All the time. Right now I'm going though a mini guilt trip since I never actually do anything or help around the house. The only reasons it doesn't look like I'm doing anything is working on other things I need to get done (generally for school), not knowing if my parents actually need any help in the first place, and deciding to do something just after someone has already started it.
I've been meaning to do my own laundry again for weeks, but my mom has taken that responsibility again without even telling me, and thinks that I've gotten too busy at school/lazy at home to actually do it, which is totally not the case. It's just whenever I want to do it, all my clothes are clean in the first place. And I always want to do the dishes about an hour after dinner (for food to settle, mind to settle, alarm to go do them goes off, etc.), but by the time I get to the kitchen mom already has them done. Oddly enough, the dishes are what I do to get my weekly allowance, but getting $2 a week regardless whether I do it or not but getting criticized whenever I don't clean something good enough at 19 is kind of ridiculous when I could just go out and get a job.
I always feel like I do most things wrong whenever I'm in front of my family, because either I don't know what they want and never tell me, or I know what they do want, but it's an issue that is more or less something I can't change.
