Feel disgusting, like some kind of Russian serf transported through time to the 21st century. Mutti and Vati held lunch-roast-lamb party for friends, was OK until they buggered off and I started doing the washing up as a nice gesture, expecting that they'd tell me to stop and sit with them/go and revise for exam tomorrow. An hour later and 10 sets of cutlery, plates, desert stuff, pans, pots etc here I am definitely not appreciating this and not feeling like working either. It was a bit like being invisible because they were also talking about me, and could hear what they were saying and also have receieved no acknowledgement of this 1-person-cleaning-for-10. They made some half-arsed sympathy gestures i.e you don't have to do this *walk out and come back 45 mins later* oh look how much you've done, all of it, never mind.

Feeling very unchartiable at the moment, that is the problem with being the Good Girl or Boy, someone ends up losing and normally it's you.
