Search Results: cooking for a friend

Last year, I met a dutch guy from Tinder. He was 22, i was 18 and we hit it off immediately. We had an instant romantic comedy worthy connection. We saw each other several times a week for exactly one month, cooking meals together and meeting each other's friends. His internship in America ended mid/late December but he promised me an open invitation to visit him in the Netherlands whenever.

We've kept in touch, which included friendly text conversations maybe once a month. A couple nights ago, I had a dream about him. Nothing overtly sexual, but I let him know that I remember spending time with him. He invited me to come visit him this winter break. He offered to be a personal tour guide and let me sleep at his place, free of charge.

I found round trip tickets to Amsterdam for $550 and if I had free lodging, money wouldn't be too much of an issue. he said that a 2 week stay (end of dec- mid jan) is okay with him. I've had a very stressful semester, and I would really love to go on a vacation and see an old flame. but i'm wondering, is it too risky?

So everyday I clean the house while my mom works or sleeps. My brother never cleans the house he works and the same goes for my brother's girlfriend. She doesn't really do anything anyways. They all just work. My mom makes me cook dinner everyday and do chores every single day. I don't mind cause I'm unemployed and plus I like cooking. It just annoys me when she orders me around and just me cause I never see her doing that to my younger sister.

Like right now my mom gave me a list of chores to do and I told her "Why is it always me? Why don't you tell someone else?" And she's like cause you don't work. My sister doesn't do much either. She just goes to a community college 2 days a week for 4 hours and all the other times she gets things handed to her. She gets cooked for and never cleans. In her free time she hangs out in her room all day on her phone or either goes out with her friend to go pokemon hunting or to the gym. I never once saw her cleaning or cooking & my mom has never once told her to clean. It's always me cleaning and cooking in the house. Plus my mom and my brother give her money sometimes and they baby her. I don't get money at all for my chores. I haven't been paid once at all. I'm the black sheep of the family. I don't care about cooking or cleaning cause I'm a naturally caring nurturing type of person. I just want to know if it's wrong that she doesn't help me or do anything at all or if that's a good excuse not to help around the house? Do you think I should be getting paid? Are they taking advantage of me? Do you think my sister should be helping? Is going to college 2 days a week really that stressful for 4 hours? Or do you think this is normal for me to do since I'm unemployed?
