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.
