usually won't post 3 times a day, but i really want to rant right now.

First my sister bitches at me for not helping make dinner. She thinks she's  the only one who does anything here. She's away more than half the year, I'm the one doing everything! She complains that she's the one who has to help mummy around the house, BUT she forgets that half the year I'm the one who has to calm mom and dad down after they fight. I'm the one whose stuck inbetween while they yell, but still the one who has to be happy. I'm the one who does all the chores and cook dinner, I'm the one that gets blamed if anything goes wrong.

But somehow, the one night I have a friggin' headache and just want to curl up in my bed and read, I'm the one who doesn't do anything! Damnit!

Then after a dinner spent mediating between my fueding bro and sis and trying to keep my mom and dad laughing so they don't fight, we clean up. I leave the room to go to the bathroom, come back to find dad pissed off watching TV, my bro and sis not doing anything while my mom rants and raves and curses my dad.

Somehow it ends up with her (my mom) needing to get out of the house, so she decides to go see a movie. Of course someone needs to go with her so she doesn't get too angry. Who goes? why, me of course! (on a side note, we saw the Nativity, which was pretty good)

I spend the whole car ride there listening to my mom complain about my dad. Its a situation so familiar I know all her compliants by heart, just as I know my dads complaints about my mom. I'm sick of it.

A few years ago I used cry when they fought. I don't bother to anymore.

We get back home after a relaxing time during which I'd calmed mom down and even gotten her into a good mood.I go into my room and within five minutes hear my mom and sis yelling at eachother.

Its a pattern. One we've been in for years. And it shouldn't piss me off anymore. But it does.

My sis will get mom mad, she'll fight with daddy, my bro will sit there ignoring everything but secretly angry and my sis and in turn they fight.

And I pick up the pieces.
