Amy says her mum thinks boys need extra help. Her mum says Amy has plenty of time to do her own chores. You get to pull the plug on this pressing dispute

I feel that my older brother gets an easier ride than I do. It’s very gendered

There’s just one issue I find unfair. Sometimes I don’t have time to do my laundry and ironing, so I’d love it if my mum did it when she had the chance. She still does Ailun’s laundry. He’s 26 and also works in finance. He pays more in bills to our mum but I don’t think that’s why she does it.Mum often says: “It’s time for you to grow up. You also have more time on your hands.” With Ailun, she’s like, “Oh, boys need extra help, and he works so hard.

I’ve brought this up with her and she will occasionally add my clothes to the laundry load but she never irons them. Again, I wouldn’t mind, but she always irons my brother’s shirts. Growing up I always noticed that Ailun got away with way more stuff than me. As soon as I turned 10 I was expected to help out with cooking and cleaning, but I never saw him doing much of that.

Amy returned from university and now has all these radical ideas. She thinks that I treat her differently from Ailun, when that’s really not the case. Ailun and I have been living together since he graduated from university four years ago. We have got into a rhythm of doing things while Amy’s been away.
