I (18F) still live at home and since I was about 12, I take care of the house in almost its entirety. I cook all meals, I clean, I fix whatever is broken, deal with customer support if its something like our ISP or phones needing fixing etc. I do everyone's laundry, and at this point the only thing I don't do is pay the mortgage in its entirety.

I have been working these past few months as a part time at a local grocery store, and I don't earn a whole hell of a lot but its a starting job so I cant complain. My father unfortunately lost his job a few weeks ago and he is the primary bread earner for the family. My mother still works but her income is insufficient to cover all the monthly essentials.

My mother and I got into it last night about me not wanting to hand over my entire paycheck for the foreseeable future to assist with the bills. I feel that with me already paying rent (50% of my paycheck) and my house work, that I am already doing my fair share.

Now it is worth sharing my mother can be very controlling and overprotective. To me, it feels like she just wants to take my money to prevent me from getting into "Trouble" or whatever have you, but that's its own long ranty post I wont put here.

AITAH for not wanting to give all my money to my parents? We currently aren't in any immediate danger of losing our home or anything.
