I can't stand my Mom, help!?

-I'm sixteen and I live at home with my Mom, Dad, and little brother. I'm a relatively good kid-I get A's and B's, I have a part time job, and I do everything my parents ask. And my Dad is the best guy ever. He's really sweet and helps me out when I need it. But my Mom always finds a way to break me down. If I'm sitting watching TV for a minute, she'll flip a ***** and call me lazy and ungrateful and ***** about how the floor isn't vacuumed even though it's completely clean. Then ten minutes later she'll be HEY LET'S WATCH THIS SHOW TOGETHER! And then, she'll ask me to look something up on the computer for her. Like today, she asked me to log on to the uniform shop for my school. So I did, but I needed a web code I didn't have. So I told her, but apparently she wasn't listening to me, so she said to me in this really rude tone, "ARE YOU DOING THAT?" I answered that I needed a webcode that I didn't have, so I sent an e-mail to the school and they would send me one soon. She then proceeded to ask me in the same tone, "WHEN WILL THEY DO THAT?" I replied in a joking tone, "I don't know Mom, I don't work there!" She shouted that I was being a "princess punk" and my sarcasm made me seem like a ***** and I was ungrateful. So then I was upset and replied, "So I'm not allowed to joke, now? That's fair, Mother." And then she was like, "ARE YOU ON YOUR PERIOD OR SOMETHING? BECAUSE YOU'RE BEING A *****." So I got upset and walked out. Now my cousins are over and she's acting all sweet towards them and I hate her, because she always is so sweet to them and treats me like I'm a dog. My cousins aren't half as polite as I am, but she's always making them out to be gods. She'll try to embarass me in front of them, and when I call her out on it, she says I can't take a joke. That leads to this cycle that leads to us fighting, me crying, and her cussing me out. It never ends.



I'm sick of this, and I don't know how much longer I can handle it. What should I do?This seems like a typical issue for most teenagers, it's honestly not that serious, and you aren't the only one either. It seems like there's more to this than meets the eye, you could just be exaggerating for all I know. We teenagers all go through mood swings, and sarcasm, it's natural, but our parents spend 24/7/365 cleaning up our ****, running around after us, cooking, cleaning, making sure we have school uniform, driving us places, making sure they don't forget birthdays and christmas', then on top of that they have their day jobs. We're going through changes in our lives, and their exhausted from working to provide, so naturally tensions are just going to be high. You'll look back at these days and laugh, I know I will. But make the best of it, a dysfunctional family, is a functional one.



At the same time parents are idiots. They don't understand the social climate that exists between our youth today, it was far different from when they were younger, we have all kinds of things like, the internet, facebook, opportunities for our education, and our parents didn't have that, they were either intellectually good enough to take education to the next level (university, college, etc), and the ones that didn't had to push themselves into the working world. We're a little too sensitive these days, and we take everything for granted, so just bare things like this in mind, the next time you have an argument. Just ignore her, or leave, better yet talk to your dad. Maybe he can get her to ease off a bit.Try talking to your Dad, get your feelings over to him, and ask him to speak with your Mother maybe with you, and then hopefully you will make up and be good to each other :)
Talk to therapist or school counselor or something because she sounds like she is kinda abusive (in the emotional way)
me and my mom are about the same except im a boy but we r same age im always getting snaped at i finally just stopped listining to her
try to be nicer to her and she'll be nicer to you
oh dude, you're my soulmate. Same here, i've tried talking with her but it doesn't work.. Try talking to your dad about this, he prob will help you!



Good luck :D
Sounds like we are all in the same boat here.... Im pretty sure my mom is bipolar and on top of this shes a drunk, soooo yea, and even though I am 24 and can leave when I want it still just sucks! I mean I just graduated college and am working as a nurse but no matter what I do its not good enough and what sucks is shes staying with my husband and I for 3 months.... and shes driving me crazy... I dont know what advise to give you honestly. other than avoid her, that's what I do.... Sorry Kiddo I think moms just go crazy at some point Idk....
I think your mom is bi-polar. Mine is and she is a ******! You could just stop caring about her and give up. Do what she dont want you to do and all that sh*t. Then she will stop caring about you too. And when she ask you do something be like get off your fat as and do it ur self! Just do little things to piss her off. At first it will be hard on you but you will fill good about it.

Thats what I do to my mom. I am 15.
Have you try to talk to her about this? Maybe if you are uncomfortable talking to her maybe explain to your dad whats going on and see if he can talk her about how you feel, or maybe all 3 of you can sit and talk.. I dont think that is right for her to be treating you so hopefully something and get worked out! good luck
i think she should consider therapy. it seems like shes kind of bipolar, lol. shes mad, then happy then gets mad again. how old is she? maybe shes going through the age of menopause.
Haha i'm 27 and my Mom is the same way due to my fiancees death a few years ago and losing my job and having an 80lbs dog living on my own just wasn't going to happen anymore so now i'm stuck at home and with my mom and little brother its not as bad cause i can get in my car and go and she can't say anything but when i was 16 i remember I did EVERYTHING i could to make her see that i'm not a bad kid i did my homework i studied never got in trouble all while my parents were going threw a nasty divorce but to this day she will try to bring me down now i just look at her and ask her "Mom is something bothering you cause you seem really mad and I'm not sure what I did?" It sucks i know but hang in there kid and focus on yourself do really well in school and then go to a far away college
