I (f15) got diagnosed with Cancer (Leukemia) 2 months ago. It has been rough I’m constantly feeling sick and tired for about a week after chemo.

I live with my dad, dad’s GF, and her 2 kids (m10) & (f12). My dad and his girlfriend have been dating for 3 years now and started living with us about a year ago. Her kids visit with their dad every other weekend but during the week sometimes he does stuff like take them out to eat or something.

Both the kids and I usually have a few chores we have to do Daily. But since starting chemo some days I barely have the energy to watch TV let alone do chores so usually I don’t do them on days like that.

Well, yesterday the kid’s dad came over to take them to the movies, Dad’s girlfriend wanted them to finish putting the dishes away and I was 2 days post chemo and laying on the couch barely keeping my eyes open enough to watch TV. The kid’s dad saw him and asked why his kids had to do all the chores and I just got to lay around. He knows I have cancer too. Before my dad or his gf could reply I said I just finished a round of chemo 2 days ago that’s why… would you make your kids do chores after having toxins go in their body… if so then your a big asshole. He got mad and called me a brat.

My dad and his girlfriend aren’t mad at me but said I should have worded it differently since the kids were around and that’s their dad. I feel like I was in the wrong now… so I’m asking for Reddit’s opinion Was I an AH?
