It sounds like aside from issues with your spouse, there is a family dynamic imbalance... chores being shared, older kids being responsible for their own laundry instead of blaming you for something not being clean and pressed when they want it. When us kids started getting too fussy about foods, mom replied (as she raced for the door to get to work) "well, I guess you'd better learn to cook, then!". I didn't start doing Domestic Chores until I was 12, but it took my mom off the hook and allowed her to continue her assertion of independence. I don't think it's ever too late to institute some changes.
Plus, you don't wear the doormat look very well - it's giving you a wedgie, girl!
