I hate having kittens and i dont know what to do

Vent Advice Wanted

My mom suprised me and my brother with 2 kittens late july and ever since i have been going back and forth between not wanting them and trying to stick it out in hopes theyll act better/ill get use to them but i dont think i will, since weve gotten them theyve been my main responsibility because my brother works most of the day and he already has an older cat i have barely any issues with that i also look after during the day but taking care of all 3 cats has been slowly draining me the kittens run around crashing into stuff and wont let me catch them if theyre out and end up cutting me on my ankles and feet from running like a tornado thru the house which stresses the older cat out because shes more reserved and jumpy so they dont get along. the kittens have an enclosure i feed them in with theor litter box inside anytime im not there wat hing their every for 2 seconds they tip the enclosure over usually knocking their food over into the litter and just making a mess any way they can i cant leave water in the enclosure because theyll knock it over and ruin my carpet (they have tried multiple times i have cardboard under the enclosure to stop it from reaching) after i move them to a carrier so they go to sleep til i take them out to eat poop and play again. my brother isnt much help because he works and when i go to work idk how the kittens will manage with the way they act they consume my whole day and i usually forget to take care of myself because im taking care of all the cats i either wont get hungry or forget to eat and i get maybe 3-6 hours of sleep i feel paralyzed worrying if the kittens are ok when theyre in the carrier they make me so anxious idk what to do.

i never asked for kittens when i asked my mom for a cat i wanted one and i wanted an adult so i could avoid this but im just getting more and more annoyed with them and im the only one caring for them they have rarely any cute moments when theyre calm because they get out and immediately want to start racing and my brothers kitten is the worst one shes super vocal tips the enclosure over and has the sharpest nails and always stratches me if i dont pick her up by the scruff im tired of them but im this far in so i feel bad if i got rid of them i got the cat of my dreams but i just wish i could skip to them being grown up so theyd stop being so troublesome i cant handle their energy its just too much
