I'm going to suggest this to you. You can decide if any of it applies to your home. When you mother comes home from work, she is probably tired. It's hard to work a job and then come home and work the other job: that of running a household. Anyone old enough to write what you did is old enough to contribute by helping with the laundry and dishes and other chores. Unless your sister is severely disabled, there is no reason why she shouldn't help, too, since she lives in the house. If she doesn't -- and I had a sibling who didn't have to; I seriously suggest you (and I know this will be hard) just get over it, do the chores you are able to do, and resolve that when you grow up and make your own home, you won't be unfair to people. I think you need to know one other thing. People usually have roles in families. They are frequently not equal. If your father is all about the love and seeing to your emotional support and being the great parent, and whatnot, and the only thing you can say about your mother is that she works, then the roles both your parents are playing are the ones they have assigned themselves and each other. If you want more love and attention from your mother, reach out to her. If she rebuffs you -- and this will be hard, but not accepting a reality is in the long run more difficult that accepting one, chalk your mother's indifference up to experience, and know that it isn't your fault. It could be that because your father is Daddy Greatest, mom is shoved off away from her children, and this role of indifferent working mother may not be entirely of her choosing.
