My mom and I always fight

I am 17 and my mom and I always fight whenever we are around each other and she rags on me for every little thing I do… And im a really good kid granted I know I dont clean up after myself as much as she wants but im not into drinking or drugs like 90% of my school is…and trust me if I wanted any of that I could get my hands on it easily..but if I am out with my friends for a day, when I get home she will start screaming and shouting about how I like them more then my family and I dont spend enough time with her..and shes right..why would I want to b with someone who I always argue with when I have people who I get along with and make me laugh and have fun instead? Its so stupid because she also says ever since I got my licence im never home which again bring me back to the question why would I want to be home to have another arguement.. So now, when we argue she takes my car keys away and im stuck at home with her which.. Yea you guessed it.. Makes us argue more… And my dad just sits there and watches and later tells me I was right in the situation but he never gets involved because he doesnt want to get on my moms bad side because when shes mad at one person shes mad at the world!… I dont think I am going to b able to take another year of her before I go off to college…like today I came home 15 min late froma friends house and she flipped out screaming about how much she hates me and that I ruin her life and she threatens to disown me and then she goes and takes me phone, keys, comp, and tv out of my room… For being 15 min late!!! I dont understand her and when I try to talk about it she yells again telling me its my fault and I case the problems I dont know what to do and I need serious help.. How can we not fight??

Answer #1

Ok… I think you should talk to her about her day and be careful about the tone you use when you talk to her, if she starts picking a fight just agree with her whether it’s true or not. you should probably make a card for her an tell her how sry you r and that everything was your fault and u’ll try to do things the way she wants you to do them.

Answer #2

The only thing you can do is to try to avoid the arguement. Come home early or at least on time. If she starts yelling at you then KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT (I know this will be hard, I’ve been there with my own mother). Try to hang in there you will get through it and try to understand that she might just feel like she’s losing her “baby”. Mothers sometimes have a very hard time with their children growing up and becoming independent (this isn’t an excuse for her behavior just reality). Be patient and try to understand how she’s feeling, maybe it will bring her around to be a little more “normal”.

Good luck

Answer #3

I read a few lines and skipped. I can say I was/is a good kid/person but it means nothing. How about this? Never fight. If your mom wants to fight, don’t. It takes 2 people to fight. Never raise your voice. You don’t have to win. You don’t have to prove her wrong. If she makes a mistake, it’s okay. She’s human no one’s perfect. If you refuse to fight, things will get better. As well, if she ever does the above…don’t put her down or look down on her, just politely tell her you don’t appreciate it and keep it short. No need to fight and no need to prove people wrong. Basically, if you only settle for niceness you’ll naturally be surrounded with nice people.

I live in the Netherlands.. someplace Nearby Amsterdam.. and you now Holland is one big Weed and cocaine place right… but I never ever had something to do with alcohol..or drugs positive!, But like whenever I go out just like 1 night for a few hours or so, and I really didn’t do anything wrong..;. She just gets like… mad and says all kind of thing like. you aren’t a junky JET but you’re going to be if you’re out so late… and she always arges about my grates at school and thing like that… and like really… I”M TRYING TO BE GOOD>>> BUT ALWAYS when I’m arround her there is a fight!!! but we also have our good times.. but still those good times are runed by arges and things like that… and I tell ya.. Talking to her in a arge is IMPOSSIBle like breaking in, in the White house!!… fock man.. I hate my life… if ya don’t hear anything of me again… means I commited suicide ;)..:S
