What do I do?

So I’m female and live in a house with just men (my dad and brother), I feel like they don’t understand anything I’m going through. My dad is a radical conservative and so is my brother, but my brother also believes in the “old ways”, girls shouldn’t have rights kinda bs.

I have been asking them to make me a schedule of dinner to make, I don’t mind cooking since no one else in my house wants to do it, but it’s hard to come up with a decision myself because I have school and rehearsals almost every day, and I haven’t been super into food lately. When I gave them something to write down dinner for each week, they got mad and told me it wasn’t easy for them. I feel like I’m never getting a break because it’s expected of me to just cook and have stuff figured out. I asked if my dad could start helping me by cooking some days to alleviate some of the stress on me, and he got mad saying it’s not easy for him because he doesn’t have the drive to do it anymore. Mind you, he’s retired and my brother is unemployed and an adult, he’s also not in college or vocational, or any education at all. I don’t understand why everything has to be pinned on me, like why can they have bad days but I can’t? Why does their “work” matter more than mine?

im sorry to hear that usually unemployed males are always stressed and feel down that doesnt justify their actions tho 

since ur the 1 who cooks and u decide whats gonna be made for food u can tell ur brother to go buy the stuff thats needed for food. that will make it more fair
