My parents don't really like cooking or any kind of meal prep. They cook and stuff but they've always hated it so much. While I (16m) like cooking, love it even, and baking. I started to enjoy it 3 years ago when my grandparents started taking me and my younger siblings (14f, 13f, 10m, 8m) after in person learning came back post-Covid. My grandparents love to cook so it was fun and cool to learn from them and I picked up some recipes from them. When my parents heard this they added cooking 1 night a week once you're 13 to the list. I liked it because I enjoy my cooking more than my parents. Probably because I don't hate every second of cooking so I pay more attention.
My family preferred it too. Especially my siblings.
My sisters do not like cooking and our parents stopped the rule when both of them turned out to make shitty food. They didn't want to come home from work to eat bad food. They knew my sisters hated cooking too so they knew they wouldn't want to do better and my parents didn't blame them since they hate it. So my parents told me they wanted me to take over cooking 3 nights a week. I told them I wanted them to drop my chore of kid bathroom chore for the extra nights cooking chore.
The bathroom I share with my siblings is gross and disgusting. My parents let so much awful stuff fly with them in there because nobody else uses it but I'm supposed to make sure it's clean and ugh. I'm talking my sisters not disposing of their period pads well and sometimes leaving them, marks being left on the toilet seat, shit left in the toilet, all kinds of stuff in the shower. And one of my brothers pisses all over the place at night when he's half asleep so extra gross. My parents never try to anything about it but I hate cleaning that bathroom. I never want to use it. Sometimes I ask my best friends family if I can use theirs (they live right next door) because it's better.
My parents refused to drop that because they know my siblings won't clean it good and they don't want to do it either. So I said no to cooking three nights. My parents said I don't make the rules as the kid and I told them I refuse to take on more when I have the worst job in the house.
AITA?
