   It is difficult to be the responsible one all the time when others escape   
   or shirk being an adult.  Every family has one, but since you cannot   
   control them and only control yourself, then your option is to accept the   
   cross you are bearing and pray that you receive what you need to continue   
   on.  Love of God is in a short words, "in service of Him."  Part of the   
   passage of the bible is that those who are first are last and in your case    
   you will reap the rewards from the cross you bear, just not here on earth.    
    Love is being "in service of others," and you are showing your love for   
   your family in the things you are doing for them.   
       
   Continue to have faith.
