I live with three lazy people.

Being lazy is a lack of motivation or effort in engaging with activities or tasks, often involving disinclination to work or take trouble despite having the ability to do so. It can manifest as a general unwillingness to act or a reluctance to exert oneself in specific situations.
Here's a more detailed look:
Key aspects of being lazy:
Lack of motivation:
Lazy individuals may experience a general lack of desire to engage with tasks or activities, according to Psychology Today.
Disinclination to work:
A lazy person may not want to work or make the effort necessary to complete tasks, according to Collins Dictionary.
Reluctance to exert oneself:
Laziness can also involve a reluctance to expend energy or effort, even when the task is essential, according to Psychology Today.
Possible causes:
Lack of motivation can stem from various factors, including fatigue, boredom, or a lack of interest in the specific task, says an anonymous source.
Synonyms:
Terms like "indolent," "slothful," and "slacker" are often used to describe individuals perceived as lazy.
Examples of lazy behavior:
Avoiding tasks: Procrastinating or putting off tasks that need to be done.
Lack of effort: Performing tasks in a half-hearted or minimal manner.
Spending time passively: Engaging in activities that require little to no effort, such as watching TV or sitting on the couch.

Being lazy is not necessarily bad. You have every right to sleep in a little later on the weekend.

I studied Engineering in college, and the College Dean once told me that I would make a good engineer because I'm lazy. That surprised me, so he explained further. He said that, rather than always creating something new, I am the type who looks at what's already been done and reuse or modify it whenever I can.

I don't feel like that's considered lazy I always sleep in on the weekends I dont work and then once I'm up I clean the house and watch tv

My parents decided to write up a contract since they believed i was being lazy and if i dont follow it they will kick me off the property

[trumpetplayerforlife]

I'd say try to save up and find a new place to live ik I moved out when I turned 18 years old

[Awesomesauce2005]

The reason i still live with my parents is because im currently saving up for property

[Awesomesauce2005]

Renting somewhere would greatly cripple my ability to save money

Then you have to play nice and follow what they say no way around it

Balancing work and rest is crucial. Your schedule sounds demanding, and allowing yourself extra sleep on weekends can be beneficial for recovery. Each person has different needs for rest, especially after a long week. Open communication with your dad could help him understand your perspective. Explain your weekly routine and the importance of rest for your well-being. Finding a middle ground where both of you feel understood and respected is key to resolving this situation. Remember, rest is an essential part of maintaining productivity and health.

That's not "lazy", you already work a lot, you should be able to sleep longer on weekends.
