Should I only cook for myself and not for my family?

I love to cook, and I always cook for my family. Because my mom does not really know how to cook, she usually heats up frozen meals. Plus shes overworked with her job. Since I'm the girl in the house, I usually end up being the one cooking, and cleaning up the kitchen. The thing is, my father complains about the mess in the kitchen after I finish cooking. And it's usually after dinner, because at night no one washes their dishes including my father, and does not clean up after themselves. I try to wash all the pans after, but if one or two get left out, hes complaining to me the very next morning when I wake up. He got mad because I forgot to put away the left over food after I was done cooking, and I know it was my fault. He then told me to not cook anymore, but If I don't, nobody will have anything to eat. He can't really cook, and so cannot my uncle and brother. If I don't cook, they're gonna be stuck eating sandwiches or buying junk food when they can. During our argument, when I said what will happen if I don't cook, since my mom cannot really cook, my brother turns around and says that I can't cook. I've taken many cooking cles and I have been making meals for my family ever since. They do enjoy my meals. My brother enjoys my pancakes, and I always make him pancakes when he asks me too. I just don't like how he disrespects me after all the cooking I do for him. I try to make sure my family eats. But today, my father argued with me because I did not finish washing their dishes and taking care most of the leftover food. I know it was all my fault but geez, give me a break. I think that they can at least help out a little and maybe even wash their own dishes after they're finished eating. I don't know what to do now. I wonder if I should just cook for myself and clean up after only myself . And just let them eat sandwiches or canned foods. Is this a good idea?
