Lazy Mother

Hi, My dad died when i was 10 (that was almost 8 years ago now) and left me and my 20 year old brother to be raised by my mother. Before his death, she was really organized and neat (even when she was working, not staying at home). but after he died she stayed home for a few years (wasted all of our savings) and got used to having however much time she wanted for housework/errands. she's been working now for about 5-6 years, and has become so lazy that i can barely live with her anymore. when she first went back to work, nothing around the house got done, it was such a mess, certain rooms were like big closets that we just hid stuff in when company came over (her version of cleaning). and i got so sick and tired of it that ii started doing the housework myself, in the past 3 years i have managed to salvage a doomed house, and gut out those "secret rooms" and our house isnt in too bad shape, other than some repairs that she "doesn't have the money for". iive gotten kind of used to cleaning and everything, but now im in my last year of high school and i dont have as much time anymore. also im leaving for post-secondary in the fall, and i want her to be able to take care of herself. when she does do house work, it's very seldom, and because she used to stay at home, she taked three times as long to do something. all she does is watch tv, sleep, and complain about her job as a cashier. she wastes all of her money eating out because she doesnt want to cook or wash dishes after wards. what should i do? i need some advice.
